Christmas at the Beach

Margo and Paolo’s family on the beach

What a beautiful Christmas Day!

Perfect weather for the best tradition ever! Are you ready?

Margo, Paolo, and Lucas with sand buckets and shovels

Ready! Come on, Lucas! We can gather shells.

And we’ll start writing.

Dad, Mom, and Paolo digging in the sand
Margo and Lucas collecting shells
The family looking down at the sand
A Christmas message written in the sand
The family singing

Joy to the world, the Lord is come …

Merry Christmas from Margo and Paolo!
