Saturday: brrr

Ben and I went out to shovel the driveway and realized why the furnace had been on so much today...it was frigid! It luckily didn't take us very long to shovel, but we were cold by the end. We also took down all the Christmas decorations. I miss the lights. I think that is my favorite part of Christmas decor.

It was still a very nice day though...we played some WoW, I took a nap, and just hung out.

We were are on a cool day in Florida.

Friday: 2010

What a wonderful way to start the new year...we went to a Rockband Party last night and then stayed home all day. Flurry was still nice and cuddly so we spent a lot of time reading by here. We finished unpacking and played with our Christmas presents.

Thursday: the year in review

So I was thinking about 2009 and decided it wasn't one of my favorite years. Now, there were lots of good times, no doubt. But there were a few things that overshadowed most of the year that also made it not my favorite. So, instead of talking more about that I decided to take one random picture from each month...and I was reminded how blessed I really am.

January: Betsie left. :( Here are people from our Bible Study at the good bye bowling.

February: I made a tablecloth.

March: Bible study potluck at our house. We had lots of potlucks this year!

April: Ashlyn and I painted our toenails.

May: Dad and Pat came over and we went to Watkin's Glen.

June: Girl's night! We put parafin on our hands and feet.

July: Ben got me a get-well kit.

August: we went to Niagra with some friends.

September: I went to a woman's retreat with my church. It was rather cold.

October: still quilting away.

November: we put the Christmas tree up

December: I took a picture of driftwood on a beach in Florida.

Wednesday: from Sun to Flurries

The day started out beautiful.

Then we had to leave. However, the kids didn't throw up in the airplane, our car didn't break down on the way home, the house didn't burn down while we were gone, and Flurry was still alive...so it was a successful trip home.

Here's Flurry with the helicopter. She would get closer to it than the vaccuum, but tried to never let it out of her sight.

This morning we also awoke to snow! It was nice that it held off until we were home.

Monday: happy birthday Larry!

Today was Larry's birthday. We got him some ducks so he could teach his grandson to line all his (Larry's) ducks in a row.

We also spent time in the pool and the sun and just had a very nice and relaxing day.

Saturday: the Bubble Room

Today we went to Captiva to the Bubble Room. They have some amazing desserts...it was delicious!!
Afterwards I collected a few shells on the beach. I also tried to be artistic and took a photo of some driftwood.
Here we are on the boat! It was kind of cool out today which is why everyone is covered up.

Then I took a very nice nap. Yay naps!

Friday: Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Today was a wonderful day with family. We opened presents and got and gave a bunch of fun things (RC helicopters were one of the popular gifts). We played games, read books, and ate good food the rest of the day.


Overall, a wonderful day.
