Our hearts are full as we are so happy to have our three sons home for Christmas!
Donna’s dad and brother are also here, which is an added bonus!!
What about you? Will you be in a house surrounded by family or friends or will you be having a quiet weekend?
Either way, we pray you have a holiday as wonderful as you are!
What we’ve been up to this week
Remember all that work we did at the beginning of December, decorating, shopping, wrapping, meal planning, card sending, etc.?
Well, it was all worth it, because this week, we are having fun!
Don’t get me wrong, we did have to work a few days. But we played a lot too!
Early in the week, we went to Disney Springs for dinner and enjoyed the Christmas tree stroll. Our two youngest sons still had some shopping to do!
We got to enjoy Disney “snow” for a few minutes! Hey, we take what we can get here in Florida!
Mid-week, we decorated the family Christmas tree!
The boys get a new ornament every year symbolizing something special to them!
Then, we decorated gingerbread houses and baked cookies!
And today, as you’re reading this post we’ll be at EPCOT enjoying the Festival of Holidays!
If you missed our posts this week, now’s your chance to catch up!
