Ho Ho Ho!


The Girls enjoyed an exciting Christmas Season this year, kicked off by their first school Christmas Performance at Mary Seat.  Caroline and Victoria were so excited to wear their new vestidos that Areli and Family gave to them.  Santa then came early to Park Ridge so that the Girls could enjoy a trip to FL over Christmas Week.

V & C at our early Christmas in Park Ridge.   The Girls were a big help making cookies for Santa and Peppermint (Elf on Shelf) gave the Girls a good report!  Caroline proved she is definitely the rapid gift opener of the pair.

V & C had a great time at the beach, however, within an hour of being there Victoria and Mama were stung by a jellyfish for the second time while in Palm Beach.  The reward is a smoothie and ice cream, so Caroline smartly said upon returning to the beach that she wanted to get stung by a jellyfish!

C & V were fish, we spent most of our day either in the ocean or the pool and water slide.  Santa also brought them two necklaces that they are both wearing in this picture.  Santa came to FL also, for his vacation.
As you can see, Santa arrived Christmas morning at the resort "Florida Style", arriving on the beach via his waverunner.  Papa thought this Santa may have been out late the night before, and he wasn't delivering gifts!


Once inside with St. Nick, Victoria realized that the beach Santa was different from the one under the tree.  Mama reassured her that the waverunning Santa was just a helper.  We know we'll have to be careful with the Christmas story as V starts asking more questions!


Caroline enjoying some delicious hot chocolate and cookies after visiting with Santa Claus.



To keep it real, the weather on Christmas was overcast and windy, so we went on a seashelling expedition.  The Girls collected plenty of shells for jewelry making projects.

All in all, the Girls loved their trip to Florida, but Victoria said she misses her little "Lovey" at home and Caroline misses her "bed".

Merry Christmas!
