I love Christmas in Florida… water, sand, sun… what’s not to love.
Philippi Park
Clearwater Beach
Tree Climbing with Mama
Oh… and don’t for get the presents… and presents.. and presents!
At the top of my list this year was a remote control boat, hex bugs, and a manatee tree ornament.
Our first attempt with the boat was not very successful.
But the next day we found calmer waters… it was awesome!
We enjoyed some warm weather in FL for the holiday season this year. Or at least that was the plan. We scheduled a manatee tour… and it was 45 degrees! It was COLD but well worth it!
Our manatee swim was at 7AM so we stayed at a hotel close by… Grace and I had a blast!
I loved it… I snorkeled with Dada for over an hour and we saw so many Manatees! We have some great video, at one point there were so many manatees around I kept bumping into them.
Grace did not like it as much, she was only in the water for a bit, but she enjoyed watching them from boat.
GG and Stephanie liked it… like fish in the water.
My first Christmas celebration came in the mail…
Mama found a REAL firefighter named Myron! We went to visit him at his station. He showed me all of the firefighting equipment… I was in aw.
My favorite firefighter tool was the heat sensitive camera. It can see thru buildings and shows you how hot things are.
Thank you Firefighter Myron!
Myron did his first school holiday party and show this year… they sang, danced, played and opened presents!
His favorite teacher – Miss Brie
This year we went to a local tree farm…
We had to pick just the right one….
The one with a nest!
The tree farm also provided our first piece of Indiana furniture… an antique cabinet…
We decorated our tree with care….
and wa-la!
We drove to MN for Thanksgiving. We stopped in Madison on our way there… I loved the jungle pool.
My swimming skills are coming along.
My favorite parts of MN, toys, family, and snow!
Sophia and Brie, my amazing cousins.
Thanksgiving Number 1
Thanksgiving Number 2
We had a wonderful meal with friends (Jess, Cory, Emma, Abby and Anna, CJ, Ria, Liam) and Emma made me a purse! I am still using it 4 months later.
Thanksgiving Number 3 – Grandma Stender and Cousins Erin and Jared – I love cousins!
Next we were just in time for Brie’s birthday at the American Girl Doll store. Happy Birthday Brie!
Even my tracker wore a party hat!
The American Girl Doll store is a lonely place for a boy and his tractor.
Thanksgiving Number 4 with my good buddy Ivan.
Few that is a lot of thanksgivings in one short 3 day visit!
