In my last post I mentioned our amazing Airbnb, but I didn’t really share too many photos of it. It had multiple levels, a koi pond with stepping stones, two pools and the most amazing staff. From the house we were about a 5-10 minute drive from one of Phuket’s most beautiful beaches, Nai Harn. We loaded up towels and lots of sunscreen and headed out. As you will see below, Fitz and Ev had a love/hate relationship with sand on this trip.
Christmas Eve was here and the kids were getting so excited. We made ornaments for our tree and hung the stockings with care. Marcus even got new beard hair!

We got dressed up in our nice clothes to head to church, only to find out that we got the time wrong. There were a few people at the church preparing for the later Mass, so we were able to go in and say a few prayers.

After we got home the kids put on their matching jammies and decorated cupcakes to leave out for Santa.
Then the adults feasted on a fresh seafood dinner.
And the last thing we did on Christmas Eve was listen to Grandpa read The Night Before Christmas out loud.
