Christmas Celebration in Florida


Since we have our Egyptian Adventure planned over the Christmas holiday, we celebrated Christmas together this weekend. Saturday, during the day, I went with Connor and Paige on one last shopping trip to find a few extra things for Andrea.

On Saturday night, we played our new family game "Happy Salmon". I was expecting a chill card game, but the game involved running around a table (we used our ottoman), screaming, and lots of gestures and action. Millie Mae didn't get to use the cards, but she contributed loudly during the game and enjoyed the game as much as anyone else. 

 
Sunday morning the kids got to sleep in, and then I started on our chili before we began opening presents. Andrea did a wonderful job picking out all kinds of special things for the kids and for me as well. 

Paige received a stuffed animal from Connor, new Birkenstock sandals, some beauty products, clothes, and her big gift was a new iPad. Her old iPad hadn't been holding a charge and was too slow to do much of anything lately. It is perfect timing for her just before our long flights overseas.



Connor got some Ugg slippers, clothes, quite a few FSU items, and new headphones for his PC.




Andrea got some sweet treats, a new water bottle, socks, an Indiana Fever sweatshirt, a PVIC sweatshirt, and a notepad with matching pens.


Shawn had many gifts this year including an Aviator Nation sweatshirt, PV t-shirts, an FSU Dad shirt, sweets, and socks.






After opening presents, we watched the Chiefs play against the Browns while we ate our chili.
