 Getting our Christmas tree

 Naomi got to put the star on this year

 This is the tree we found

 Ava and Dad cutting it down

 Our wagon ran our Christmas tree into a tree and broke the wagon and a fee limbs off the tree.  Fortunately no humans were harmed in the process. 

 Ava was upset and ran to her room and taped this note on the door with a picture of a crying person on it.

 We went out to eat at Yum, it was a great place to eat and they were celebrating their 7th year of being open and it just happened to be Ava's 7 year old birthday.  The nice waitress gave Ava the balloons.  I can't believe she is 7

 Our neighboor had a Birthday party this Saturday and they had facepainting.

 BEACH TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Naomi turned 4 the day we left for Florida.  She told me it was the best birthday she ever had.

 Looking over their score of shells.

 Ava learning how to dive right in front of a no diving sign. Classic

 this little octopus crawled out of a shell Karl had and he was sitting on our towel. Freaked me out

 Olive and Ava playing shark and mermaid

 Lucy snuggling with Papa

 all the girlies sitting on Papa

 Dolphins following our boat.  They were doing flips and tricks in the wake of the motor.  The girls loved it.  Sometimes there were up to four jumping at the same time.
