Big Canoe Christmas

One of my favorite traditions every year is to go to Big Canoe with my dads side of the family the week before Christmas and do our "Miller family Christmas!"

This year, we decided to do something different.  It was getting CROWDED there, with only 3 BR and 2.5 BA and 11 adults, 3 teenagers, 4 kids and 4 dogs.  That's not even everyone!

Anne and Mike and Greg and I and our kids got a "Treetopper"  It was SO MUCH FUN and we will definitely do this again, until we sell the Big Canoe House and rent a mansion for the weekend for all of us :)

Our treetopper brought back so many memories, both Anne and I remembered visiting Grandma and Do-Daddy at their timeshare.  Our TT overlooked the chapel parking lot (Greg and I got married there!)

The morning was so beautiful and we got to see the sunrise!  It was FREEZING!

Oh my goodness this was cracking me up!

I don't know why but the tree is really important to me!  Two years ago we bought this tree after christmas and  when we brought it up we had some pitiful lights and a few ornaments.  This year we went to Big Lots (YEAH!) and got some cheapy ornaments and lights and an angel.  I think it turned out pretty!  My dad said it looked like it rolled down a hill and picked up a bunch of pinestraw!  OH I love his humor :)

A gorgeous quilt Mary made my mom for Christmas!  How adorable is that?

I don't want to confuse ya'll but this is "Sarge" our nickname for Mike Brady, whom Brady was named after and my Uncle Walter

Everyone watching.  I love how everyone is in PJ's and my dad is in khakis and a button down.

Macy came up to me and had no idea she had icing all over her face :)

 It's a new tradition to go eat at Fuegos on Saturday night.  I took a picture of everyone with the person to their left and right.

 We had to leave early Sunday to head to DISNEY  but before we left 3 deer ran in front of us... I think there were 6 more waiting to cross.

I love Big Canoe!!  Hope Sarah and Weston can join us next year!
