Christmas up and down

I know everyone is busy, busy, busy between Thanksgiving and Christmas! We have tried to lay low and not get caught up in too much craziness with parties and events, etc.  We have been able to have a couple low key evenings hanging out in the yard in our lawn chairs by the light of our Christmas decorations, as the kids run around with flash lights and glow bracelets...love those Florida winter nights! :)   One of those nights we went to a Christmas tree lighting and even saw Santa drive through the neighborhood on a red truck!  Fun times...we are going to miss this neighborhood!

Hanging out with all of our favorite neighbors!

Why are we leaning?  Ha ha!

We also ventured out to Stetson's work event where the kids had a blast trying out all of the carnival booths, face painting, bouncy houses, etc. After the sun set, his company celebrated the opening of their new office building with a "building lighting" that was really cool!  Check out the video...Watch "PWC building Lighting!" on YouTube

This girl can really hula hoop!

His toss was about as good as the Eagle's season...

Here at home, we are packing...and waiting!  We got an appraisal on the house and it came back lower than what the seller was asking us to pay.  We agreed on the new lower price (yay!), but now we are waiting to hear if their bank will approve that price.  It's a short sale, so we knew there would probably be bumps in the road along the way!  We are thankful that we are in no real rush to leave our current home, so waiting is not an issue.  I'll keep you all posted on the progress! Hopefully we can be in the new house by mid January.
