We spent an afternoon at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens in Coral Gables-
it is a beautiful gardens and currently has the largest Chihuly art exhibition!

fish story

Chris had the opportunity to go on a deep sea fishing charter.

It was his first time to go salt water fishing and he had alot of fun!

They caught quite a few fish, and he came home with a few bags of cut and cleaned fish.  He also caught the biggest catch of the day- a 45 pound Cobia!

season's greetings

Abigail's milkweed plant flowered, 

had butterfly eggs under the leaves 
and now monarch caterpillars!

December dates

Hadassah and Mommy craft date

We started our date by taking silly selfies together!  Then we went to a craft store to pick out a fun project.  Hadassah very quickly saw a pearler bead set (something Corban has been having fun doing and she wanted to be like him!).  We came home and she chose a butterfly pattern for us to make matching necklaces.  Hadassah chose the colors and sorted the colors, but the beads were so tiny I did the pattern.  

 

We had a great time and the necklaces turned out pretty!

Corban and Daddy went on their boys trip to IN

Abigail and Daddy book store date

kisses........wipe them off!

Abigail picked a travel wipe-off book (with markers and sticker decals)!











Mommy and Daddy and the children have all loved the date jar this year!  
We have so much fun on our dates and love that intentional one-on-one time!
