Christmas on the Beach, Part 1

We have the special blessing of spending Christmas on the beach with the Hart side of the family this year. Because of the Air Force, we haven't spent many Christmases together. Great-Grandpa and Grandma C gifted us all with a big beach house in Alabama for the week so we can all be together, all the time! It's been fun, cooking, playing games, playing on the beach, watching movies and enjoying time together! Since my sister and I were born, I think this is the very first Christmas that my family has ever traveled away from home for the holidays. We feel very honored that they wanted and were willing to come to our side of the country.

All 6 cousins together on the beach.We adults like to be together, too, but the kids are really enjoying the special time!

Especially the 3 boys.
In spite of the cooler weather, they braved the waves together.
And got SOAKED! But they loved it!
Since they were getting soaked in their clothes, we decided to just let them put on their suits and brave the weather in proper beach gear.

The Mentos Geyser!

More beach fun...





More fun to come...
