Extreme Christmas House

Last week, Declan's Grammy and I took him to a house decorated with over 175,000 lights! It takes the owners 3 months to put them up, they are displayed for a month, and 3 months to take down. It is quite a site. Declan loved looking at all the decorations, and enjoyed the Christmas Carolers so much he was grooving to the melody.

Red Neck Water Park

Declan went to Coleman's for water play and painting. The boys had lots of fun! Declan is little hesitant about the hose spray, but it didn't stop him from having a blast.

Yee-haw, Preston Turns 2!

Preston turned two and celebrated at Davie Ranch. There were pony rides, face painting, petting zoo and play area to romp around on. The festivities were fabulous! And the birthday boy made a grand entrance on a pony for his special song. Declan enjoyed watching the horses and made friends with the enormous bunny rabbit. It was quite the hoedown!

Neeeigh!

Christmas at LBTS

Lauderdale By The Sea had their Tree Lighting last night. Donal and I took Declan to the festivities. We saw Santa, horses on the beach, a big red fire truck, and a band. We spent a long while with the horses but his favorite part was dancing to the music. It was a beautiful breezy night and Declan wasn't happy when it had to come to an end.

Tis The Season

We have been getting in the Christmas spirit. Shortly after Thanksgiving, I'm pretty sure it was still November, Donal and Declan surprised mommy with a Christmas tree. It smells so good, hopefully it will stay green until Christmas! The first day we hung the ornaments Declan thought the ball ornaments were apples and was trying to take a bite out of them, it was hilarious! Now he just likes to touch them but he has been gentle so no messes yet. Declan decorated his own Christmas tree that he has in his play area, he did a fantastic job!  A few times a week we go driving around the neighborhood looking at all the lights, Declan has really enjoyed it.

lots of room for presents!
