Florida - Part 1

So - my pics and memories of Florida.

I have been here a few times because my sister lives here with her husband and little girls. But this time, we went for the wedding. That all being done with we were free to shop and eat and sleep and shop and then eat again. Ahhhh that is how life should really be! And money should grow on trees!

My niece Leilani had her 5th birthday while we were there. Her favourite aunty was in charge of the cakes - no one choked so I am guessing they were ok!

While we were in Orlando we just spent our time with my sister and shopped til we dropped and played with the girls. So much fun! I even got to take them and get some family photos done. I think this is my favourite. I crack up everytime I see it. The only person looking is the only male in the shot!

A couple of others - Grandpa and the girls spending time together.

Let's end this Part 1 of Florida on the food shots! We have the Cheesecake Factory and their raspberry chocolate mouse cheesecake......don't do it....... you will want to keep eating and eating!




Then we have the famous Disney caramel apples!

And last but not least - Ruth's Chris....


And there you have it! Stop licking the screen. I know I had to stop myself!
Stay tuned for the next exciting instalment of Florida Part II!

February

Seriously, I am trying to be better! Look, it is only the middle of February and I am blogging.

So Florida - I will blog more about my trip there and my thoughts on all things Florida later (before March hopefully!) but before that, I must share with you some photos of my beautiful nieces!

Why do they have to grow up???

When June comes - these three will be joined by another sibiling! Can't wait to meet her/him.

The Wedding

I cant believe it is all over! Christmas holidays are done. As is the wedding. I will post about the wedding and the vacation after this.

The wedding was beautiful. How did we get so lucky that it was the coldest week in Florida for the longest time. Oh well, at least the sun was shining!!

The reception was held at Ruth's Chris and it was awesome. The wait staff and the food were incredible and I would fly another 20 hours to get back there to have more food! It was that good.

So here are a few of the wedding shots that I took. They had my sister's sister-in-law take the professional shots and she did an awesome job. I just got some "on the sly" shots and here are the results.

So now they are a happily married couple!

2010

Ok, so I really slacked off there for a while but I am back!

So it was Christmas. This year we headed up north in the hopes of sun and relaxation. We didn't get much sun but there was a pool and a beach and gelato - and that was all we needed.

I got to play favourite aunt yet again.

Here are my beautiful Aussie nieces.

But for now - I am off to Florida for my brothers wedding! Stay tuned for some hopefully cool shots of the wedding and my beautiful nieces from Florida!

I hope you all had an awesome Christmas and looking forward to 2010 - I am hoping for big things!!!
