Our Green and White Christmas

We got to experience two different climates over Christmas! We first celebrated at home a few days early where it was clear and sunny... So we had a Florida Green Christmas. Then we left town and went to Georgia to spend Christmas with our friends Matt, Dianne and their family. We were all so surprised on Christmas Eve when it started to snow! We were able to have a White Christmas. It was so exiting!
Christmas was so precious this year! Having Baby Tom around makes the holidays even more special. Taking him shopping with me was fun for us both; I like the Christmasy feel of holiday shopping and he LOVED all the sparkly lights and adoring people that fuss over him. I even took him to get his picture taken with Santa and he loved Santa too. The only thing Baby T doesn't love is dressing rooms. Whenever I go in to try something on he kicks it up to a high gear protest... even if he's sleeping when I go inside he will be awake before I have the first item on... it's like he can hear every zip and snap (but he sleeps soundly when I vacuum) haha
Oh and might I also mention that Baby T dislikes blogging.... as I have not posted for awhile.
So here are the pics taken during our Green and White Christmas...

Cuuute little hand! It took us 10 tries to make this ornament.
