T'was the day before Christmas in Florida
T’was the day before Christmas and Florida was cold,
Jeff’s sister Gaye was visiting and she felt quite bold,
So off to the beach we flew through the chill,
And as she entered the water, she felt quite a thrill,
For the water was chilly, down right cold it is true,
But Gaye smiled and laughed as her toes became blue.
“It’s the beach,” she said with a grin on her face,
“I’d rather be here than any other place!”
So, despite the wind, the waves, and the cold water there,
We had fun at the beach as the wind blew our hair.
We waded in the surf and drew pictures in the sand,
Afterwards we headed for the ice cream stand!
Well, actually to COLD STONE for a chilly little snack -
Which we ate in the warmth of the car heading back.

Ummmm...Cookie-making Cousins and the Birthday Girl
After missing Andrew's baptism several years ago, I promised myself that I would never miss another baptism. So, thanks to my generous and wonderful husband, I was able to fly to Utah on December 3rd in order to be there for Cali's baptism on the 10th. In the evening on Monday, December 6th, almost all of the Utah cousins gathered at Cali's house for a cookie-making extravaganza and 8th birthday celebration.
...add frosting, cookies and cousins. It was a fun, noisy, sticky, messy, yummy time!
