Locks of Love

A few weekends ago, I finally went and got my hair cut. I needed a minimum of 10 inches in a ponytail in order to donate the hair to Locks of Love. Dave went with me for support and I got my hair chopped off. Ok, so its not super short...but its short for me!

Visiting with Friends

It's great getting to all go "home" and catch up with friends when we're all together for a few days. Here are some pictures from over Christmas Break -

Aidan's Baptism

Congrats, Maria and Carlos!

Visiting with Amanda, Peyton, Melissa, Hunter, and Cathy (Chuck also).

It's too bad Lauren couldn't make it!

Dinner with some of the girls and their hubbies.

Andrea being sweet!

Happy 2009!!!

My mom had some gift certificates for The Cheesecake Factory, so we headed over to City Place for a New Years Eve dinner together.

It was the last night where they had the nightly snow falls and we were just in time to catch the 6:30 flurries and the fountain show.

Not too bad...a 45 minute to an hour wait. Bad though...having one of the slowest and most unattentive waitresses EVER.

The food was good and company was great though! Dave and Dah Jeh Jeh, you guys were missed!!! The Cheesecake Factory, as their slogan says, really is a place that has "something for everyone".

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

More Holiday Fun

With not much planned in between Christmas and New Years, we found a few things to do!

- We went and saw the Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

- Dave and I met up with Goo Ma, Katie and Dah Jeh Jeh in Lantana at the Dune Deck Cafe to get breakfast on the beach

- We coarsely ground Columbian coffee beans at Whole Foods and used a french press

- We checked out a local art museum, the Norton Museum of Art and saw their Modern Chinese Art exhibit

- We took a drive along Flagler to see what has changed since we went to elementary school down there

- I had to have my car towed after the starter gave out :( At least it got me to the driveway before it decided to not start up again! :)

Wishing Everyone a Very Merry Christmas!

Our Christmas was pretty low key for us this year. We didn't have any trips planned or any outings to go on...well Dah Jeh Jeh excluded!

Its alright though. We still got together and had fun spending time with each other (even though my parents were sick for most of it).

The day of Christmas Eve, Dave and I went over to Goo Ma's house to pick her up to get some coffee. Not sure, but we decided to get some donuts with our coffee and thought that Dunkin' Donuts would fit the bill nicely. Who knew that Dunkin' Donuts would be OUT OF DONUTS at 3pm. It wasn't just a Christmas Eve thing either...they weren't closing until 9pm and it wasn't even just that one shop. We went to 2 and I called 4! In the end, we made it to one of the shops and got 35 chocolate munchin holes, 1 plain stick and 3 coffees.

We then spent Christmas Eve at our house playing Mah Jong and having some beef noodle soup. Katie and I ended up breaking even in Mah Jong while my mom and Goo Ma were +/- 50cents.

Christmas morning was spent cooking the goose, making stuffing, gravy, bread pudding and sweet potato casserole to bring over to Goo Ma's house for Christmas. As always, we had too much food :)

While the food was cooking, we opened up some presents.

Next stop, Goo Ma's house for a great Christmas meal, some more present opening and some birthday celebrating for my mom.

Having too much to eat can only lead to one thing...

Hope everyone had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!
