Christmas in Florida - my absolute favorite time of the year! Here are the pics... there aren't too many as the majority of us spent the holiday ill in bed, but here's what I managed to capture!
Breakfast on day 1... the scene every morning!
We go straight from breakfast to laying out by the pool - it was FREEZING that first day!
... warming up...
Daily walks on the beach with Allison.
Getting artsy trying to capture our shadows :)
Mom, Dad, Allison and I playing cards in the living room by the Christmas tree...
We killed Mom and Dad in spades.
Katie and Chris arrived the next day! All 3 of us together again for the first time in a year! (That will never happen again.)
Girls grocery trip - getting ready for Christmas dinner.
Christmas morning before heading to Grandma's!
Cooking in the world's SMALLEST kitchen
This was our view at lunch every day. L o v e.
Indian card game - Allison and I completely tied on a slap! Hahaha you couldn't recreate how we ended up if you tried!
Yeah, it was bad. Mom had a cold all week, I was so ill I couldn't get out of bed, and Kates had to go to the hospital for a full day! (Everything's ok now don't worry!)
Allison and I met a couple out by the pool that belongs to Mar-a-Lago (Donald Trump's Palm Beach residence). Through a random string of events, they ended up inviting us to lunch there one day!! We were so excited to get inside and see what it's like! We even saw Baron (Donald and Melania's son) playing by the pool. Two words describe this place: utter opulence.
Proving we were there! In front of the croquet lawn.
On Katie's last day, we realised we hadn't gotten any family pictures. Chris had to fly back to LA the day of the hospital visit, so we didn't manage to get him in any :( But we made sure to get one with the 5 of us!
Outtake 1
Outtake 2 - lol dad!
The only moderately ok one!
Took this on our last day - this picture perfectly sums up Christmas in Florida!! Every day spent here soaking in the sun and beach views!!
Breakfast on day 1... the scene every morning!
We may have put the turkey in the oven upside down. Made Dad's carving a bit.... interesting.
Eating the fruits of our labor! Katie, Chris and I are on the other side of this pic (we didn't manage to get a group shot unfortunately)!
Outtake 1
I can't believe it's over. Time to start the countdown for Christmas 2013!
