Day 365

Seems hard to believe that I am posting for Day 365...this Project 365 has been so much fun at times and so much work at times.  In hind-sight, I am so glad that I did it. A big shout out to my friend, Maria, for helping to keep me accountable for posting.  I have truly enjoyed sharing this project with you, dear friend!

Here's to the New Year!

Day 362

Today we headed farther south to Cape Canaveral!  It is warmer, but it rained off on and on all day. I only took photos with my iPhone today because I was afraid that my Nikon would get wet. Here is a photo showing some of the outdoor area at the pool. If you look closely behind the palm trees, you can see the Carnival cruise ship heading out to sea.

Day 361

The first third of our Christmas vacation is in Daytona Beach.  We cashed in some timeshare points that were going to expire on the 31st, and we spent two nights at the Wyndham Ocean Walk.  Here is the view from our balcony looking down the beach...

Day 355

This afternoon we took the girls to see The Nutcracker Ballet performed by the NC School of the Arts.  This is the third year that we have attended, and it is a wonderful tradition.



We enjoyed a delicious lunch beforehand, and then we headed downtown.  Everyone looked so wonderful dressed up! The girls are just beautiful, and they behaved so well.

I love that this is a tradition that helps to honor Emma's Russian heritage!

Day 342

Today was the day that we built a gingerbread house!

When we opened the box, a few of the house pieces had broken so I tried to glue them back together with icing.  We got the house put together, and Emma started decorating it with candy.  Then it just collapsed!

Emma and Brendan didn't seem to mind too much! This is the first year that the kids have actually gotten to eat the gingerbread house!  They thoroughly enjoyed their afternoon dessert.
