All Saints Nativity Pageant 2015

 Our final Christmas Pageant at All Saints.  Dylan did an amazing job.  He spoke his line when it was his time and sand loudly during the songs.  Love my little Saint.

They were really into taking pictures. Can you tell?

Shark and Cray

There was a time when Dylan could not be in a car, sit in a restaurant, or go to bed without his brothers with him.  Dylan and his brothers (About 9 of them) went on the most fantastic adventures.  Shark and Cray were the constant companions, but other made appearances along the way.  For instance, the youngest Jack, was just a baby, but joined them when he could.

Did you know that Dylan rode the roller coasters with Shark at Disney before Ellison ever did? Did you know all of the brothers including Dylan had already been to Seattle and thought Alaska was amazing?  They loved North Carolina.

They could often be found riding in the car next to us. Sometimes they would join us for sleepovers or just the bedtime stories.  Always a joy to have around.

So you can imagine how sad it was to hear that Dylan's brothers had moved to the West Coast.  They no longer live a few houses down and join us on our daily adventures.

I miss those boys.  I miss my little boy.  He is growing up.  Saying goodbye to his imaginary friends.
I did find out recently that Shark was actually a Shark.  Didn't see that coming. He is scared of blue whales... may be why he hid for most of our Alaska trip.

ADORABLENESS!

Christmas in the Hood

Christmas in Dommerich means a morning Santa Parade at our friend's house with mimosas followed by The Very Merry Clark Movie Night at our house.

 Parade day was a scorcher, but it was fun to gather with friends and catch candy (and enjoy sips).

Semi in the holiday spirit.  Can you tell?  

 We had a great movie night at our house.  Several friends joined us for the party.

The sign of a good party... fast asleep!

First UF Game

 There is something special about taking your kids to their first Gator game!  UF is where Graham and I met.  I grew up going to the games with my Dad.  It was a very sentimental day.  We are definitely raising Gators.  GO GATORS!

Rudolph Fun

 We started the Holiday season at one of our favorite theaters!  Ho Ho Ho!

We CAMPED!

 You might be surprised to hear this, but I have camped before... a long, long time ago.  On the way to the campsite, I suggested that we keep going and head straight for NSB.  She did not like my suggestion.  In the end, we had a great time.  I would definitely camp again.  I would just ask for a cooler night and fewer mosquitoes.
