Family Fun Weekend

Hey friends!  can you believe it's Christmas week?  I haven't quite caught up to the date yet but I got some stuff knocked out this weekend.  My MIL comes in town Wednesday, we are hosting Christmas Eve dinner and then a full day of Christmas fun.  
For the five little kiddos, we opted to treat them to Disney World for the night for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas.  It was great!  We went Thursday night and they had the time of their life.



They finally crashed at 10:30 before we headed back.  Luckily, the next day at school they had a pretty relaxed day planned so Auntie wasn't in trouble for keeping them out late.  If you ever have the chance to attend this event, I highly recommend it.  I am not typically the big theme park junkie but this is an exception.  It's really a great way to see Disney without the hot Florida heat and gigantic crowds.  
Friday after work, we went to Port Canaveral for their annual boat parade.  Boats decorate with lights and pass thru where all the restaurants are along the water.  My sis has a pontoon boat so we all loaded up and cruised thru.  It was chilly Friday night and a little windy but we had a great time.





Sunday we had a family luncheon at my sister's house.  The kids were all dressed but they talked the parents into letting them swim after we ate.  You couldn't pay me to hop in the chilly water but they lasted about 20 minutes before their lips were chattering and they hopped out.  


I was busy busy wrapping gifts last night.  Unfortunately, it's going to be warm here this week so we'll miss a little of the extra touch the chill brings but will have a great week, nonetheless. 
Hope you have a super week!  Merry Christmas.

Kids Christmas Crafts

Hey friends...it's Friday! My annual Christmas Eve dinner is right around the corner and I have been online looking for ways to keep all the kiddos occupied.  Last year we did this snow globe project and they loved it.  We also had this fun hot cocoa bar and they went bonkers after dinner digging in.

This year, I wanted to skip the hot glue guns and look for something a touch more kid-friendly so they could hang without direct supervision.  Anything with paint is definitely out.  Thank goodness for Pinterest.  :) Here are some of what I have found so far.....

Weekend of Christmas Parties

Hey friends!  After a crazy few weeks, I found a few minutes to hop online.  I had a party Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night.  Sadly, I only got a couple pics from Saturday at our company party.  

Meanwhile, my soccer team was in a tournament while I was out of town and we WON!  They were so excited.  I hated to miss it but cheered them along from the text messages I got from our parents keeping me updated.


I got back home Sunday and crashed.  My suitcase is in the laundry room and all I managed to unpack were my cosmetics.  I am off and running this week and was just chatting my husband last night about Christmas.  We are committed to getting in the spirit this week and enjoy these last few weeks of the holiday season.  
Hope you are off to a super week! xoxo
