Well, it had not felt like Christmas to us all December. We started the month in Arizona, worked our way through New Mexico(awesome visit to Aunt Joyce), Texas(Big Bend NP fantastic), Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama then Florida. As we pulled into our RV park in Panama City Beach in the dark, I was so happy to see Christmas lights and decorations throughout the park and on the RVs(lots of snowbirds here). You could just feel the Christmas spirit!
December 23rd was a Christmas fest! From finding the last 3ft Christmas tree in town, to decorating the RV, making gingerbread houses, stringing popcorn and cranberries, making sugar cookies, white chocolate covered pretzels, white chocolate cranberry banana bread(Delicious!), pralines(Scott wanted to make these and they were awesome) and Christmas music playing, we got our quick fix of the holiday! We had so much to give thanks for this Christmas!! God has truly blessed us!!!
We were so happy that my parents decided to meet us for Christmas! It was so fun to have family with us!! Our kids miss their grandparents and so it was a gift to be able to see on set. This will be a Christmas to remember… Here are some things we did: played Farkel, read books, biked(Kane had Papa biking all over the RV Park), basketball(boys played TOM(my dads name) instead of PIG-Kanes idea), air hockey, fooseball, went to the beach on Christmas(that was a first for all of us-can’t find one of those in MO), Scott made a mouth watering Beef Tenderloin and Pork Butt on the Green Egg, shopping with Nana, fishing at the RV lake and ocean with Papa, date night with grandparents(which meant date night for Scott and I(dinner and Hunger Games-so fun! Thanks Mom and Dad!), American Girl Paperdolls with Nana, Apples to Apples, Settlers of Zarahemla for the adults… Such precious times!
