33* out, YUCK!

I got to turn on my heated seats today that makes like 4 times since we've moved, it's pretty stinkn' cold! But on top of that I brought my pretty new camera to work with me this morning so I could show you what we've been up to for the past couple weeks. Of course the photos would start on Christmas since that is when I opened it :)

We HAD to go to the beach Christmas afternoon, just to say we did, the kids had a hard time keeping their eyes open for the picture this was the best we got. What's that big gold ball in the sky?

Typical Patterson picture.

The "big tree" on the island. This picture doesn't do the bigness justice.

CityPlace decorations. We went to Il Bellagio for our anniversary dinner and sat right by the tree. This is one of my favorite places to go, it is just so Florida and it is fun to watch people. There were so many tourists in town over the break, it was crazy, but glad we got to spend Christmas at home this year and attend our church service, see our tree on Christmas morning, it was those little things that made this year special. I thought it would be hard without the cold, but shockingly enough it is something I can do without.

Once the Hills got here the highlight of that visit had to be sailing. We went again with Captain Mike. The seas were much rougher this time, but it was so much fun.Tiny, before he turned the color of mom's shirtLike my new bracelet?It was worth this view over Palm Beach!
