A Florida Christmas!

For the first time in our lives, we celebrated Christmas away from the cold and snow. Grandpa and Grandma B also ventured down to the tropics to celebrate with us. This was their first Christmas away from Minnesota as well. We had such a great time doing all the holiday like events...... baking cookies, opening presents, driving around to see lights, snowball fights with packing peanuts, going to see Santa, GOLFING, BEACHING and going to the park! We missed Uncle Danny and Uncle Adam terribly! Grandma and Grandpa Schipper celebrated Christmas morning with us over the web cam. We got to open presents with them over the computer which was so awesome! Gracyn loved her new bike and shopping cart. It was so much fun to see Gracyn all crazy opening presents and talking about Santa. It's hard to imagine that next year that we will have another peanut crawling around and Gracyn even crazier than ever!

Grandpa and Grandma B headed home on Sunday. We ended the visit with a trip to the park where Gracyn insisted wearing her tutu, a Christmas gift from Claudia. We also had our first pizza at Chucky Cheese! We had such a blast watching Gracyn and Daddy on the rides. It was hard to see Grandpa and Grandma leave...... even harder for Grandpa to leave his chair on the outside patio.

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. We can't wait to hear all about it! Happy New Year!
