Cooper & Parker's Blog: Christmas Season!

Christmas Season!

The month of December was jammed packed with fun Christmas activities! Our first mission was to "go all out" on decorating the exterior of our house. It took 2 full days, Bob on the roof, kids out of control and many trips back to Target for more extension cords...but it was all worth it! We ended up winning the decorating contest in our neighborhood! We were 1 of 9 winners out of about 700 homes!!

We also went to Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando. This hotel is one of the most beautifully decorated hotels during the holiday season. The kids had a lot of fun with the Elf on a Shelf scavenger hunt, snow tubing (Parker's 1st time seeing snow!), snowball throwing and ice sliding!

I'd say their visit with Santa was successful. They got everything they asked for and more! They also spent a night at Grammy and Geep's house and went on the Christmas Train at Lakes Park. We also enjoyed touring all the amazingly decorated homes in Victoria Park in Naples with Grandma & Grandpa Geno.

Parker's Christmas show at school was so cute! Even his triplet cousins were able to attend, which made it extra special.

Overall though, the kids favorite thing to do each year is going on their nightly walks around the "block" to see decorations.

On a side note, Parker now has glasses (trying to get him to wear them is a bit of a challenge!) and just had a popcorn kernel removed from his ear! It's never a dull moment in the life of Parker!!

Happy New Year to everyone. We wish you a happy, healthy and successful 2017!
