December in Miami

December! Definitely late...sorry! It was a very busy month for Los S...here are some of our favorite pictures. The month started with beacoup Art Basel events... Vernissage was technically November 30...but it kicked off the events quite nicely.
Here we are at Vernissage.
I took a group of friends to Art Miami, Scope and Pulse for the day with VIP passes.
At the MAM Party on the Plaza, I met the immensely talented Faith Ringold who was exhibiting her paintings at the museum. Still in awe of meeting such an American treasure.

Here is Mimi with C at the Coral Gables Tree Lighting Ceremony.
C and Miles dancing to the music at the tree lighting.
Fun times with mommy and daddy at the tree lighting.

We went to our friend Alessandra's baptism--- didn't we look smashing?
Here I am with my "lunch lady" friends at Alessandra's baptism. Her proud mama is in the white pants.
Enjoying our friend Alegra's birthday party after the baptism.
Momma got to go to Chicago with the museum for a seminar. It was a lot of fun and allowed me to see some of my favorite sites and people.
Dinner with Sara was one of the Chicago highlights.
View of Chicago from the ladies room in the John Hancock building.

It was very very cold in Chicago, it snowed and one day the high was 14!
Back in sunny and warm Miami we held our 11th annual Holiday Party, which now that we live on Navarre is called, Navidad on Navarre.


Here we are at the Tolmach-Johnson Holiday party with Melissa and Miles.
At the annual Lesson in Carols at St. Philip's C and her Tia Kiki had a great time together.
D and Tio Chris playing some Christmas favorites.
Over the winter break we had a lot of fun times with friends. Here we are making more playground memories with Miles.
Christmas Eve at Mimi and Babo's. Babo read "The Night Before Christmas" to the girls.



Christmas Day on the Key and at our house with family.

Tio Derek was also in town over the holiday!



And the year...as you would assume ended up with a small New Year's soiree at our house. Hope 2011 was as wonderful for you and yours as it was for us!
