The Jesolo Sand Nativity~Dec. 26th, 2015

We checked out the Jesolo Sand Nativity this year!  It was really neat, there we around 10 different sand sculpture inside the tent.  Amazing to see all the hard work put into this!

This was the final sculpture, it just amazes me to see that someone actually made these.

Christmas Day 2015

Our family spent Christmas Day serving single and unaccompanied Airman dinner.  We helped set up the event, served and helped with the clean up the event.  A great way to teach the kids to be humble and do things for others on Christmas!  Here they are jumping rope outside the Community Center, while we waited for the doors to be opened!!!
