December 24th 

We spent a wonderful Christmas eve day with the Golden Family.  We had such a fantastic "feast" and had some great conversations, fun and games together.

Then in the evening we dressed up and went to a lovely candlelit service at a large church in Orlando.

Christmas Morning - HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!   What a wonderful time of year to remember the birth of our Lord and Saviour.

Things were a little different for us all this year, being in a cozy trailer and all, but we had a great morning and were all spoiled rotten!

 We didn`t want to feel left out among all our ``fellow rv buddies`` so we gave the kids 2 electric scooters to rip around the parks on.

FUN......FUN.......FUN.!!!!

 We had a ``new`` type of Christmas brekkie this year - cinnamon buns - the difference being that they were ``out of a can`` - including the icing!!!!!, instead of homemade.   Also had bacon and very rich chocolate mint milk - yummy !!!!    Then after lunch we went to join the Golden`s for some hilarious games and gift exchanging - lots of fun!

 For one of the games we had bought about 15 ugly items from a thrift store and everyone had to go into the room, change into what they thought would be a great outfit and then we took a photo and chose a winner - we couldn`t put some of the photos on (you know who you are !!!!! - starts with a T and ends with ``odd``) as they were SO bad!!!   Anyhow....what a blast!

 Then in the evening we had our much anticipated Christmas Buffet dinner.   We decided that instead of trying to cook in the small trailer, clean all the multitude of dishes this was definitely a better option for all of us..............and the kids were pumped.

 And as usual......we were not disappointed!!!!

After our meal we came back to the rv park and the kids watched a movie and Scott and I played tennis and went for a swim - felt a bit weird doing that on Christmas day......but new memories were made.

Praise the Lord for his birth!
