Christmas in Florida 2011

Well it's been over 10 months since I have posted anything on my blog.  In fact the last post on our blog was from Andy.  We have done a lot and I feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of stuff that I want to catch up on, but today I decided to just do it...

So here goes.

Way back in December 2011...

We went up to Orlando to see all the Christmas decorations at Downtown Disney and some of the resorts.

First stop was Downtown Disney, where we met the real Santa Claus.

Next stop was the Grand Floridian Resort.  We heard that they had a life size ginger bread house, so of course we had to go see it, and of course it was amazing.  As soon as we walked into the resort we could smell the wonderful gingerbread.

 Inside the gingerbread house they were selling the shingles.  Each shingle has a chocolate layer on the bottom side of it, so obviously we had to buy one and try it out.  It tasted like gingerbread... haha.

On the second level there was a band playing Christmas music

There was smoke coming out of the chimney!

Can you believe that it's December?

Next stop was the Yacht Club Resort.  They had a Christmas town display with a train going through it.

The Yacht club resort has the coolest pool.  You can climb to the top of this ship and then take a water slide down to the pool.

This is at the Boardwalk Inn Disney Resort.  Brayden lost his shoe on the boat ride over to this resort, luckily on our way back we rode on the exact same boat and found his shoe!

From the Yacht Club we got on a ferry to the Boardwalk Inn Resort

Wow, writing this post has made me miss Florida so bad! Who wants to spend Christmas in Florida with us sometime?
