Santa Visits our Neighborhood

We all walked over while the girls ran across the dark golf course to find the brightest house around. The one with Santa and his sleigh. Santa visits our neighborhood every year. Mia wasn't afraid at all.

Jaime and Aaron - Party and Engagement

Pretty ring

Aaron proposed in his ugly tiger sweater.

Finally, a few pictures from Jaime's party. There were a lot more people there who don't show up in the pictures (including me). It ended in a proposal on one knee which I regretfully missed. But they are very happy.

Jaime, Aaron and kids at the beach

I love this picture of Jaime. She is getting pretty good.

Makes me cold to look at this

********

I am hoping someone has pictures of the Christmas party at Aaron and Jaime's last week. I can't believe I forgot my camera. Some of the highlights were the ugly sweater contest. (I think Mark won with the Mexican serape.) Irma and Mark gave Mia a Cinderella dress which she insisted on wearing for the whole party (and for the whole night and the next day from what I hear). Everyone brought joke Christmas presents except for Jonah who got real ones since he was leaving for Tennessee the next day to spend Christmas with his dad. Jonah got a cell phone! Jaime has a beautiful new engagement ring but I was upset when I heard Aaron proposed (again) to her at the party after I left. I know I left early but I will never let them live that down. Anyway, since I don't have pictures of the party, here are some cute pictures of them and their friends at the beach nearby. It was warm that day, but MUCH too cold today to be running in the water with hardly any clothes on. Hard to believe that was just a little more than a week ago. That is Florida in December.
