Christmas in Florida


Well, it's March, so about time to post Christmas pictures.  Going through these photos made me remember how much fun we had!

Christmas morning--ready to check out our stockings.

If you know Alice, you know she is stubborn.  She REALLY wanted to go swimming...so, we let her:)

Doesn't Quincy look cute with his little bow tie?

Tur Duc Hen for Christmas dinner.  What is Tur Duc Hen, you ask?  It's a deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck stuffed into a partially deboned turkey with andoullie sausage stuffing.


 
 Can't go to Gainesville without visiting Lake Alice.

The girls were a little nervous having their backs to the gator.


Myra was feeling left out, so we went to my old elementary--Myra Terwilliger Elementary.

Quincy (and the rest of us) had fun visiting Grandma Arlene.


Chowing down on David's BBQ--can't beat it.

Quincy LOVED the ribs.

We also took the girls to a state park that had a little nature center.  It was fun to
watch the turtles try to get out of their box.

This is a picture of a lizard right before it jumped on Alice's face.

 Knees--one of Alice's spelling words this week:)

We found Alice's Restaurant on the way back from the state park.  It was cash only, so Bruce had to go search for an ATM.  I was a little worried it wouldn't be worth the hassle, but it was really really yummy home cooked southern food.  I think it will definitely make our 'must do every time we visit Gainesville' list.

We also visited Dudley Farm.  Alice was the photographer here--she's been a little obsessed with the idea of people who are married kissing on the lips...

Low Country Boil---oh baby baby!

John and Samantha time...lots of it.  It was like we didn't have kids there for awhile.

We spent three or four evenings around the fire--the girls thought it was so great.  
It was hard to contain their excitement.

Whoops...the bottom part was good.

A trip around the neighborhood with Pepaw.

No hills in Florida--awesome!


The kids gave Pepaw moral support as he wired the fireworks.
