Christmas in Florida!

What a blessing it was to be in Florida for two weeks over Christmas!  The weather was gorgeous, the holidays were special, and the family time was unforgettable!  

Just look at this picture of a Dozen Cousins…how could life get any sweeter?  
We don't take for granted those 12 little blessings and even though life can get chaotic on the compound, we are so very THANKFUL!



THE RECAP…

Thank you Grandma Jerri for sharing gingerbread houses with the kiddos…they loved it!

Christmas eve at Grandma Munzes.  

Gram set up a gift exchange this Christmas for all of the adults.  There were so many thoughtful gifts and it was a great time of sharing.

Christmas morning at Pop Pop and Mimi's…celebrating Christ with a Christmas story and Ali's reciting of Luke 2, the cousins gift exchange, monogram suitcases for the kids from mom and dad, 22 filled stockings, and lots and lots of LOVE!


It was the twinkies FIRST Christmas home!!!!  What a memorable one:)  These girls are so precious and bring so much JOY to the Munz Fam.  We are so thankful that God brought them through such a rough year and that they are healthy and strong and can tag along with the other 10!  

Everyday on the compound is filled with playing, playing, and more playing!

"Mimi and Pop Pop's house, where cousins go to become best friends!"

This year, the little boys joined the big boys for a trip to hunting camp.  I can't tell you how excited these little guys were to go to camp!  Canyon can't stop talking about how much fun he had and still wants to wear his camo overalls everyday.

What a crew!

These boys are going to be trouble in 10 years!!!

Playing in the giant ball!

Yes, the adults got a night out!  Yippee!  This year, we went to a winery in Homestead called Schnebly's.  We had a great time and of course Jud made it to the main stage singing Karaoke...
Hilarious!

Two new fave's…the giant rock pile and four-wheeling

I absolutely LOVE spending time with these beauties!  Just looking at these pictures brings tears to my eyes…miss you little stinkers!

We loved picking strawberries at Knaus this year…BEST STRAWBERRIES I HAVE EVER HAD!

Monkey jungle fun!  
Best part…the gorillas name was KING:)

Exploring Florida's beautiful hammocks 

S'more making with Pop Pop

Ry and Ali love being the oldest cousins

A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E

Dance party central!

We'd be lost without these golf carts!

Milkshakes at Burr's, trampoline fun, and of course, Eddy and Murphy the donkeys


A trip to Jump a Roos

Most people probably think we run a daycare:)

Again, our time in Florida would not be what it is if it weren't for the best parents in the world! 
Dad and Mom, thanks again for everything.  You both are truly amazing!

Great recap! Such a fun time! I totally forgot to upload all my words too so you didn't have to do all that!
