Coast for the Holidays

The beach is my happy place. Every time I cross over the bridge, I sigh and smile.  It sounds SO cliche, but it is true.  I love being down there.  And being down there with family is even better!

It was cold when we woke up Friday morning, but the sun was shining and we were outside soaking it up! First up was a trip to the "pirate house" so Andy could check and see who was there..... this time he saw Tinkerbell AND Captain Hook- it was exciting. (the pirate house is the little security stand/house at the entrance of the neighborhood-- Andy is obsessed with visiting it).

We headed out to the "CA-zeebo" to see what we could see-- got a cute picture of CB and Cal...

We continued our ride until the boys decided they wanted to run.  There were no cars down there, so they ran ahead of the cart and we paced ourselves behind them.

Then there were some football games on so these three pulled up a seat to watch outside:

As we were cooking dinner that night, the sunset was amazing.  I grabbed some people and we ran over to the gazebo to check it out.  It was truly stunning!

I came back and sipped on some wine and loved on my pup-- who flat wore himself out every day! He ran and swam and ran some more-- the dog went until his legs wouldn't go any more! He was SO well behaved with all of that puppy energy out!

For Christmas, the boys got mufflers for their bikes as well as some lights for their wheels

Tommy got lots of love from these two....

Seriously, Bruce played so so hard the whole time. He was clamming at one point...nonstop fun for him!

CB let some exercises outside with the boys--- then they went on a job together!

Andy did some swinging...

And the girls did some paddle boarding!

On another golf cart ride, we found a random A sticking out of the ground.   Random, but cute for a picture with my little A boy.

Then, the girls got to go for a walk-- on the beach! It was amazing out!

The sun was beautiful and the beach was just perfect-- so we took some jumping pictures!

This one is CB:

This one is me:

This is Tricia:

And Mimi didn't want to jump so she raised a leg!

Eddie took a boat ride with Cal.....

And the plaid girls took a picture together...

Then we worked on a Williamson family New Year's Card...

And the siblings...

That night, Andy wanted to wear the same shirt as Tommy to bed.  We took a picture of the twins...

My sleepy pup got in my lap while I was puzzling....

Safe to say this is Bruce's happy place too!!!

SUCH a fun weekend with family!!!!!
