Sanibel Christmas Past

Part 3

A Merry Christmas Day!



The Grinch Turtle

Puffin was so comfortable for this shot. :)

This was our little Puffin a year ago.
He has really grown and is a very good dog.

Just a little of what goes on around our house, trying to get Christmas photos.

It was a wonderful Christmas, and the new year will continue to be the same.

Sanibel Christmas Past

Part 2:

Christmas Eve Day we had to say goodbye to Blake & Brooke.  We had such a fun time with them, it was hard to see them go. 



It helped make it a little easier because Blake & Brooke were leaving on the same plane that just brought my Daughter, Donna and her two children, Grant and Amanda.  (Thankfully we weren't stuck with an empty nest for Christmas Day!)

The airport was filled with folks arriving for Christmas.  A few of them seemed quite jolly!

Especially the fella, in black, hiding behind that mask (glasses, nose and whiskers), who said,

 "Ho, ho, ho" to me.

The bags were gathered up quickly

and we were off!

They were very excited to feel the warm, salty air and see the island again.

We had a Merry Christmas Eve at

Tween Waters Inn, for dinner.

Tween Waters Inn Christmas lights,

sure are festive.

The kids were loving the stroll through Christmas lights, wearing shorts.

Donna had a laugh, at a Snowman

 in a tropical paradise.

We went for a drive through Captiva's Village

 to see the Christmas Deco.

I just loved all of the snowflakes floating around.

 We had a wonderful Christmas Eve.

A New Year on Sanibel

I know you've all been wondering what has happened to my posts lately. Sorry, I should have at least posted that I was too busy and too tired to work on my blog.

There were holiday preparations, decorating, and lots of company! :) We had the most wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas you could ask for. The weather was the best ever!

There were happy drives, with blooming trees lining the streets, on our way to the airport to pick up family!

The first two arrived to spend a week!

Christmas was in the air, everywhere!

Our new little Grand Dog came too!

There will be a couple more posts to share our happy holiday time!

I'm trying to catch up, but I'm a little slow. :)
For now, things are all calm again, decorations put away, house cleaned, and resting period has ensued. Oh, I probably should mention that all Snowbirds are back in full force. :) My New Year's resolution is to enjoy watching them love this sunshine. We'll see how that works out. LOL

Another item of interest is the new Live Osprey Cam at Ocean's Reach. I've walked on the beach a lot of times, looking up at osprey nests and wishing I could see inside them.  Now I can, and so can you.  I think it will be interesting to watch the eggs hatching and watching mom and dad take care of the babies. Thanks to Ocean's Reach for allowing us this opportunity!
Happy New Year everyone!
