day 1 in florida - christmas day...

we started christmas morning off with a few presents.
max got a cool new winter hat and a couple of books from great aunt di.
and also a collectable teddy bear from great gramps.

max had some wrestle time with santa.

and then it was bath time!

a merry christmas smooch from my husband!

max was trying out his new sandals...his first pair of flip-flops!
we then hit the road and headed to make a visit to the pier.
we got to take max on his first ride in a convertable.

here is the first of many "finger in the nose" pictures.

mommy and max!

dancing to the music.

it was pretty windy and i didn't have a hat so i tried putting a pair of his pants on his head.

he wasn't a fan.

cool dude.

what a little ham!

family shot in front of the ocean.

max and grampa.

surprisingly he wasn't a fan of the sand.

i think i might have put him down too quickly and he got freaked out.

i was trying to coax him to give it another chance.

a couple of handsome boys on the beach!

i love this picture.

on the run!

goofball! he realized i was leaning over the railing to try to take his pictures and this was his response!

what a nice way to spend a part of our christmas day!
