It's Christmas! And instead of doing presents for every single person, a few years ago we decided each family would do fun Christmas Games with money as the prize! It's something we look forward to every year. There's always big laughs and lots of rivalry.

Merry Christmas! We're happy the whole Michigan (and extended) family is here to celebrate in Florida with us! We got a huge rental house so we can all be together for the holiday!

Christmastime with the family in Florida - 2025/12/23
Happy Christmas! Every year we flip flop between families for Christmastime, and this year it's time to hang out with the Michigan family. Except it's really cold in Michigan. A better idea would be for everyone to come out to Florida! Since we can't squeeze 16 people into the RV, Theresa was looking months and months in advance for a rental house to hold us all. The family has gotten even bigger since the last time we did this, so we're heading to a new rental resort a little further from Disney, but closer to our RV. Welcome to Windsor Island Resort!

Getting ready and leading up to Christmas! 2025/12/24
Took a bit of a break around the holidays, but I'm starting to get back into our write-ups.
Here's a look at a few of the things we did to get into the Holiday spirit.
We love how some of the smaller towns have decorated their areas for the season.

Eat the Movies - Home Alone - 2025/12/13
It's the Christmas Season so that means we're watching all our favorite holiday movies. And there's one Christmas movie that is always on the top of my list. I think I was just the right age when it came out for me and my brothers to be obsessed with it.
Home Alone is always a blast to watch! But we've watched it many many times already. How can we make it special?
Luckily my brother and his wife just got back from a trip to Vegas where they learned about a dining experience called Fork n' Film where they have themed dinners set to movies. That sounds like an awesome idea! We could totally do that! We're in a hotel room tonight because T had a free night expiring. And Jacob also grabbed a room and decided to be a part of the fun too!

2025 Christmas Season - Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra at the Della Phillips Pavillion - 2025/12/12
It's the holiday season and it's time to get into the spirit! One of the things we all love to do (but Theresa especially) is go to a holiday concert! Hearing a live orchestra play Christmas music just gives you a special feeling.
Fortunately for us, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra has two different concerts in two different parks leading up to Christmas!
