Every second year we go up to Canada for Christmas with the Z family - and thankfully Covid started just right after the last time we had been up there, so we were still on an every 2 year cadence with 2021 being the year that we should go up there. With that in mind, we wanted to have Christmas in Orlando with Grandma Bobbi and Grandpa Lyle so we targeted the Sunday prior to Christmas. We ended up with a lovely surprise in that Steinkes were able to come (sad for them, happy for us as they were supposed to have already left for their own trip to Canada but JetBlue's flight wasn't able to take off so they had to depart one day later than expected, so we said "come join us for Christmas!!")

Our day started off with Grandma and Grandpa coming over for brunch - we started off with our requisite Christmas day pajama picture and then enjoyed breakfast together. Then we opened presents, played games, and then we opened our Gift of Time letters (always a favorite thing that we do) before we finally got dressed into regular clothes and then started our preparation for a late lunch.

Steinkes joined us for lunch and more games, and then we ended the evening with a drive around looking at Christmas lights in various areas - the one house that we love to go to that has lights set to music wasn't there this year! We were so disappointed - we hope they do it again next year but we weren't sure if maybe they moved - so we'll try again next year and see. But we still were able to go around and look at other neighborhoods.
