Christmas Day with the Family

Christmas Eve

A few Christmas Eve pictures. Santa Candy! Chris playing with his Christmas Eve video game present. My nephew David's family when Santa visited. And Anton and his niece Ella.

Movies

Bill and I went to see The Matrix Resurrections with my sister Julie and her husband Dave and son David. B. O. R. I. N. G. All of us slept at some point during the movie. Good action but very short on plot. Seemed to follow in the original's vein, but just plain boring.

Christmas Tree

Our Christmas tree this year. Same as the last few years, we just don't take it down. 😂

Christmas Boat Parade

We went to the Merritt Island Christmas Boat Parade at my old friend Brent McBride's house. It was fabulous! After most of the boats went by, scooted up to John Wells' house to meet up with some other old friends from Civil Air Patrol days in high school, Ken Lewis and Theresa Walls. That's Brent to my left, not sure who the couple is.

Christmas Picture

Just goofing around with Snapchat filters before Christmas.

Christmas Party

Went to a very nice Christmas Party at the Machado's house. Scheduled up a cruise in early February with these people.
