Christmas Photo Update

Well, we arrived safely and have been having a great time back in Florida for the holidays.

We've been super-busy since we've been here visiting with people, enjoying the warm weather and doing other Christmasy stuff. I've been reading over a lot of your posts but I will probably be a comment slacker until after the new year starts. It's hard to blog while on vacation. I have really just wanted to stay as far away from a computer as possible. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Since I know most of you are busy as well, I figured I would just post pics of the holiday festivities, to save you all a bit of time on reading one of my drawn out, long-ass posts :)

Road trip!

Time to eat again! (Those are our famous Christmas potatoes)

My best friend, Lisa from middle school stopped by to say hi. I hadn't seen her since my wedding over 5 years ago.

The best beer store evah!

Welcome to Florida.

This is what it looked like when we started our 12 mile run on Saturday.

Drinking pitchers at the Sports Page and watching the Eagles.

Lunch today at the Hob Nob. Greasy burgers, fried mushrooms and onion rings. Yum!

So, to summarize. We have basically been eating and drinking all week. Oh, with a hot, sweaty run thrown in. We're spending the day at the beach tomorrow (sorry Ted) including another 9 mile run to work off some of this beer and grub.

I hope you all have been having as much fun are we are.

You mom really goes all out, it looks great. Everyone that walks by or in their house must feel the Christmas spirit.

Glad you guys are enjoying yur trip and the weather too.

I have enjoyed every pictures of it! The "Florida" fireplace gave me one hell of a good laugh. Just open the window to bring in the warm air and turn on the "fireplace" TV. Who knew?

Thanks for blowing warm air to NJ the other day. It did go up to 68 degrees but the wind was so blustery!

It is now in the 40s!

Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

BTW, Have a Happy New Year!

Your 'rents put so much work into the christmas decorations! They are lovely :)

You got some great pics. :) I love it when you can find liquor pre-mixed...in central america they do that all the time and it makes drinking sooo easy :) ha ha.

Jess said...

Great pics! It looks like you're having a fabulous time!

X-Country2 said...

Your parents are adorable. :o) Loved their decorated house too. Enjoy the sunshine.

BeachRunner said...

Your pics are just awesome and tell such a great story. You are having a wonderful time, no doubt. Your pics make me yearn for breakfast at the Hob Nob (how cool and old school does that place look!!), then get a beer at that killer beer store, then check out the decorations at your parents house, and go for a run along the water. Thanks for sharing.
