How we celebrate the holidays has shifted almost annually for our family. For years it was dictated by duty stations, watch schedules, and even a cute kid intubated in the PICU. These days the weather and the moods of teens tend to shift how we celebrate! We have never been big on lavishly celebrating so this constant shift seems to suit us.
This year we celebrated the season in the cerulean and turquoise waters of the northern Exuma Islands, surrounded by nature and dear friends! We spent the days swimming, snorkeling, gathering and eating conch, visiting with friends, watching Christmas movies, playing with our one big Christmas present (the new dinghy engine!), and talking to our girl between all of her Christmas parties in France. And perhaps my favorite…having our Christmas lights on at anchor!

| Good times in and around Highbourne Cay! Conch were plentiful and we were able to share with our friends! |

| Love "lights" season! We leave them on for a few hours each evening. |
It was a truly enjoyable, salty, laughter-filled celebration!
Christmas lights on the boat look awesome. How can you find space to store them when very infrequently used? Happy New Year :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are kept under one of the aft berths. We really pared down the decorations and just kept these! Happy New Year!
