Christmas Came Early for the Zeds

Since we're going to be gone over Christmas, we let them have their presents early. This year was easy...the girls got bikes and Ollie got a little riding toy. The girls can't wait to take the training wheels off and really learn how to ride, but we're going to wait until we have a better place to practice. The only smooth surface here is the driveway which is sloped....If we get the house, we'll have a sidewalk and there's a park a block away!!

Rainy Day Frivolities

The Tree Fort (their favorite hangout)

Jupiter Beach

We spent Thanksgiving in a condo at Jupiter Beach. It was a beautifully lazy time....

Thanksgiving Dinner

We were going to throw tradition out the window this year and make sushi for Thanksgiving, but instead we decided to do the traditional meal with a healthy twist.

I was determined to see the sunrise while we were there, I finally got to see it on the last morning....the morning before, we all ran to the beach and pretty much missed it. (They sky was still a little pink, though...) No one woke up with me the last morning and I didn't make it down to the beach because, believe it or not, it was COLD!
Christmas Cookies....mmmmmm

The Zeds go Golfing

Oliver fit the part with his Pudge-inspired and Pudge-purchased look....And this is what he had on BEFORE we knew that Stephen had planned to take us golfing that night....=) He loved it more than any of us (even though I was the only one with a hole-in-one, thank you very much...=)). He asked to go "jhalfing" as soon as he woke up the next morning. He really does seem to take after his Pudgeman. ;)
