Way Back When-esday...First Snow

When I woke up this morning...after taking off my extra fleece blanket...I couldn't believe the temperature outside--in the 30's... Brrr! I live in Florida, right? It brought back so many memories of my childhood in Southern Indiana. It really feels like it could snow here. Which made me think back to Emma's first experience seeing snow.

I still remember how excited she was to play in the snow. She still asks when we can go back to Indy during the winter. Although the snow is so pretty to look at, I'm just not so sure we're ready to drive in the ice.

I just checked the weather forecast for this weekend...Looks like it's going to be almost 80 degrees and beautiful! Gotta love Florida!

Makes My Monday: Mary and Joseph

Seriously who needs to pay for entertainment when you have these two around...
Emma and Max decided to play "nativity scene" and have been dressing up as Mary and Joseph(or as Max says Jofes) all weekend. It is absolutely precious and they have been singing their little hearts out too...Max's favorite: We Three Kings and Emma's favorite "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" It it so precious. Don't you just love baby Jesus's stroller and little lamb?

Dad's Birthday and the Spectacle of Lights

This past weekend we celebrated my Dad's 56th birthday with a Robbins style bash. We had a great lunch at my parent's house and then headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios for the Osborn's Spectacle of Lights. I just love going to see all of the Christmas lights and I love spending time with my parent's, brother, and sister, and their families...all 17 of us had a fantastic time!!
