It’s still hot under the Florida sun for the spectators who are trying to stay cool under the umbrellas. Emily sat out the first half because she got ant bites all over her legs right before the game started.

Today Emily turned 10 years old. We spent the day doing what she wanted to do: we went to see the movie The Rise of the Guardians, which they all liked; we ate at Five Guys Hamburgers; and finished it all off with cake at home. She’s going to have a slumber party with some of her friends in a few weeks to celebrate with them.
We spent the afternoon at Lake Eola in downtown Orlando feeding the swans and ducks. We took some old bread and broke it up, and fed it to the animals. Emily and Izzy had fun throwing the bread and seeing the birds catch it in the air. Once the bread was gone, we spent the rest of the afternoon on the playground.
The newly decorated tree had a ton of presents for the girls for when they arrived. They dug through the stockings while I made a traditional Christmas dinner: handmade pizzas. Once they were done we started opening presents. Abby’s favorite gift was her oboe earrings that I gave her. Emily fell is love with the Furby and Izzy was tearing open her My Little Pony Castle the minute she ripped the wrapping paper off.
