Stella in the sunshine state

Last weekend we flew to Florida so that Stella could meet some of the Italian side of her family. She met her great-aunt Mary Jane, her great-grandma Crazy Jean (as we like to call her) and her great-uncle John.
Kiddo was funny on the plane, blowing raspberries as everyone exited.

We dipped her toes in the ocean - she loved all the new sensations and watching the birds. Water was cold and surprising for her.

We were spoiled rotten this trip - early Christmas and my birthday.

Mary Jane's house was done up so beautifully for the holiday - we all got into the spirit.
I love this picture because it shows just how crazy about each other these two were. Stella loves necklaces and Crazy Jean had lots for her to play with. I need to figure out how to turn off the flash but still keep the shutter speed up. I hate using the flash when there is such warm lighting.

We were treated to Uncle John's absolutely delicious food, it was all so yummy. And Aunt Mary Jane is the most gracious hostess - we were so comfortable during our stay. We came home with all kinds of treasures - and practically a new wardrobe for baby girl. It was a GREAT trip.

Next we will hopefully see a few Floridians in Dallas - we can't wait!
