Our "Beach" Christmas

For Christmas this year Stephen and I, along with my parents, Deni and Dave, and my grandmother, Nana, went to Neptune Beach, Florida (near Jacksinville) to spend the holiday with Scott, Carrie, Bella, Bryn, and Brody.  We had so much fun.  We went to a Christmas party, had sword fights,

Stephen beat some locals at ping pong at Pete's Bar, we were introduced to bumper pool, got pedicures,

got ready for our visit from Santa, went shopping for the things that Santa forgot, walked on the Jacksonville Pier, went for a morning run along the beach, saw Bella and Bryn's pink school,

discovered a washed up pelican (Bella is getting a certificate for that find), found a horseshoe crab shell, played football in our Drew Brees jerseys,

put together lots of christmas toys, ate blue chips (zapps potatoe chips covered in melted blue cheese), played hide and seek with the kids over and over, sat in the street drinking beer playing chinese jumprope,

rode the EzyRollers everywhere, and I am sure there is more that I am missing.  Oh yeah and we rode bikes to the bar.  Well Scott and Stephen rode bikes, Carrie and I rode on the handle bars and in the baby seat.
