Road Trip!

Ahhh, finally! We got on the road last week Thursday morning to head down towards FL. Neither Felix nor I really knew what to expect, travelling with an 18month old and a dog, but we did it! The DVD player and lots of snacks were definitely the key to our successful trip!

And plenty of people warned us that we would drive each other crazy during the wild ride, but to both of our surprise... we didn't even get into one argument! It was really a nice mini family vacation and such a treat to get to spend so much time together.

(this picture was taken on our day trip to Miami.....I didn't get any pictures on our actual road trip to West Palm, but the car was a bit more crammed with stuff!)


We arrived on Saturday afternoon, just in time to enjoy a nice dinner with the family and celebrate Hanukah. Emma picked up the Hanukah traditions pretty quickly, knowing that the menorah needs candles picked out for it, she even started filling in the words to the Hanukah song, and then really enjoyed opening presents. By the 2nd night, she grabbed everyone's presents saying "open, open".


We had a great time visiting Lauren in Miami for her birthday. I especially enjoyed it....... Emma chased Lauren all over the place and had a blast- and then passed out the minute we got in the car!


Then, we threw a small surprise baby shower for my sister- can't believe we were able to keep it a secret the whole time, but we pulled it off!

And the guest of honor.... due any day now!!!!

I'm so excited we will be here for the birth of our new baby nephew!!!
