Home for the Holidays

The magazines on Air Panama are super interesting

The following two pictures sum up the flights: "Get out of my personal space", followed seconds later by "I just love you!"

Leaving hotel to catch our middle of the night flight from Panama City to FL, tired but excited!

Arrival in the USA!
First Stop:  Dunkin Donuts 

Nothing bonds cousins together faster
 than a love of candy. 

Besties!

. . . sort of

That's the best my family could give.  Not exactly Christmas picture gold.
However, we can see the start of the bump that will be making us a family of five in the New Year!

Woody just loves his cousins, and they love him.  It just warmed my heart hearing them talk about everything and nothing, laughing and playing as if they had not just been apart for a year and a half.  

Publix:
Where shopping is an absolute organic pleasure

Con and Wood man out on a boys surf morning

Thanksgiving at Oma's House

Almost Conor's entire family gathered to celebrate and give thanks 

Jer and Pat bought their Christmas Tree at a fun place that made fake snow out of bubbles.  These Floridians/Panamanians thought it was awesome!

When prompted by the big man in red, Woody politely asked for "a Christmas Tree for Christmas."  . . . um, done buddy, you helped pick it out already.  

Just perfect lighting, showcasing our little angel

I can hardly stand the
 cuteness of the miniature wet suit.  

The bench we placed in the botanical gardens of FIT in honor of my brother.  We miss you every single day, Michael.  

Our house sitters in Panama sent us this picture.  We will have a slightly different view from our porch when we return!

Seeing some movies in the
theater while in the USA

This little adorable elf was all about the Christmas spirit.  Just riding around in the car, elf hat on while quietly reading a Christmas book, happy as can be.  

Meeting some friends in
St. Augustine for the weekend

Woody and all his gal pals

almost a whole adult shot

After almost 2 months being with family and friends we were headed back to Panama.  

It was a long travel day

Happy to be Home
