The Holidays!!: Dance Tournament Edition

We started the holiday with a quick hop over to Biloxi to visit my grandparents ! They're adorable.  Feel free to "oooh" and "aaah" at will.  We hung out at their house during the day: gumbo, birthday cake and of course B&E's wedding video. CHECK! 
Then we dined at the Beau Rivage... twas beautiful!



Then all of a sudden we were back at the lake.   We spent the next few days getting ready for Christmas... meaning B&E did a lot of cooking while I made sure there was plenty of lounging happening.

The 23rd was Dad's real birthday (we threw him a big surprise party on the 18th) so we resurrected what was left of his cake and did it again!

Our makeshift 6 since the first was devoured!

 Then all of a sudden it was Christmas eve...




And the stockings were hung on the antlers
with care...






My gift tower from B&E!
Bennett rocking some chinese slippers!

Dad SHOCKED at the cutting board he picked out for himself!


 
 Then I made these...

With this...



Then the family started arriving for the festivities of Christmas day!  I made Grand Bet a cape... because she's our family super hero.  It was a hit ! I was so pumped. She wore it all day, and is obligated to wear it every time she comes out to the lake house.

She was very hesitant to open ...
but she got there!!


SUPER GRAND BET!!!


Then it was time for the first ever family dance tournament on the Kinect complete with a bracket.  Let's just say this was definitely a highlight of the day...   it was open to all ages....and all ages participated.  We started out of battle mode for the first two rounds.  The final round was regular dance mode to a song of your chooosing...




My victory bracket :o)


And to all... a GOOD NIGHT !
