Florida's Tree City

Our little town of Windermere was named "Florida's Tree City". The town of Windermere had a ceremony today. Conner's class went to the ceremony and sang songs. It was very cold this morning when we woke up, 39 degrees. It was about 46 degrees when we got to the ceremony. Everyone was complaining, just a couple of days ago it was almost 80 degrees so it is hard to adjust when the temperature changes so drastically. In the video Conner is standing behind the boy with the yellow jacket and in front of his teacher in the light blue sweater.

Three Kings Day (Dia de los Reyes)

Today we celebrated Three Kings Day. The night before, January 5th we collect grass in a bowl and we put water in another bowl for the camels to eat and drink. We place them by the front door and during the night the wisemen or kings come and leave a little gift for the kids. Some families have a big celebration on this day but growing up in Puerto Rico my family's big celebration was at Christmas and on Three Kings Day we would always get something small.

Lego Love

Yesterday I took Parker to the Lego Store at Downtown Disney. I normally don't take pictures of stores but they had some really cool sculptures of legos and bionicles. Parker loves legos, so we went to get him a small gift for "Three Kings Day" which is coming up next week. Conner is following in Parker's footsteps, he also loves legos but he could not go with us because he believes in the Three Kings, like Santa Claus. We are looking forward to visiting Lego Land this year.
