Round 3

Here we are! The happiest family on earth, at the happiest place on Earth!

Again we all had an amazing time! I have had a hard time trying to readjust to "normal" life! I will cry if you mention the words Walt, or Disney, or even World for that matter! So tread lightly!

But alas there are memories, and here are some that we would like to share!

Characters were EVERYWHERE this year!

Here are the children with Wendy and Peter Pan, right after we took a fantastic Fireworks Cruise! We got to enjoy the Wishes fireworks at Magic Kingdom on Mr.Smee's boat with Wendy. Captain Hooks boat had Peter Pan, and when the fireworks were all done, we got to meet Peter! We also played games with Wendy on our boat, and received a sword, pirate necklace, a message in a bottle, and a hook!

We had a great night! It all ended perfectly with not being able to get back to our hotel! SO the hunt was on for a bus....we eventually made it, maybe an hour of so later...but a memory nonetheless, especially with the super helpful employee at the Contemporary Resort!

The children getting to meet Captain Hook and Mr. Smee!

Pluto!

Mickey and Minnie Mouse! The children LOVED their mouse ears that they received as part of a gift basket from Uncle Chuck and Auntie Barb! The ears have their names embroidered on the back!

This was earlier in the day when we happened upon Wendy. The children got to have fun telling jokes with her, since there were not many other kids around! The kids told Wendy that they thought Captain Hook smelled like a cookie, and Wendy thought it was more like a Codfish...They all had a good time!

Okay, I need to go wipe my eyes, and continue with my W.D.W. Depression.
Send help!

Round 1

We did it!
We made it to Disney World, and back!
Now we are working on getting all the photos on the computer, and ready to be displayed!


Below, we are on the bus with Grammy and Opa, getting ready for our exciting day!

Our first plane ride! We all loved it, and soon forgot that we were even on the plane.




MORE pictures to come!
Stay tuned!

O Christmas Tree...

The time had come once again to make our trip out to the tree farm...and it was COLD!
So we were pretty quick with the selection...and the kids had no problems enjoying themselves!

Decorating the tree was promptly started 3 days later,
and finished by the 5th day!

This ornament is one that I made in preschool.

Love the hand painted ornaments that FILL our tree!
We have several that were created by my grandmother, and Will's mother.

Take a look at last years trip to the farm!

~Birthday Girl~

Today is our Grammy's birthday!

We love her because:
She is nice,
fun,
smart,
a snack giver,
beautiful (inside and out),
generous,
has a t.v. with cable,
has a contagious smile,
loves our Opa,
AND
because she raised our daddy,
and we think she did a great job!

HAVE A HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMY!!!!
WE LOVE YOU!

Fun with family and friends

Hey, we have been having some fun on the side around our parts...things have not been all new baby, and school!

We managed a DAY full of activities at Cousin Kamp, (Will's aunt Linda, and her daughter Kate, as well as Kate's kids Michael and Audrey) check out the rip roarin' fun! (My camera died after I took 2 pictures, so thanks for Kate for being on the ball!)

We also got to spend 2 fun filled evenings with our friends the COOKS, they are so awesome, especially since they have 2 TWIN fun-adorable-happy boys! They traveled from far away lands to join us!

Check out their blog as well! (They update their blog a little more frequently, so you will have to scroll to find our action packed evenings!)

Sometimes it takes outside forces to entertain us, but we seem to enjoy it!
