These last two days have been really amazing. It started snowing Tuesday afternoon, then it REALLY came down earlier that night (CNN News called it "blizzard like condition"). Then today we've had a little bit more. I LOVE playing in the snow. With my snow gear on, the cold doesn't even phase me. We made a snow person, snow balls, and even snow angels.
Well long story short, on Sunday Abuelita, Uncle, Mom, Dad, and I drove to Altanta...when Ali and UT where leaving to head back to Lake City, UT asked Mama: "Why don't you come on down with us and I'll drive you back next weekend?" Despite not having any clothes or anything with us...we went :-) It was a week of a lot of fun! We hung out at Abuelita's house, went to the Gainesville mall, watched KungFu
Panda, had a picnic, went on a hike, walked around St. Augustine, had a play date with Gabby, had a milkshake and Desoto's.....and lot's more! Then it was time to come back home; and now Uncle Tony has left too. Thanks UT and Ali for a great time.
Abuelita and Uncle Tony drove up from Florida to visit a couple weekends ago. It was great. On Saturday we went to feed the ducks and then went on an Asheville "tienda" tour which ended when we finally found a pananeria (I don't think I spelled that right). I was super tired by then, but mom and uncle where so ecstatic about their find that I was too. Fun times! 
This year we spent Christmas at Maw's farm. My Mamaw, Grandpa Steve, and Uncle Keith all traveled up from Boca Raton, Fl., and my Aunt Elizabeth and Russ came all the way down from Canada. We all had such a great time. Christmas Eve included a surprise visit from Santa (which I wasn't so sure about). Then mom, dad, and I went to midnight mass. We came home, went to sleep, and when I woke up the next morning...Santa had come. I got a lot of great stuff! Thanks everyone. We took lots of pictures, so here is a link to them.
Well what can I say about hiking Graveyard Fields???....It was VERY COLD!! This wasn't the most fun hike I've been on. In fact, I barely hiked at all. I was so cold and tired. But, it was fun having Aunt Elizabeth and Russ on the hike with us. We got to do some "ice skating" on the trail.
My schools holiday party was on Saturday and mama put us down to bring stuffing. When I heard what he was doing in the kitchen I just had to help. It was a lot of fun too.
"Oh Christmas tree...Oh Christmas tree..."
Well we are back home. We've had a very busy and funfilled week and a couple of days. Last Saturday was the Holiday Parade here in Asheville (it involved 35 degree weather, but it was GREAT). After that we left for Greenville where Mama and I boarded a plane for Tampa (Clearwater really). We stayed with my Uncle Tony at his apartment there and then helped him move out on Tuesday morning. We packed the car full and drove to Abuelita's house. Daddy drove down and got there on Thanksgiving morning. We all stuffed ourselves full of DE-licious food for dinner and then relaxed. Friday we hung out in Gainesville and Saturday we met up with Amie and Justin for breakfast, went to the Santa Fe Comm. College teaching zoo, had dinner with Dr. Judi and then went to downtown for the Festival of Lights. Sunday morning we packed up (in the pouring rain) and drove back home. We all had a wonderful time and now..."it's back to the real world" (as my Uncle Tony would say). And ofcourse, this wouldn't be a complete posting without a link to more pictures on Shutterfly (thanks to camara happy mommy).
