NYC!
Just a little Saturday trip to New York! Days like today remind me how much I love New York and how blessed I am to have these 3 guys in my life! ❤️
We visited the Natural History Museum, dined at a favorite pizza restaurant, savored the best cookies in the world, strolled through Central Park, bought (overpriced) M&Ms from the M&M store, took in the lights of Time Square and visited with friends!
The boys’ favorite you might ask? The subway. ?♀️

New Year, New Fun!
On the 26th we said farewell to New Jersey and headed to Florida to visit Papa, Coco, Aunt Kiki and the warm Floridian weather!
Getting to Florida is always an adventure with a (almost) 2 and 4 year old in tow. All in all they’re good travelers….but it’s still tiring!
Explaining ‘how it all works’ 
When we arrived we went for walks, visited the splash pad, played tennis, played golf- with Nathan and Andrea no less(!), swam in the pool and enjoyed the much needed R&R.

When Teddy asks you to sit, you sit! 
Chasing rainbows; a favorite past time of Teddy’s. 
We also ventured out to the Everglades to view the alligators and ride the airboats! A favorite of everyone!
Clearly you shouldn’t feed the alligators…. 
We said farewell to 2018 and welcomed in 2019 with some good food, great friends and many laughs! Excited for all the new year will bring!
Teddy, what do you do when you’re excited?! 
Papa’s version! 
Happy 2019 from the Phillips family!

Hunting….
Trying to find the elusive, rarely spotted, endangered ‘nice picture where both boys are looking at me and dare I ask- smiling!’
Still haven’t found it ?♀️
Maybe I’ll have better luck in 2019! ??

Christmas 2018!
The mayhem and magic of Christmas! Nothing quite like it!
Setting out cookies for Santa and carrots for Rudolph!
So blessed to spend Christmas with Ben and Phoebe who brought lots of laughs and a little French flare to this Christmas!
The joy and excitement of Christmas morning! Andrew wanted a Rocky truck (from Paw Patrol) and a talking Woody (from Toy Story). And Santa delivered! Teddy didn’t have strong requests but received a toy vacuum since he always follows Mommy around while she’s cleaning. He loved his vacuum so much he refused to take his hands off of it all morning…which made difficult for future present opening. There was also a bounce house, big building blocks, books, toys and more toys! Christmas through the eyes of a child is truly something special!
Special shoutout to Phoebe for taking this wonderful pictures that captured it all so beautifully!
And the adults got in on the Christmas fun too!
Capped off Christmas with more food and friends; a perfect holiday! Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Countdown to Christmas
Making buckeyes with Daddy (because some little boys already ate all the cookies we made for Santa!)
And checking out Zoo Lights at Turtle Back Zoo complete with Frosty and train ride!
Santa comes tomorrow night!

Santa Firetruck
An annual Christmas tradition! As a fundraiser our local fire station delivers Christmas presents (that parents drop off the week before).
What’s not to love?!? Santa, fire trucks and presents!
