Day 1: Traveling to Florida
We took our first vacation as a family of four, and the flight went amazingly smoothly. The airport was empty (shocking so close to Christmas) and aside from Ella's bottles showing they had some illegal chemical in them and having to be further tested, we had no issues at the airport (Born Free, what are you using in your eco bottles???). Both girls were wonderful for the flight! Ella slept part of the way and just hung out the rest of the flight. Hannah ate, watched movies and used her new Dora magic water color coloring book. By the time we got to Grandma Joanie's, Hannah was ready to swim. She and daddy headed to the pool while mommy unpacked. Unpacking for four people took forever!
Day 2: Daddy's Birthday
Hannah woke up pretty stuffy, so we spent the day around the house. Jordan played 18 and Hannah, Ella, Grandma Joanie and I took "Kelly" for a walk. Hannah has a little mommy set in Florida, and she named the baby Kelly. While Hannah napped, Ella and I did a mini photo shoot by grandma's pool and when Hannah woke up, she and grandma lounged by the pool. Jordan and I had an adults night out to celebrate his birthday at a great steak house with Jamie and Melanie, which has become a yearly birthday tradition.
Day 3: Hanging Out with Jonathon
Hannah test drove Grandma's new golf cart and drove with daddy to the pool, sprinkler park and playground. Our friend's son Jonathon met us there for a swim and despite the rain, they had a great time. We ate lunch by the pool, and Ella got to have some quality time with Grandma Joanie. For Hannukah tonight, daddy gave Hannah her very own golf bag. They played out on the front lawn until the sun set. After sunset, we headed out to a neighborhood with amazing light displays. Hannah loves Christmas!
Day 4: Back to the Pool
We headed back to the pool with Jonathon today, and then while Hannah napped, Jordan, Ella and I took a nice long walk. We took a family picture before dinner, but Hannah was too cranky to join us so we will have to try again another night. She got a Dora puzzle and book about Dora going to the dentist for Hannukah, so we spent the evening reading and doing puzzles. She can't wait to go to the dentist!
Day 5: Aunt Steph and Unky Mike Came!
Aunt Steph and Unky Mike came in late last night and Hannah was so excited to see them when she woke up! Daddy played golf in the morning, while mommy, Hannah, Aunt Steph and Unky Mike headed to the pool. Hannah had a blast showing off her swimming skills. We spent the rest of the day getting ready for our annual party and took another attempt at a family photo. Hannah really turned on the charm, hugging and kissing all of grandma's friends. Ella was her typical happy self and greeted everyone with a big gummy smile and coos. Ella talks even more than Hannah, I wonder where they get that from...
Day 6: Fair at Patch Reef Park and Beach with Poppy Hal
We had such a busy day today. Mommy and Aunt Steph had spa pedicures this morning which were amazing! We then all headed to Patch Reef Park to meet up with Aunt Jill, Uncle Marc, Jake and Jon for a carnival. Hannah loved hanging out with her big cousins, and the lego table was a big hit with them all. Ella slept through the fair, and took a short walk with mommy when we got home. Poor Ella misses all of the action because she is always sleeping. After nap, we went to meet Poppy Hal at his beach club, and Hannah had a great time watching the kite boarders, playing in the surf, searching for shells, swimming in the pool with daddy and building in the sand.
