New Year's Eve

The beach with friends is a great way to spend the last day of 2009. We packed a bit and worked on our palm tree puzzle, then went down to the beach to meet Sarah, Uwe, and Lila. The crazy kids even dipped into the Gulf then stuck around for a little building in the sand.

After some time in the pool we went to Sarah and Uwe's for a New Year's dinner of roasted veggies with pasta. Yum! What a fun way to end the year!

Fun on Siesta Key

We had a great day swimming and playing on the beach. The Santoros came over for dinner. Before dinner we went out to watch the sun set and take some pictures.

Lala took Teagan and Riley to get manicures. They chose their own manicure, so they both came home with this gorgeous pink and green polka dot design.

Baby sitting Lila

Sarah and I went to lunch together rather than exchanging gifts .It was so nice to have some time together without kids and/or cooking. We actually got to complete sentences!

Teagan had a great time baby sitting Lila. Sarah brought her over to the apartment and we went out in the village. We went to a yummy restaurant called Sun Garden Cafe.

Braeden gets glasses!

Braeden got glasses for distance today. I thought he wouldn't actually walk out of the appointment with them, but that is almost what we did! We did have dinner while we waited for them, but that was much faster than I expected.
