We Are In Florida!

We are back from Florida!  So I have tons of pics to share.  But before that, last Saturday, Ariel came back from a friend's house and showed us all the stuff she bought on her shopping trip.  

There was a little snow outside.  

I went to the gym.  

Mom came over to make cookies with the kids.  

Eli had been asking to make Hanukkah cookies.  

So much fun!

Eli did most of the decorating.  

We went to go to dinner.  The car windshield covers helped a lot.  

We had dinner with Melissa Mark and Natalie and Erika in Lambertville.  It was a nice dinner.  

Last Sunday, we finished packing and headed to the airport!  We had not planned to go to Florida until a few days before.  It was a long break and we needed to do something with the kids.  

Yes, we flew Frontier. The flight was delayed 4 hours!  Luckily, we knew that while we were still home so we just waited there.  

Hedwig was excited to go.  

We finally got off.  

Beautiful sunset!

We got to Florida after 8.  Everyone was hungry so we found a nearby Italian restaurant which was actually pretty good.  

It was a pretty drive to the condo.  

We got the twins to sleep, then Ariel and I went for a walk.  

It was so nice to be back!

The lights all around were pretty.  

It was a long day but we enjoyed walking around in the warmth.  

 

George Washington

Last Thursday was Christmas.  Stella was always looking for food.  

I took Eli to see Washington cross the Delaware.  He actually did that right near our house on December 25, 1776.  They reenact it every year.  

It was a nice day and very crowded.  

There were soldiers everywhere!

These are replicas of the boats they used.  

There's the river.  People were watching from the bridge.  

These are the huts the soldiers stayed in.  

The soldiers were on the move.  

There's General Washington!  They reenacted some the discussions they had that day.  

They didn't actually do the crossing because the water was too low.  

I drove Ariel to Fionna's house later that night.  It was all Christmassed out!

It was fun going through their Christmas presents.  

Last Friday, I was out early walking Stella.  

The gym was packed!  Lots of college kids.  

Vicky came over to make Oreo gingerbread trains.  

They went wild in the basement for a bit.  

It started snowing then turned to sleet.  

They watched movies in the secret room.  

Then she headed out.  Have a great weekend!
