Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning (2014)

 

 

It's our tradition to see the Jacksonville Christmas Tree at the Jacksonville Landing on Christmas Eve before heading to the evening service at our church.

 

Christmas morning in our house was completed in two shifts. Laurel wakes up by 6am every morning and Kellisa will sleep as long as possible every morning. We didn't want to make Laurel wait for hours or to wake up Kellisa long before she was ready.

 

For Laurel, it was a very Frozen Christmas and it was another "Wiggly" Christmas for Kellisa. Laurel's big gift was a small laptop so she can complete her (kindergarten) homework. Kellisa's big gift was a new iPod.

Kellisa joined the church youth group for a weekend of fellowship, camping and canoeing at Peace River:

Unfortunately, it was too hot and sunny to take Kellisa out in a canoe all day because it increases the risk of seizures. Instead, we went for a swim and rented a golf cart to explore the dirt roads in the area: 

The youth learning that Kellisa isn't as different as she might appear as they learn about some of Kellisa's adventures:
