New Year's Fun

Since I'm still in catch up mode, I figured I'd better cover Christmas and New Year's...just for the record! :) For some reason on this 70+ degree day, I felt like posting our New Year's pics, since we were at the beach and it was about the same temp!  We were playing outside this morning and I had to run in and change into shorts and a t-shirt because I was burning up!
Anywho, on to New Year's...
The flag says "Joy" - I thought that was pretty explanatory of the little guy in the picture! :)
Playing on the beach in your PJ's and Uggs - what could be more fun in December?!?
Dylan and Mills had fun rolling in the sand together!
silly little goose!
Picking up shells and looking for "shark teef"
 The pics look a little funky because it was so bright outside = super exposure!
 so.much.fun.
Madison being silly! :)
Daddy and Millsy!
 
"Dee-dee" and Mills!
New Year's Eve was pretty low-key.  We just hung around the beach house...and of course those that could partake, enjoyed the oysters and vino!
I don't know what was going on, but the guys in this pic made me laugh. :)
 
We don't take a ton of pics of the three of us, so I just included them all!
Hangin' out with the boys.
Fam again!
Adam and Kelley
Usual beach house behavior by the guys...
HANDSOME.
Nicholas' aunt and uncle and their girls and boyfriends came up from Miami, too, but somehow I managed not to take any pics with the whole crew {I think b/c I was taking it easy while Maria was taking so many pictures...I'll have to get some from her!}
On New Year's Day, Betsy and I took the kids to the aquarium while the guys played golf.
Mills loved it!  He was pretty intrigued by this little guy...
 {he was even clapping for him/her...as you can tell in the second pic below, haha}
Mills also enjoyed the fact that their Christmas decorations were still up! :)
 After golfing, Nicholas came to meet up with us - yay!!!
Check out the nose on that guy!!!  Mills liked the underwater tunnel!
...And it was a good thing we stashed some Uncrustables in our purses, because it turns out that fish-watching can work up quite an appetite! :)
Mills was mesmerized by the shark's teeth...he kept talking about them after we left...and if you ask him about the aquarium, he'll tell you he saw "beesh" {fish} and the sharks' teeth!
Stingray petting with Daddy!
Dylan and Maddy with their goodies.
We had a fun and relaxing New Year's weekend...with a full house of people and beautiful weather.  Christmas post coming soon...and I can't wait to tell you about the fun time we had this past weekend in Asheville celebrating Robert's 30th birthday!! :)

Couple of pics and marching band

It's been an exhausting, no napping {aka no 2 seconds to myself}, dinner cooking, constantly running/cleaning after a toddler kind of a day...so all I've got is a couple of iPhone pics and a silly video. :)
cute cousins!
And this is how we spend our days around here...today on Sprout (which was on in the background while we were playing "choo-choos"), Calliou was having a makeshift marching band with his friends...so of course Mills and I had to do the same!  He had is own little drum and we marched around the house for about 20 minutes singing The Wheels On the Bus and Old MacDonald...ignore my annoying {painful} belting out loud singing...we weren't auditioning for American Idol, my friends! :)
