Christmas in Florida - Part 5

We hit up the zoo (thanks to Grandpa) and enjoyed watching the animals. Especially the monkeys of course.

You can't really see the animal to well in the background, but it's a capibara (sp?). Greg used to eat them on his mission. Tasty.

Giraffe feeding time! We were in luck. Aimee wasn't too interested. She was really tired and cranky.

The most dangerous animal of all: the Mullet! This dude had a massive one. Seriously, I have not seen so many candidates for What Not to Wear in one place in all my life.

Why not a few more beach pictures?

Christmas in Florida - Part 3

Ahh... Christmas morning. I didn't post a ton of these, mostly because everyone looks really tired - with their eyes half shut. 

Aimee enjoying the festivities. 

Me, Aimee, Steph, and my mom. You can't tell we're all related can you? I hope I have inherited my mom's anti-aging genes!

Christmas in Florida - Part 2

Christmas in Florida means you get to spend some time at the beach. We went to Cocoa Beach with my sister Steph. It was pretty ghetto - but offered some good photo ops. In fact, there is a restaurant on the pier (it ain't no Ruby's!), but they charge you a dollar per person to walk to the end of the pier. Lame. So we skipped that part.
They did have this surf board-in-a-wave thing you could take pictures in (below). 
Greg took the opportunity to toss Aimee in the air while we tried to catch a good picture. The one I posted is one of my favs.

Now when your child asks, "Where do babies come from?" You can tell them they come from heaven, and show them this picture.

Aimee was reunited with the Baybas:

Mirror time with Stephanie is always fun

The pool - no it's not heated so we stayed out of it, but it's nice to look at.

Pre-Christmas

Here are some pictures of our pre-Christmas present opening. 

Even the kitty liked the presents.

Steph and Michael joined in the festivities. 

Caught red-handed.

She was really more interested in the wrapping paper.

M.I.A.

Ok, I need to do my blogging duties that's for sure. To our credit though, we've been busy AND out of town. So first things first - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We flew to Florida and spent Christmas with my side of the family this year. The weather was so perfect the whole time. It was in the high 70's/ low 80/s everyday. I was so depressed as we flew over the bleak and dismal Wasatch mountain range on the way home. I really liked all that sunshine. I think Aimee did too. 

More importantly though, I got to see my family (minus my brother on a mission). I haven't seen them since Aimee was just tiny. It was really fun for them to play with Aimee too. And I really liked having muliple sets of hands eager to take her at any moment. Greg and I even managed to have a date night. I was sad to leave! I'll post some pics of our trip in a new post.
