Christmas Rewind Part 2

The second part of our trip we spent at Jason's parents. Not only was I looking forward to seeing our human family and friends, but also this guy who I rescued few years ago....

Ted and Nancy adopted him as our old kitty would not tolerate another kitty friend in the house. Mr. Gracie is the funniest cat. I found him curled up between the coffee makers one morning. He is the only cat that I know who will play catch.


We had a get together with Jason's extended family at the assisted living where Granny (Jason's 94 year old grandmother) lives.

Granny loved the pink sequin beret she received..:) We had fun hanging out and catching up.


Christmas Eve we spent with Jason's parents... we opened presents in the morning.. the kids just couldn't wait!







We took a refreshing stroll around the neighborhood in the afternoon. The weather was quite nice... sunny and in the 40's.

Caroline brought her American Girl doll along for the walk....



Sammy (the dog) enjoyed racing the kids!

Christmas morning!

Ema makes delicious hot chocolate with a candy cane!

Our final stop is my grandmother's house on Christmas Day. She is an amazing cook and still hosts my mother's entire family at her house. I think there were over 40 people there!

Caroline and her cousin Taylor (Alex and Jackson with some shenanigans in the back...)

My dad with the kids.....
Caroline with my grandmother.....


Alex and Jackson with his puppet buddy....

We are so blessed to have wonderful families who all enjoy getting together to celebrate Christmas. We miss them lots and can't wait to see them when they come down to Florida to visit us at the beach!
