A Middle-Of-Florida Christmas Eve
On the morning of December 24th, we packed up the car and headed over to the Villages. It was a little tight! See this image larger.
We arrived at Grampa Ray and Grandma Barb’s just in time to hear about an excursion to the local pool! So we got all dolled up and golf-carted ourselves right over there! See this image larger.
Mommy and Nina having a blast! See this image larger.
Aunt Mel, Cousins Connor and Kaylee also having a blast! See this image larger.
Ian loves having goggles on, he becomes almost fearless! See this image larger.
Smile for the camera! See this image larger.
Another cute one!
Ian saw Connor shoot water all over the place doing this, so of course he had to try it!
Come on, tough girl!
Good job, little sweetie! See this image larger.
Our family of really white people, getting some sun! See this image larger.
We hopped back in the cart and headed home!
*Hey, you guys are dragging some noodles!*
Nina ready to go back to the pool again already! See this image larger.
*The question is, if the milk is in a purple cup, how come it doesn’t taste more purpley? HMMM?!?* See this image larger.
Crazy kids and cousins. See this image larger.
On the Kunze side of the family there is a tradition of leaving a mixture of stuff for Santa’s reindeer out on the lawn. I don’t know what all’s in there, but glitter is definitely part of it.
And there was much to distribute! See this image larger.
The reindeer shall enjoy each other’s sparkly teeth for weeks to come! (Also the kids will probably blink said sparkles out of their eyes in a few weeks too.)
Ian suddenly said “GUYS, WE’VE GOT TO GO IN RIGHT NOW. LOOK UP THERE, IT’S SANTA’S SLEIGH!” Looking up, sure enough, there was a steadily blinking red light streaking through the sky. I took this picture just to remember to tell you all this story.
Grampa Ray and Nina pose for a pic on the front porch, doing a little extracurricular coloring! See this image larger.
When your cousin wants to use your iPad.
Look at Ian here… *Kaylee, back off!*
We lost Aunt Dissy that night, but eventually we found her under a pile of children.
*Hi Aunt Dissy! Nina, stop eating your Christmas gift from Grampa Dave and Gramma Marcia!*
The adults got into it too! (Tablets became a lot more popular this trip, to say the least!)
Mommy reads Ian and Cousin Kaylee a bedtime story. Next entry is Christmas (again!) See this image larger.
