Christmas Preparation

I try to keep the really "Christmas-y" decorations until after V's birthday to allow some separation between the two important days. Today was "gingerbread" (graham cracker) house and tree decorating day!

Lion Country Safari had a promotion for government workers that gave us a good deal on their two parks. But we determined even at full price, it would be worth it.

FOP Christmas Party 2010

A few people braved the winter storm to attend the annual FOP Childrens' Christmas Party.

Victoria spent more time telling Santa what she got for her birthday, and when he asked what she wanted for Christmas, she couldn't think of anything to tell him!

Happy Birthday, Miss V!!!

‎5 years ago, my amazing daughter made a sudden entrance into the world more than two months before we expected her. The first days and months brought so much anxiety/uncertainty/fear. Since then, I've been blessed with 5 years of love, pride and joy. Happy birthday to my sweet little girl.
