Christmas in a Hotel

can be fun. So far this week, we have made decorations and "gingerbread" houses. I even brought the kids' stockings to decorate our room. Christmas gifts can be opened just as easily sitting on a hotel room floor as around our tree at home. Is it the same? No, of course not, but we have made it the best it can be.

I haven't actually taken any photos of the kids' creations yet, but I will.

And, whose Christmas Eve would be complete without hanging out with friends like this one? ...


We spent Christmas Eve at Sea World. The majority of our time was with the dolphins as they were a lot of fun and very friendly.
