Here are the stats from the weekend:
-3 boys brushed their teeth with hydro cortisone cream
-$200 poorer for pushing cousin Parker in the pool with his camera and phone
-20 people in a 4 bedroom house. In consequence.....
-3 nights of no sleep
-6 people squeezing on a bike
-15 people squeezing in a tree
-2-Jake Hutchings winning American Idol twice (once I was the runner up...YEAH!). We didn't even know he sang. He does. On a side note I would like to say Jason has since claimed the title of American Idol. He scored 85,000 points on "Come Sail Away" by Styx.
-3...the number of times we watched "Mama Mia"
-2- our two kids slept in Grandma and Grandpa's room. THANK YOU!!!!
J and Link strolling along the beach.
Family picture after the hot tub.
Ella's playmates of the week- her cousins, the twins, Sophia and Lillian.
Link has a secret love for Beau. He just chooses to show it by screaming at him and telling him to go to time-out.
Ella making a sand angel. It's as close as we get in GA to making snow angels.
Ella looking classy as ever.
We were so lucky no one fell out. It was VERY crowded.
We look thrilled. I know. Maybe it's because we are very close to the beach's shark infested waters. Seriously, St.Simon's Is. has some of the most shark infested waters. You couldn't pay me to stick my toe in that water. People fish for sharks off the pier. Ew.
We had SO much fun renting these bikes. Ella and Link couldn't get enough.
Lincoln's totally ineffective helmet. He would NOT put it on correctly and he refused to take it off. He was trying to make a fashion statement.
Squeezing into Emily's van on the way to renting bikes. Safe, I assure you. I think we squeezed about 12 people in there. Four in the trunk alone. It was a good excuse to cuddle.
Ella enjoying the pool. When she got out she was purple for about an hour. It was kind of cold to be swimming on Friday.
Link being the terror that he is throwing water on people. He even had the audacity to sneak up on Grandma and pour a bucket of chilly water down her clothed back. Sorry!
This is Jason's idea of a vacation. Mine too I guess. But someone's gotta make sure the kids don't drown. J works so hard...he deserves it. We had so much fun. Thanks for taking us Poppy and Grandma Becky!

Wow Claire.. what a cool Christmas vacation! Looks like a blast! Your kids are so adorable :)
I am jealous of the warm weather!!! It sure beats all the snowstorms we have been having here. I think it was actually a nice 14 degrees this morning!!!
I'm always so envious of your fun vacations! I would've killed for some warm weather. It's was below zero more times last month than I can count!
Those tree pictures are awesome. That's funny about Parker's phone and camara. Reading about it made me realize that the days of safely pushing clothed people in pools are pretty well over with all the expensive gadgets everyone has in their pockets.
FWIW your new font is pretty but it takes me 3 times longer to decipher.
What a fun holiday!!! You guys do the funnest things. Love the bum crack Ella!
So freakin' jealous! Now that sounds like Christmas to me. That place looks super cool - aside from the sharks of course... Your fam is adorable.
