Christmas in Florida

Playing dress up!
Hanging out at the pool



Is he a natural or what? A quarterback in the making!



The whole family having New Year's Day dinner


Graham trying out Al's scuba gear



Payton and Gaia enjoying smores and a hot dog roast



More football pictures







Digging in the sand




Chilling by the Flamingos Enjoying the pool



Swimming with his arms (ice cream scoops) and kicking with his feet



Holding his breath and getting ready to dive down for Daddy's watch




Sailing on Grandpa Al's sailboat







Florida in December is a wonderful break from the snowy weather in Chicago! We had a great time again this year with Gaia and Grandpa Al and we had awesome weather!! Payton did great on the plane, even with a stop on the way down there and no dvd player to keep him entertained. What a trooper!
While in Florida we had a chance to go to the turtle park, the Lowry Park Zoo, the beach, the pool and for many walks around the neighborhood. Payton was so sad when it was time to go, especially since only one hour before we had to leave for the airport, Alyssa and Emma arrived for their stay. It was hard to pull him away from Emma and Gaia when it was time to leave:( We are looking forward to seeing them again in February.
