We had a fun Christmas Eve!
We spent a couple of hours at the beach.
It was a beautiful day today,
and there is a cold front coming through
tonight - it's going to be COLD tomorrow.
We found some fun beach art!
Then I colored my hair.
While Rod took a nap and Kyle
fertilized his garden.
And then it was time for the annual
Santa Claus on the Fire Truck.
We found Melbourne Beach's Santa first.
Santa was riding on a golf cart!
And then, after much driving around,
we FINALLY caught up with Indialantic's.
And then home to eat the lasagna that was baking
in the toaster oven.
(And garlic and cheese bread in the air fryer...)
After a yummy dinner, we made tiny
ginger bread houses!
It was Rod's first ever gingerbread house!
He had a fun!
Jim's creative juices were flowing.
Sabrina has obviously done this before!
Kyle.
2021.
Coming in hot!
Complete with army men and snipers on the roof.
He had a BLAST!
He took the award for most ... specifically themed?
And the most laughing while building it?
And the gory-est?
Also, then he ate all the little men.
(Sour patch kids)
Dipped in frosting.
And he now has a belly-ache.
Rod took the award for most traditional.
With his little family outside,
candy on the roof,
and gum drop chimney.
Jim got "Most Creative" for his
melted snowman and
beautiful roof frosting work.
He added a chimney later...
Sabrina was "most colorful".
She had people hanging out of her windows
and a picket fence with snow on
the flat part of her roof!
SO CUTE!
We had a really good time!
In fact the boys voted to do it again
next year!
Now Kyle is in the Zoom Room,
wrapping presents.
(The best flat surface)
Rod is napping on the couch.
(Well, sleeping, not napping since it's nearly
11:00 pm! WAAAY past his bedtime...)
I'm watching a Hallmark Christmas Movie
and blogging.
Hope you also had a fun, laugh filled,
family full Christmas Eve!

Such a fun Christmas Eve. We had Walt and Robert and Naomi and Ismael over. We had roast beef dinner and then watched The Christmas Story and then another "Christmas Classic" Die Hard! (ugh!) then we all headed to bed (Naomi and Ismael are tired still after having COVID and recovering (mostly, just still tired) and Greg and I recovering (still) from food poisoning last weekend. Walt and Robert probably stayed up!
Greg and I decided to finish up the TEN (yes count them) stockings in the morning since we weren't starting until around 9am. We still had to get up and walk the dog before everyone else even got out of bed! ha ha Sam and Randy joined us around 8:55am for our annual Christmas morning (missing G&G this year though).
