Well, the Holidays are over. We got home yesterday afternoon and I have now finished my 10th load of laundry. We had quite a time this year. We are so sad that the week is over.
After a 16 hour car ride in each direction (6 hours on one day, 10 the next - then reversed on the return trip), we are exhausted. Not quite sure that MIke or I really got any sort of break, but nonetheless, who can complain when you are in a place as fantastic as we were. St. George Island is void of all the typical beach propaganda...no neon signs or crowded beaches. In fact, it almost seemed as though we were the only ones on the island! Way to go Opa for picking a location so pristine and magical!
The babies did phenominally...on both the car rides and all week long. They slept wonderfully, and they sure do love the beach! Ella simply could not eat enough sand (yep - straight in the mouth) and Aidan spent his time gathering as much sand as he could all around him. It was such a thrill to put their feet in the sand and surf for the first time (though the water was a bit chilly)!
Highlights of the week include:
- Both Ella and Aidan learned to feed themselves finger foods
- Both Ella and Aidan managed their sippy cups alone for the first time
- Both Ella and Aidan LOVE to eat lemons!! (pictures to come later)
- Having the whole family together in a wonderful location one last time before the babies gain the understanding of the concept of presents!!
The pictures above are snippets from our week, including the sunset after a wonderful Christmas Day.
