Happy Birthday Bryce!

My friend Liz's son celebrated his second birthday on Saturday, December 12th. Everything was "Thomas the Train" themed, including the bouncy castle that was in the backyard. Dave and I even got to play in it after all the kids left.
Dylan loved the balloon!

He's really in to pulling you close and giving big kisses...


Check out that cake!!!

We played "pin the nose on Thomas". You can see that Dylan did participate, but he would much rather eat his piece than get it in the right position. (look closely...his piece is really wet and way up at the top)

Enjoying some play time...


Quality time with the birthday boy in the bouncy...



School Holiday Party

Dylan attended his first holiday party on Friday, December 11th. I took a couple pictures, but not nearly as many as I should have. As you can see, there are none with Dave and me.
Here's Laura...

My principal...

Nichole with Dylan and me...

Gator Mania

There's always a huge football game the weekend after Thanksgiving. It's usually tense in our family since Uncle Jeff, Dave, and I are graduates of UF, while both my mom and brother attended FSU. Dylan and I headed over to Aunt Kristin and Uncle Jeff's house for the big game. Dave actually went to Gainesville. He had a great time even though it took him four and a half hours to get there! It was nice to see Tebow win his last game in "The Swamp"....

And it's always fabulous to be on the winning side of the family rivalry.

It wouldn't be a Friday without Outback happy hour! So, the day after Thanksgiving we headed over to Outback to get together with friends and family.

Fun times with Aunt Samma...


For some reason Dylan ALWAYS gets the same drink...

All the excitement really wears some people out!!

A Lot to be Thankful for...

Dylan had a spectacular first turkey day! His Aunt Samma came to town from Houston. We headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's house early in the afternoon. We hung out until it was time for the feast. Dylan sat in a high chair for the first time. He sat right there with us at the table in his assigned seat (please see the place card). It was rather special as it was the same high chair that Dave used to sit in as well as Aunt Samma and Uncle Andy. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food and the family time chatting (and resting) in front of the fire.


Just Hanging With Mom and Dad

It's always nice to spend some quality time together, just the three of us, as a family.
