St. Augustine afternoon

Whenever we go down to Night of Lights, in St. Augustine each November, we ALWAYS say "Let's come back and see the Christmas lights again when it isn't so crowded!"  We love the tradition, and the kick-off of the holiday festivities, but we don't reallly get to SEEE the lights - because there are so many people, and we're focused on trying not to lose our children!

So this year, we finally went back down to see the lights before they came down at the end of January. First stop was Project SWING.  This is a playground that Eric and I helped BUILD, way back when (ha ha) in college.  The kiddos had a TON of fun - it's a really great playground!  It was absolutely FREEZING the day we went, and windy, and cloudy.  But it was worth it!

After that, we had dinner at a little British pub that we had NEVER been to, we walked around downtown, and enjoyed the Christmas lights one last time for the season.  

family pictures (Part 2)

 GOOF. BALLS.

 The rest of these pictures were taken at Memorial Presbyterian Church, right next door to Flagler.  It is a BEAUTIFUL church, and one of the centerpieces of downtown St. Augustine.

family portraits!!!!! EEEK! (part 1)

We had family pictures taken, the end of February, in St. Augustine.  I simply ADORE them.  Every single one of them.  The photographer is the mom of one of Bryce's kindergarten classmates, and she was fantastic! She was awesome with the kids, and she was a ton of fun to spend the afternoon with! (Her name is Steph Owens, and if you happen to be in the area, you should totally hire her! tee hee!) Here are just a few of the 230 pictures we have on the CD.  I'll post more tomorrow!!

This is right in front of the main gate at Flagler.  Eric and I have walked through those gates JUST a few times. .. and we have engagement pictures taken in that same spot too! Cool, huh!?

 These are in the courtyard at Flagler . . .

 I'm happy the frog fountain wasn't filled with soap bubbles, or Kool Aid on this day. . . .a common favorite prank on campus!!! :)

 LOVE this picture of Eric and I in the mail room at Flagler! How fun is that!? Those mailboxes are the original ones, way back when Flagler was the Ponce de Leon Hotel. They are super cool.

 I don't know WHY Tanner was trying to eat Bryce's hand, but I think this picture is HILARIOUS!

More pictures tomorrow!!!!

just in case. . .(family photos)

Just in case you aren't on Facebook, and haven't seen the sneak peek of our absolutely A-MAZ-ING family photos, here is the link!!!

Williams family photos!

The mom of one of Bryce's Kindergarten classmates is a photographer and took these photos for us in St. Augustine.  Eric and I had our engagement pictures taken around Flagler, and we thought it would be so awesome to go back and do family photos there!  I cannot even EXPLAIN to you how much I LOVE these pictures!!!! The boys were troopers (for the most part!) and hung in there.  Tanner's expressions CRACK me up in some of these.  What a goof! (I can't imagine where he gets it from!)
