Once Upon a Holiday

Hey, it’s February! What better time than now for a December holiday post?!

This past holiday season will forever be remembered, by me, as “The Holiday Season That Got Away.”  At the risk of sounding completely spoiled, going to Paris and London (for a wonderful chance to see friends and celebrate) completely threw me off schedule.

Take a look at the calendar.  We’re well into 2013 and I am just now sharing holiday related pictures!

Enough whining….

because we honestly had a very nice holiday spent with our family in warm, sunny Florida. I always think I’m fine with moving away from Florida to somewhere with actual seasons, and then Florida goes and does this:

I told my parents I will always come visit them so long as they always live in Florida!

Spending time with family warmed my heart.  These two little girls sure do make my heart dance!  Just look at them…

My nieces loves their Aunt Vicki Cool Dude (especially since I brought all that yummy puppy chow to sneak eat)!  My eldest niece always makes me laugh.

 We had a nice time with my family in warmer weather.

Right now I find myself wishing for snow and simultaneously wishing for Florida’s “winter’!

    So gorgeous. I would never want to live in Florida, humidity is just not my thing. However, I do love visiting. And right now I’m longing for some Florida sun. Stupid winter.

      Yeah 23 years in Florida was plenty for me. I loved to visit, though!! If I could bottle and send you that sunshine, I would :)

    Ah man, I could go for some Florida sunshine and heat right about now! I guess I’ll just have to load up on citrus fruit and be there in spirit during this latest MN cold snap. Sounds like you had a great vacation. Your nieces are adorable!

    I hope your parents never leave Florida, either. I hope they stay forever. Specifically, I hope they stay in Winter Park. More specifically, I hope they stay in the same town I’m in. Because it means I have a good chance of seeing you once a year, and that makes me happy. (Even though we missed this year, but I caught you on your summer break! yay!)

      Agreed, & I had the bonus of seeing you up in DC in November! This was a great Ali-Vicki visit year. Next visit – your wedding!!!!!!

    Aw a Florida Christmas… Arizona is pretty warm during the holidays, but certainly not that warm!
