Joanne, Marie and I listened to an evening Christmas Concert at Epcot after which we watched fantastic fireworks over Epcot's lake. The next day found us listening to Christmas stories from around the world.
Joanne & crew planned a Islander's Holiday Party that by all accounts was a huge success. The Music was by Latitudes.
We, mostly me, paddled a kayak (to which we added lights and moose hats) up and down PGI canals to view the Christmas Lights. Read about it at Kayak Paddle.
We watched the Lighted Boat Parade from a neighbor's backyard. About 40 boats participated. Maybe we will next year!
Kit Moran, a professional jazz and her band provided the entertainment at IYC's Friday night incredible pasta buffet December 23. We had a table right beside the band and Kit asked Joanne to sing a few songs. After Joanne took center stage, Kit complemented her on her voice. Later on, numerous IYC members stepped to lead us in Christmas carols. Check out Kit at her Website: Kit Moran
Christmas Eve, Joanne showed her mom all the Christmas trees at the IYC Eggnog Party. Later on in the afternoon, old friends from Houston, Doug and Cheryl, stopped to visit and share a German traditional pork and sauerkraut dinner. A concert with saxophone, solos and hymns performed incredibly by the choir preceded the mass at Sacred Heart. We learned that Father Jerry's mother was not only a Rockette, but a child of God! The mass ended with Father Jerry walking down the aisle wearing a Santa Cap!
After opening presents on Christmas morning, we shared a brunch at my cousin's house. Bleu entertained himself with empty boxes, wrapping paper and fish now swimming in our pool!
