have fun! even if it's not the same kind of fun everyone else is having
My last blogpost I started talking about all the Christmas events happening at the theme parks around Orlando, and we have now done the trifecta of Orlando theme parks this Christmas, Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld. Our Disney day was super fun because our friends, the Trislers came along with us!
We had a great time catching up, and checking out all there was to see at Animal Kingdom.
We had some yummy treats like the pumpkin cream cheese muffin (so moist and delicious!)-
One of our first stops was to Moana Journey of Water, the new walk through attraction.
The Italian Montenegro was also good, it was deep fried dough balls almost like a funnel cake with mariana sauce and parmesan.
Another fun park day with Trislers was to SeaWorld, where we caught another show with another HK friend, Emily, and a Halloween buddy, Seamus! O Wondrous Night is such a beautiful show with live animals, and the camels steal the show every year!
We watched the last ice skating show and stayed in our places for the Christmas fireworks. It was actually my first time seeing it. Although it was a great viewing area, be aware, you are veryy close to the fireworks actually going off, and you kind of feel it in your soul.
SeaWorld also had a Christmas party for it's employees and their family members, where we got to have a delicious turkey dinner and meet Santa and all his elves!
SeaWorld does a really great job with it's Christmas time activities. I met up with Olivia, who also just got home from HK, and we watched "The Santa Claus" at Aquatica on the big beach screen! It was so fun, and I loved getting to catch up with her!
Even if you're not visiting the parks this year, the best way to get into the Christmas spirit is by being together. Holli and I went to our friend Bayley's Christmas tea party, where we all picked out our costumes and got to know some new friends by celebrating with a delicious tea spread.
Mike and I felt very in the Christmas spirit, and drove around the area a bit with our Wawa hot chocolates and Christmas carols playing in the car while we looked at Christmas lights. Some houses really go all out!
We also went to The Mongolorian near by, which is a must for any Mandolorian fan. It was very tasty, and the portion was giant.
On Christmas Eve, our family usually gets together at Bethany and Logans, and since we already live here, we beat the rush. We had a great evening having gourmet grilled cheese, mulled wine, mince pies, playing games, and singing Christmas songs.
It's funny to me how much we find ourselves in HK without actually being in HK. We meet up with all our HK friends, and we visit places with HK treats, like the new Bakery 1908. You can find pineapple buns, different variety of swiss roll cakes, egg tarts, and other Asian baked goods.
I was grateful to just get to spend time together this year, especially cause Mike got to go home to see his family in Brockport the week before too. When we got home from work, we had a big family dinner complete with watching the Grinch and doing holiday face masks.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
