Merry Christmas! We got to celebrate throughout the month of December and what a wonderful month it was! We kicked off the celebration with a visit from Nana and Papa.
Sophia opened one gift from Nana and Papa. Just what she wanted...Project MC2 lab kit!
Papa is going to be sporting a Squadron 16 golf shirt.
Marco got a light-up car from Uncle Rich and Auntie Cherie.
Gianni got the Avenger action figure collection. This seemed to make him pretty happy.
Liliana got a whole Frozen world of creativity!
Sophia, Gianni, and Liliana sing in the children's Christmas choir.
Yes, we forced the kids to wear matching PJs on Christmas Eve.
Sophia poses with our traditional Christmas Eve dinner...the seven fish.
In Georgia, you can eat Christmas dinner outside!!!
Marco tastes spinach for the first time and he likes it!
Mommy and Liliana open presents...a new pillow from Auntie Shelly and candy cane lip gloss from Patrick and Mollie.
Modeling her new Elsa and Ana snow boots.
By this point, its a free-for-all.
Marco seems a bit overwhelmed. Someone help this kid!
Time for a Christmas golf cart ride.
Happy birthday Daddy! Everyone enjoys birthday cupcakes.
The kids are trying out their new wheels!
We head to the Jacksonville Zoo for Zoo Lights! I think Liliana is hugging an otter but I am not totally sure.
Some of the folks from the dark side also join us at the zoo.
But we were saved by a couple of Jedi knights.
Sophia swims away with her dolphin gang.
Gianni and Liliana goof off with some manatees.
Mommy, Daddy, and Marco pose with the flamingos (the lighted ones, not the real ones).
Liliana gets to meet her idol, Elsa.
Has there ever been a smile so big?
The Spencers hit the road. First stop: Bush Gardens, Tampa. Gianni (you may not recognize him in his new shades) and Liliana enjoy the sky ride.
The kids found a beautiful botanical nativity scene (look in the background).
Now we are posing with the real flamingos!
Who gave this kid a license?
Marco hits the carousel. Look at his joy and excitement!
Liliana jumps on her favorite ride...the swings.
Sophia and Gianni play in the splash zone.
Mommy and Lili do a bit of flying
Next we head to Sarasota to vacation with the Armstrong Family. The kids have their vests on and are ready to cruise the inter-coastal waterway.
Gianni decides to take a nap as we set the sea and anchor detail.
The ladies relax. After all, the boat only has one helm wheel.
The girls are having fun on the open ocean.
We park the boat and hit the beach. Daddy starts the fun by flinging Gianni through the air.
Mollie and Macie cuddle Marco.
Jack and Gianni hang out!
I have to question the decision to give this girl the wheel.
Our second annual Pontoon Boat Family Picture.
Marco found us a cozy spot on Siesta Key Beach.
It is time to leave and say good bye to the Armstrongs.
In the end, it was all too much for Marco!
