Daddy's Weekly Dollop - Merry Christmas

Here are some dollops from the last week.

1) He is the reason . . .  we took the girls to the Christmas Eve service at Church.  The girls love this particular service because it ends via candlelight while the congregation sings Silent Night.


2)  Campbell is getting more and more confident with her violin playing.  She played for the family during the Christmas Eve dinner. 

3)  Christmas morning - I'm not going to lie, my girls love Christmas morning . . . absolutely love it. It's so stressful as a parent trying to make sure everything goes right for them.  This year's hit was something we thought she'd like, but not absolutely love.  Taylor Swift needs to watch out . . . 



4)  Packing up and heading to Florida - Campbell now wants to be a singing veterinarian that works on dolphins when she grows up.  The problem . . .she's never seen a dolphin.  After the movie Dolphin Tale 2, Campbell cried for days, "I want to go see Winter" (the dolphin from the movie).  Well, that's what Martha and I got her and Maggie for Christmas . . . a trip to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium to see Winter and Hope.  We left the day after Christmas (Friday) and returned Monday.

Watching the sun set over the water . . . on the east coast.
5) While it was mostly Campbell who wanted to see the dolphin, the trip seemed to be made for Maggie . . .
