I am so behind in my posting and I can't believe January is almost over and I'm still posting on Christmas! My intent is to get up caught up now! So hold on to your seats as I post everything that happened to us in the last couple weeks of the Christmas season. It was just so full I can't skip over any of it!
We enjoyed lots and lots of cocoa as the weather turned cooler.
We also decided to spend an evening at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala. It is such a gorgeous place! I love all of their Christmas lights.
It was in the '50s which is pretty chilly for us. Floridians!
3 days before Christmas we made sure we had all of our shopping done as we prepared to have Gimenez family Christmas. It was amazing!
We all get together and have breakfast, then exchange gifts. These times are a treasure to a Momma's heart. I am cherishing these times!!
The boys were adorable this year and were so excited about everything!!
The girls loved their Little House on the Prairie bonnets.
And I loved this bracelet from Brenna!!! She bought one for me and one for Beth with her book covers. I love it!!
Beth also planned some Candy Cane Games for us 6. It was so fun and so competitive. I wish I could say my team won (Me and Silas.) But it was fun anyway!!
VSIBC's Candlelight Service was beautiful!!! And so meaningful. It was fun to dress up. But it was so timely for us to stop and really reflect on the true meaning of Christmas!
Christmas Eve night we drove around looking at Christmas Lights. Then, we went home for some snacky foods. We tried to make a butter candle. It was interesting!! Then, we opened stockings and gave our stocking gifts for Jesus.
Even though my kiddos are older, I love how they still all sleep in the Living Room together for Christmas.
We woke up bright and early Christmas Day. And the first one up???
Patrick!! He was just as excited as everyone else!
Christmas Day we played, played, played. It was wonderful!!
That night we went to Denise's house for Christmas Dinner. It was so delicious!
Then, I caught these two eating the cranberries off of the birthday cake for Jesus!
And just like that, and too quick, Christmas was over....or was it??
