Christmas in Florida

This year we spend Christmas in Florida with

B, Grandaddy, Karen, John, and Becca. After

a tasty Italian dinner on Christmas Eve, we came

home and the girls opened their Christmas

pajamas from B.

Becca was much more interested in

trying to put on her mommy's pajamas

than her own. And, Lindsey put hers

on but was not willing to participate in

any picture taking.

Christmas morning the girls surprisingly

agreed to go to Starbucks before seeing

what Santa brought for them. They

got their chocolate milk and all of the adults

were thankful for the Christmas morning

cup of coffee.

Molly was thrilled with what Santa brought

her - Lindsey thought it was pretty fun

as well. The Rising Star tent came with

a speaker and a microphone which was enjoyed

by all the girls and none of us grown-ups!

After Molly got her Rising Star tent,

she ran in for her first costume change.

Here, she is opening a Cinderella costume

from Grammy which was her second costume

change.

Lindsey was thrilled with her Cinderella

dress as well.

Lindsey asked for the Diamond Castle Princess Barbie and she was

so happy that Santa knew what to bring her. She sings a most annoying

song that you can't get out of your head once you hear it. All of us walked

around singing "Protected, connected...." Christmas morning.

The Sheridan's sent Molly and Lindsey a Karaoke

machine which has a video component as well so

they can see themselves when they are singing.

We need to get it set up so they can have the stage

as the background. The girls won't want to leave

the playroom once we get that set up.

Molly and Lindsey loved the piano from B and

Grandaddy. We were treated to all sorts of

concerts from all 3 girls.

Molly's third costume change was when

she opened her Alice in Wonderland dress.

This is her "chore" dress. It was nice

to have her come around asking for chores

to do!

We did stockings Christmas night

and Lindsey wanted to open hers in

B's closet. She was most excited about

getting gum and "hand-san-tire" which

is also known as hand sanitizer.

The Rising Star Talent Show tent

worked well as a place to watch a

movie and "take a sleep" as well. Molly

is deep in the tent but Lindsey thought

it was "too spooky" and opted for

hanging out on the side of the tent.

It was a great Christmas! The girls

enjoyed all of their loot and most of

all had fun spending time with the

family.
