Happy New Year!

Happy New Year - 2015!  There are quite a few pictures coming at you!  We begin with some randoms from my phone.   This is Vixen who helped us celebrate Christmas this year!

Cousin Oliver also helped us celebrate by joining in the beagle Christmas nap!

We have had some very nice weather in Georgia this winter - unseasonably warm!  Harper and I enjoyed an outside lunch in December at Einstein's.

Finley decorating at the club's Xmas celebration!

We think the Hoscheks should get this next year for Hanukkah!  Matt wants it to be our elf's much older boyfriend!

The girls had a Xmas performance at dance.  Don't worry they did not dance in their boots.

Our arrival on North Redington Beach this December for the big Hoschek/Stuecker/Weinstein/Geren/Liles trip!

First sunset from the penthouse!

Uncle Steve and Harper discussing the beauty of the sunset!

Collecting shells - Amy, Finley, and Uncle Steve, and Grant below!

Harper and Grant are finding treasure!

Maverick is going in - shoes and all!  He really cannot walk on water despite previous predictions from Grandma Susie!

Grandpa Joel and Grandma Liz came up from Sarasota to see us, too!  They got to meet a lot of cousins!

Liz was the winner of the most delicious looking meal at the Conch - our favorite restaurant.  It is within walking distance of condo and has happy hour at lunch time.  

Grandma Susie in a little girl sandwich!

Making gingerbread houses - girls vs. boys!  Uncle Steve won!

Now this is my kind of Christmas - 70 and sunny!

The ocean was chilly but that did not stop the three amigos and Grandma Susie!  Grandma only fell down once!

Maverick decided to bury his cousins and his mama!

Grandpa Steve swimming with all the girls!  

Uncle Steve snuggling with all of the girls!

We went to the aquarium in Clearwater where Hope and Winter from the Dolphin Tale movies live.  The girls wanted to get into the hurricane machine.

Aunt Stephie and Grant thought it looked fun, so in went another $2.

Back at home, Sparkle Bell Cadence started drinking!

Christmas at Casa Weinstein.  The part of Montana is being played by Cousin Oliver.

More fun at the Country Club with Santa and all of our friends from the pool!

Big dance performance!

Back to Florida - pictures from camera!  We had all sunny days, so every day the sunset was awesome!  

Grandma Susie and Monty doing a little bonding!

Grandma Susie was a surprise reader at Harper and Teddy's preschool, but Teddy was sick that day.

On 12-13-14, we got a new cousin - Charles Shae Hoschek!  Pictures from his Bris - sp?

Leo is having a flashback to his Bris!

We got Grandma Susie for Christmas Day!  So exciting!  

Jack looks like he wants to eat the presents - he did not!

The scooters they have been asking for for over a year now!

Teddy had about 5 birthday celebrations from Nov. into Jan.  We got his applejack some boots and a hat to make her gangster!

We did have a couple of cold days - Harper was ready!

The combination of our dogs and our couch = kryptonite.  You will immediately fall asleep!

This bed is just right!

Harper helps me walk the dogs!  She is getting quite good at it!  And Dixie likes to make an occasional blog appearance!  

More scooter riding!

Taco night - nothing says Christmas like Grandma Susie's tacos!  The whole Fam-damnly!

Silly family!

Surprised family!

Big Susie and Little Susie Snowflake!

Maverick on Harper's old bike - that boy loves pink!

Making the tacos!

Mav's first time bowling!  He did great - he only smashed his fingers a couple of times!

By New Year's Eve, everyone was gone!  Time to celebrate!

The National Championship pregame put Dad to sleep, but then he rallied, and Matt, he, and I managed to stay awake for the first quarter!
