This was Kelsee's first fishing trip to Dania pier - so exciting!!
Haylee's a pro - she went fishing here with her Daddy on her fourth birthday back in 2005.
Here's how you do it Kelsee - watch me!
Haylee caught a fish - Can you see it??!!
Kelsee's turn - she's gonna catch a big one
Kelsee's first fish - so much bigger than Haylee's!!!
Haylee and Kelsee right before Christmas Eve Service.
Haylee and Kelsee with Grandma and her chocolates - We couldn't wait until Christmas day to give them to her because Kelsee spilled the beans as soon as we walked in the door. 
The girls were so excited to go to the beach - it's been a really long time since we've been to the Ocean. The water was actually warm too - so strange for it to be December 22nd and be enjoying 80 degree weather. They had a blast.
The Fort Lauderdale version of Santa and Mrs. Claus
So you're probably wondering why the heck the girls are dressed up and swimming in the ocean right??!! I was told we were going down "by the beach" to meet Santa and get the girls' pictures taken. Santa was actually on the beach - and forget about keeping these girls out of the water. I have to admit I was a little freaked out at first - but it was a blast watching them play in the ocean - totally worth the ruined outfits. That's what washers are for right?!
mmm - gotta love sand in your mouth
Don't you love the look on her face - she's having such a great time!!
What would the day be without Kelsee going into her "crazy" mode
Haylee my sand monster - she discovered that was not such a good idea. 
They were both cracking us up - watching the waves crash over them. The water was so much warmer than the Pacific Ocean we're used to. 
Waiting for our plane to Florida - only a 3 hour delay - we got in to Fort Lauderdale at 2:30 am
