A Beachy Merry Christmas {eve}!

It seems to be a new tradition of ours to visit the beach on Christmas Eve.

A lot has changed in a year - but we made it to our little beach for our annual Christmas Eve sunset! ;)

It's hard to believe this was us last year:


& now here we are with a baby in tow! ;)

You can't really tell but my husband even wore the same shirt as last Christmas Eve. It's a favorite. For sure.

I think what this holiday really reminded me of is how we no longer live in the Tampa area. I can't really say that it is my "home" because it really isn't anymore. My mom moved down here, we have been down here over a year now, and we started a family here. We definitely now have "roots" in the southwest Florida area. I miss Tampa/Clearwater and everyone there but I suppose I should just keep looking ahead. I can still go home and visit whenever I want - the 2 hour drive is not too ridiculous - and Cannon is getting older and might make the trip too soon. :)

I am curious to see how Christmas 2013 will look like!

What an awesome tradition you have. That should be fun putting into a photo book once you have a good amount of pics!
