Time to wrap it up...

Our family meal at Bonefish when my parents were in Florida...

So 2010 is officially over and here are the last few pictures and excitements from our trip home in Bama. The January "blues" are about to set in now that our holidays are over, but hopefully they won't be too depressing. We have so many fun things ahead of us that just getting back into our daily routine will be good for us. So I was HORRIBLE with picture taking the last few days in Bama. Not sure why, but we were just enjoying relaxing and doing whatever we wanted. Here is what has happened:

** Tuesday night we went to eat at my MOST FAVORITE place ever for my birthday. I had some yummy tuna, strawberry salad, and several desserts

** Wednesday was my birthday, Dec. 29th. WOW, the big 3-2. How has that happened?? I enjoyed the day with a good run. Then all my grandparents and my uncle (Dad's brother) came over for dinner at mom and dad's. It was so good to see them and let Charlee Kate show off all her tricks!

** Thursday.... Jeremy and I took off for Atlanta. Mom and dad had Charlee Kate and we took 2 days to go shopping and out to eat for my birthday. It was so odd being able to shop at ALL MY FAVORITE stores and never have to look at my watch. I found some good deals and had fun. Jeremy is always a great partner to shop with! He is so good to help me and just do whatever. That night we had a yummy dinner at Ruth Chris.

** Friday.... we shopped more and more in Atlanta then met up with our high school friends for a very late lunch. We love seeing them and this was our first time to meet their little 2 year old. We love to talk about the past and all our fun we have had together. We haven't seen them for 2 years, yet we pick up like we saw them yesterday. Those are true friends!!!

** For New Years Eve, we planned to stay in Atlanta, but then at the last minute drove back to Birmingham. We went to see Lindsay, Todd, and Mary Florence. Boy do I miss them!!! It was way to short, but we got to spend some time with them. Then off to hang out with Jennifer and Michael. We laughed, laughed, and laughed more. It was great

** New Years Day: Watched an AWESOME Bama game with my parents, played, low key, then off to my aunt's to eat a great New Years Day meal with all my cousins, grandparents, and family. Then mom and I found a great deal on a new 9 foot Christmas tree. Now we have to figure out how to get it to Tampa, but I have 11 months before I need it.

** Sunday: just relaxed with our family. Had to pack up for Florida and figure out how to get home with all the stuff. Oh... and a tan! I do love that mom can spray me!

**Monday...we made it back home safely and had the best flight! CK was in the best mood and just loved to sing to everyone. Have I mentioned how much she loves to sing? She has done this since birth, but sings songs you recognize now. Not sure where this talent comes from, LOL

Now it is time to get back into a routine. This was probably one of the best Christmas's I have ever had! I wish K&K and the kids would have been here with us, but I know they were loving Pittsburgh cold weather. I hate to see this time of the year end, but it is time for a brand new year and I am looking forward to it! My little "lovey" is getting to be so much fun! I will post a video my mom took with her phone. It is sideways (sorry), but so cute. This was taken when we were in Atlanta. Happy New Year!
