A White (Sandy) Christmas

We spent Christmas in St. Petersburg, Florida, with Glenda's family. Oliver's dressed up for a Christmas Eve party. Alhough you can't tell from his Santa outfit, we were enjoying 80 degree weather. Quite a change from the chilly northeast. :)



Oli's cheeks, as you can probably tell, are GROWING. He's a hefty little guy who loves to smile, squeal, and squirm with laughter.

Hard to believe this was the day after Christmas. No snow, but white (and sandy) nonetheless.

I love this picture of Glenda and Oli - the waves, the ocean breeze, and Oli laughing in the warm sun.  It was a beautiful day.

Thanks, Jasmin, for this picture. You made this Christmas special.

It was fun watching Oli enjoy the beach for the first time.

Check out Oli's beach figure - three love handles and no six pack. People tell us he looks like he hasn't missed a meal. Yet the little guy still got the attention of all the ladies. Lucky man. :)

In case you don't remember, this was Oli in the same hat four months ago.  What a difference! As you can see, the hat's become a snug looking helmet-type-thing.  Notice how much looser the chin strap was.  There's a reason we call him "gordito" (i.e., "little chubster").  

Grandma and Grandpa Hayden sent a new hat just in time!  Thanks for the Christmas gift! We love it.  Bula bula bula!
