It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

...but it sure doesn't feel like it.  Today, it was about 75 degrees.  The news said we would see record breaking highs in the low 80's by the end of the week.  But, people still put up Christmas Lights and hung decorations from Palm Trees in their yards!  Sometimes I take Mason and put her in the freezer for a little while just so she knows what Christmas is suppose to feel like.  We have had some really busy days as we passed through Thanksgiving and into the month of December.  We have had decorations to put up, shopping to do (though not much of it), and Christmas parties to attend.  Mason is currently on a diet of candy canes, cake, coke, and juice.  It really seems to be working for her.  We recently went out to the beach and made photos for our Christmas Cards.  For those of you who do not receive a card from us, I have included a picture below which is very similar to the one on the front of our card.  Mason has settled on requesting a Bicycle, two DVD's (she calls them CD's), a Dora Camera, and roller skates.  She has not been to see Santa yet but she does have an "elf on the shelf" (see elfontheshelf.com).  We plan to see Santa this coming weekend.  Mason claims she is going to sing "I Wannna Hippopotamus For Christmas" to Santa.  We will see about that! 



Mason said Santa should be able to see our house from the air!!!


Mason got to visit Elf Land.  This is the front door of one of their homes!


Mason and Desiray got to experience Ice Skating for the 1st time.  Mason was very skeptical at first but after a few minutes and a lot of persuasion by Desiray, she finally decided to stay out.  Oh... and yes, Florida does have an outdoor skating ring.  Go Figure!


This is one of the many photos I took for our Christmas Cards.  This particular photo came in a close second for the card photo.
