Forman’s Christmas Vacation

I’m sure most of you watched this at least once over Christmas Break.  Some network was playing it non-stop it seemed so Justin made sure we took the opportunity to watch this SEVERAL times this Christmas break.It’s sad how funny it is because deep down we all can relate to the Griswolds in some way.  Well this year marked our first annual Christmas Vacation for the Forman Fam of three.   

 

Actually it felt more like National Lampoons Vacation and Christmas Vacation morphed together.  Thankfully we did not have to make a cross country road trip in a station wagon, although Justin assures me one day this will probably happen (hopefully minus the wagon). 

 

But we did get ten wonderful days in sunny Florida to relax and spend some good quality family time together.  Highlights of the trip for us included: (you can click on the words in blue for more fun pics and a separate post)

• Playing with Tristan in the baby pool

• Beach volleyball and playing in the sand

   

• Christmas Eve Service and annual Forman Family Beach Pictures

• Waaaay too much good food

• Beautiful watercolor paintings from Grandpa Chuck for each of his grandkids as Christmas gifts these year.  Thank you so much Grandpa, these are amazing! He is a master artist as you can tell!

• Several rounds of very amateur tennis (our cute little ball boy!)

• Jesus’ Birthday party breakfast Christmas morning

  

• Stockings on steroids from Grandma Jill…THANK YOU for all our fun new toys, clothes and goodies!
• playing at the coolest park ever (again) with Grandpa and Dad
• driving Uncle Tyler’s Truck and Grandpa’s car

• Visiting the Navy Seal Museum

• Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and Great Grandparents to hold and play with Tristan constantly!  Yes, we did get a tad bit spoiled.

• a very fun, and unexpected trip to Animal Kingdom

• 10 wonderful days doing nothing, relaxing with family

I must say we were sad to come back to reality.  Florida was such a wonderful time for all of us to truly get away and be together.  We look forward to many more years there celebrating Christmas’s to come.
