Ah, the Christmas season is upon us!
We've been busy baking Christmas treats, decorating the house (the tree has lights but still no ornaments), sending cards (they went in the mail today!), attending holiday parties, and of course the big trip to Florida last weekend to visit the Trenor extended family.
Dargan has been sick off and on (ear infections, stomach bug, cough, sniffles) but is currently (*knock on wood*) doing okay. Hoping to stay illness-free through the rest of the year at least!
This will largely be a photo update, so here goes...
Hi! I have snacks. I will share with you.

We went to Barley's for dinner, and Dargan fell asleep before our food came.
He hasn't done this in forever! |
Running around at the TR Holiday Market
We had Bojangles for dinner one night. Dargan preferred steamed carrots. He might not be my child.
Below is a series of photos when we tried to get a cute holiday card-worthy photo of Dargan.
(See also: toddlers won't sit still for anything.)

| Finally, a cute photo in a totally casual and unplanned moment when we picked up our Christmas tree! |
More cute Christmas photo attempts... (fail)

| I do like this one - he's looking at his "my first Christmas" ornament from last year! |
Florida Trip
Our flight was early on Thursday morning, and Dargan did wonderfully with getting up and settled onto the airplane. The first short flight from GSP to ATL was quick, then he had an early lunch and took a nice long nap for the majority of the second flight from ATL to PBI.
Staying seated is a challenge.

| Silly selfies with Daddy! |
Snacks and airplane watching make for a good layover.
Airplane naps good.
When we got to Florida, Scott's brother (David) and his wife (Elizabeth) and their son (Oliver) were already there. Oliver is 3, and he and Dargan had a blast together!

Playing ball
Tractor rides!!

On Friday we had a nice morning at the beach, where Dargan was afraid of the ocean but loved chasing seagulls and pointing at them going "Booh!" ("bird")
After everyone (yes everyone) had naps after lunch, we visited Tía (Scott's great Aunt) before heading to dinner.
Somebody said "make silly faces!"
Stopped to look at Holiday lights on the way home from dinner. Dargan was amazed!

Saturday we celebrated Christmas, opened presents in the morning, and had the whole family gather for dinner that evening.

| Dargan wanted to be everywhere Oliver was! |
David, Liz, and Oliver left early Sunday morning, so we spent the morning going for a run and visiting the nearby playground, then explored some breweries in the afternoon.
Civil Society Brewing Company (Brewery #60 for Dargan)

| We told him to "say cheese" |
Twisted Trunk Brewing Co. (Brewery #61 for Dargan)
We headed home Monday morning and once again Dargan was a champion traveler! So so proud of how well-behaved he was.
