Strawberry Fields

Today we went strawberry picking in West Delray. The farm had many different vegetables. We toured the farm on a tractor/hay ride, the kids had a blast. We saw tomatoes, corn, cabbage, and broccoli plants along with a couple of good old Florida Alligators! The kids all went strawberry picking/eating, we had lots if fun and ended the day with a picnic lunch and fresh squeezed lemonade.

This one looks just ripe!

Our biggest play date yet!

Over winter break I had several of my teacher friends and kids over along with our BFFs Callie and Coleman. There were eight kids, they had a blast and played so nicely together. We usually do girls night every month, but it was so nice to get all the kids together.

Christmas 2012

A little late on the blog but a few pictures to remember Declan's 2nd Christmas. Declan had lots of gifts to open thanks to friends and family. I decided about 4 days out to let him open a gift each day. I thought it would be nice to let him enjoy and have time to spend on each present. This worked out great, he still had several to open Christmas morning and even then it was tough getting him to open 5 that morning. He would get distracted and didn't get the excitement of opening gifts yet, next year will surely be different. We had a wonderful day! Played all morning, Skyped Ireland, napped and then went to grammy's for dinner.
