Hollywood does a festival for kids every other Friday night so Ross & took Lily there last Friday before all the Christmas excitement started.
The face painter asked Lily if she wanted a princess or an angel, Lily said "Tiger".
She had a ton of fun.
Once David arrived and Brandi was on vacation too, we decided to spend the day at South Florida's freak show... the Swap Shop. We packed our lunch to avoid having to eat there and it was perfect. The weather was nice and we found some picnic tables away from all the chaos. Lily rode one of the big carnival rides and loved it buy cried when it ended.
So when we came across this ride, we tried it again and Brandi and I rode it too. I'm surprised it worked with all that weight on it!
Grandad arrived the next day. It was nice that Lily didn't do the shy thing, she hugged him right away.
They have been having a ton of fun together. My dad likes to sing while he does stuff around the house and Lily just loves that. She likes to sing too and already knows all the words to my dad's made up songs.
Brandi, Todd, David, Richard, my dad and I all went to Christmas eve candlelight service so we weren't here to put Lily to bed before Santa came. It was kinda sad for that, but Ross told her all about how Santa was coming and they left Santa some cookies, milk and a beer and a few carrot ts for the reindeer. Lily was surprised in the morning to see that Santa had eaten the cookies and all.
Christmas morning was funny because I was expecting Lily to run and tear into everything but she was so reserved and methodical. She only looked at one toy at a time and wasn't in a hurry to open everything up.
The run bike wasn't the hit that I was expecting. She asked right away where the pedals were and didn't seem to even want to try it out. Santa scored with the big tub of play-doh though.
After opening presents and stuffing ourselves full of bacon and eggs we went to the beach. I wanted to try out my new rollerblades, Brandi wanted to try out her new bathing suit, and Todd had some new beach towels to break in. Here is Brandi and her mad Frisbee skills.
on "Boxing Day" (as Ross calls it) or David's Birthday as us Carney's refer to it, Daddy cooked us an overwhelming amount of Bacon and the boys went to play Frisbee golf. In the afternoon we went bowling so Rich could try out his new bowling shoes and then to the movies.
Our holiday was great and everyone is still here for now but Richard, and possibly my dad, are leaving today :(

And Grandad gave the best present, a kitchen.
