more snow in Celebration, Florida after our day in Gatorland!


Out of order pics...sorry! Gatorland on Dec. 23...




the smiley pic is blurry...but Connor listened closely to whatever the King was saying en Espanol, and kept shaking his head yes!



Gatorland in the 70's and Gatorland now...notice I didn't touch the snake either time! Just the gator tail! Funny!


With Santa in Florida...he didn't understand why Santa would not give him the Northwest Jets he wanted right then and there...you see....


we send mixed messages to our kids so often and forget that they remember everything!

Last year at the NATO Christmas party...Santa gave Connor a wrapped present (an airplane of course) when he sat on his lap...so why on earth would Santa not be prepared again! We told them that he and the elves had to go make them...boy....we were not prepared for that meltdown! I felt horrible bc he only expected what happened the year before!

toddler bed at Granny's...at airport w a gingerbread man cookie and back home in Madrid w his Control Tower and Airport all set up!










family photos on Christmas day...



Web-camming with Mamaw and Papaw on Christmas Day! and opening their presents...



Christmas morning...borrowing Clyde's potty putter...Northwest Jets and airport from Santa...and train set from Granny & Clyde





Christmas Eve...putting out carrots for reindeer, cookies and milk for Santa...the cool Control Tower from Auntie Bean and dancing in the streets!




Pool time in Florida...with his new water bomber airplane of course!


Scary dolls from granny's friend Patricia Ann...thanks Pat! Connor calls them Keira and Tiera! Keira is one of his favorite baby friends in Spain...

He loves these dolls! We did not however bring them back to Spain...Scott hid them inside a desk at my mom's house so they wouldn't come to Espana with us!

Like Grandfather, like Grandson...showing their muscles in their ginny t's!

Line dancing on stage with Granny...he was desperate to get on the stage and so he did!
