A day at the beach...

That's right, we are at the beach in Jan. I guess that is why some people love living in Florida. We had a really good time and Gracie even went in the water a little bit. It was a little cold, so once she fell down in it she was pretty much done. It was very fun and relaxing though, and a beautiful day together before Stuart left for Mississippi.

Gracie in her Christmas dress, very cute of course. I actually bought this last year so I was so lucky she still fit in it. She just got these Elmo slippers (thank you after holiday clearance!) and I thought they were pretty funny. She says Elmo almost the same as she says momma, so you really have to listen or it is confusing.

Late Disney pics

Gracie does not like seeing the characters up close, even when it is a dog like Pluto.

We had to wake Gracie up to get this shot, but it was a pretty night with the castle all lite up for Christmas. We really aren't obsessed with Disneyworld, or rich, Stuart works here part time and gets us in for free, so why not do something as a family for free.

It's my birthday month, so that is why the backround is so festive. And to anyone else that has a birthday this month, then Happy Birthday to you as well...it's a good month to celebrate! My husband will miss my birthday this year, but this is the third year in a row so I guess it is now a tradition with us. But I am not complaining because he will be working and we are so thankful for that right now. Oh and Happy New Year to all, I hope this year is great for everyone!
