Puerto Rico

We had an amazing time in Puerto Rico.  We got to spend a week in a beach house with Ben's entire family (thanks Grandma.)  25 people total-WOW!  We hit the beach, went to El Yunque rainforest, visited Old San Juan, and ate great food.

Henry was hiding behind that board because it was so windy

La Coco waterfall

Sadie talked about drinking from a coconut for a year.  Here she is finally trying it out, too bad she didn't like it.

Poor William got in a fire ant colony.  Ouch!

Christmas Day

Christmas was a little hectic around here since we had a 2:00pm flight to catch to Puerto Rico.  We did manage though, to have a visit from Santa.

Disney's Boardwalk

After making sugar cookies we headed over to Disney's Boardwalk to enjoy the "beach."  It was a disaster.  Definitely not one of our better "Mom out with kids outings."  Oh well, they can't all be great, but here are some photos anyway.

Henry

In the week off of school before Christmas we found a lot of activities to fill our time.  Six or seven years ago I decided I wanted to make Gingerbread houses each Christmas--yeah, that happened once, with my Mother-in-laws help.  Okay, I have vague memories of doing it once with my sister Emily too.  Anyway... This year I decided that sugar cookies was more my speed.
