Christmas in Florida!

 We were lucky to spend another Christmas in Florida with Patrick's mom, sister, and papa. These pictures uploaded in reverse order, but you'll get the idea. We had an early flight that left at 6:40 AM, yikes! I was nervous with how Branko would do, but he did fabulous waking up at 4AM and acted like it was a normal morning. We got to the airport and through the line for security when my ticket wouldn't scan. My husband thinks my birthday is June 20th and not June 25th! This isn't the first time he's done this. Last time was before our trip to Cabo (that we never got to go to due to Pat hurting his back), however, Patrick caught it the day before we were supposed to leave. Luckily, the airport wasn't too packed and we were able to get through the line again without any wait.

We were very lucky to fly out before this "massive" snowstrom that was to come. Schools were cancelled-including colleges during finals week, allowing for kids to have 2 days extra of Christmas vacation. Turns out, there wasn't even that much snow! An intense cold front came- but once we got home, you could still see the grass! Even Florida was cold over Christmas. It only reached the mid-high 40's while we were there for 2 of our days!

Due to the snowstorm, lots of flights were cancelled and Southwest completely was overwhelmed with cancellations. We somehow only got delayed 2 hours on the way back and had a pretty empty flight. Branko fell asleep as the plane was taking off making it the easiest flight with him yet.



He got real cozy.... This was our first flight with Branko in his own seat and it was so nice having the extra space. Our last trip to Florida was in July and I was around 28 weeks pregnant, so we basically had 3 people in one seat! (Me Conrad and Branko). Eventually Patrick moved to an open aisle with all open seats and Branko had 2 seats to stretch out and take a nap.


Bath pics!



Papa Branko got to meet Conrad! He often called him Donovan. (Lots of new babies in the family)



After being stuck inside due to the cool weather, we decided to take a drive around Marco Island, where we stayed. Parts of it were destroyed from the hurricane. A restaurant we went to last year that was on the beach was completely gone 

Matching Christmas PJ's. I secretly love when theyre matching.







The first 2 days we were there was perfect swimming weather. Branko swam 4 or 5 times while we were there. We stayed at an air bnb and this family must have lots of children in their family because they had toys, high chairs, pack and plays, and their pool had a fence all around it making it easier for us to enjoy the lanai without having to worry about Branko jumping in the water...because he would.
















Funny story behind this photo. Branko had just gotten out of the bath and Bacca (Grandma in Serbian) gave Branko this ice cream cone. Patrick cleaned him up and turned around and Branko was all dirty again because he must have hid the ice cream cone when Patrick thought he was finished. Patrick was like, "how are you messy again?!"







Conrad did great on his first flight!
