Christmas in "sunny" FLA

Here it is, the first day of 2010! We hope this year is full of wonderful things for all our friends and family! We know it will be a great year for the Jacksonville Howard clan with the arrival of Baby Caleb and for the Marymans with the arrival of "Dude Snork." How much fun future family gatherings will be with 6 cousins three years apart! I can hear the chaos now!

Christmas in Florida was wonderful, despite it being not so sunny or warm! We got to see lots of family members we haven't seen in a long while, and Liam got to meet many relatives for the first time: Granny (Geoff's grandmother on his step-dad's side); Papa (Geoff's grandfather on his mother's side); Aunt Pat (Geoff's great-aunt on his mom's side); Uncle Brice and Aunt Bridgette; Uncle Matt, Aunt Laura, and cousins Emilie, Ella, and Lillian. There was lots of good food, and MAN were the presents numerous! It was so fun watching the girls open their gifts--their excitement was palpable and makes Geoff and me really look forward to the Christmases to come with our little man!


Here are some photos of memorable moments: meeting family, the green bean food fight and (above) me with the 4 Howard cousins! We love you all and hope to see you all soon!


Uncle Geoff teaches the twins how to "food fight."
Just look at Matt's face as he spots the fun!
