Christmas Goes South

We were so excited to spend Christmas in Florida!

On a beautiful, sunny, 80 degree day, we headed out to find the one.

We tediously made all the ornaments from scratch!

Take time to notice the color-coordinated, random, abstract art exhibit Winter did under the tree that includes billiard balls and nativity figures.

A Time to Dance

Winter on stage!

Leaps are her favorite.

Winter and Mom went on a wonderful date to see the Nutcracker Ballet. After burgers at the Red Robin, we headed downtown Saint Louis to the Fox Theater to be carried away to the Land of Sweets!

The Holly Jolly Trolley

We visited the Saint Louis Museum of Transportation and boarded the Holly Jolly Trolley to speak with the Old Man himself.
Winter and Violet declined one on one seating.
