Day 3- Chill time at the Resort


We all went and played mini golf in the afternoon- Todd of course kept getting a "hole in one"- so jealous.

As you can see it was a pirate theme-






All the cousins- 16 total- also did some coloring that day!


It was so fun seeing all of them all together. They are all getting so big!

Day 2 at Magic Kingdom

That night my parents bought us tickets for the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. The park closes and only those who have the separate ticket get in and the lines are so much shorter. There are different shows that are going on, we watched Mickey's Twas a Night Before Christmas, it was so cute. And they give away free hot chocolate and cookies.
Ally riding on Cinderella's Carousal- you can tell by her face, she loved it!!
Riding on the teacups, we had so much fun hanging out with you Grandma!!

Day 2 at Animal Kingdom


I love Kylie's face in this picture- she was having a blast. This was also one of Ally's favorite rides!

Ally, Emme, Kylie, Jonathan, Matthew, Nicole, and Andrew. We had such a fun day hanging out with you all!
On the Safari ride- it was a cooler day and there were so many animals out moving around it was so fun!



Disney Day 1 at Epcot


Well our first day at Disney was at Epcot, here are Nicole, Emme and Kylie walking into the park.
Mikayla loved watching the fish in the aquarium in The Living Seas exhibit.
The sharks from Finding Nemo
Ally and I were waiting while we did a parent/child swap for the ride Soarin'- very fun ride and Ally was tall enough to ride this year! She loved it!
The girls and I stopping to take a picture while visiting the different countries in the World Showcase at Epcot.
The one thing Emme wanted to do was to meet Mulan and get a picture with her. Well as soon as we walked over to China she came out like 10 minutes later and so the girls were able to meet her and get that picture with her and Mushu.



My parents took us to Germany for dinner that night- so yummy! Thanks again- it was so good!! This is my older brother Josh and my mom.
The German performance. They played a polka dance and all the kids went down and danced!


After the dinner we saw a Candle Light Processional- different Choirs in the area sing and a celebrity reads the story of the birth of Christ. It really puts me in the Christmas mood after watching this show and listening to the narration.

Decorating for Christmas

Decorating for Christmas...


The girls wearing some decorations- these two gals are so silly!
Mikayla checking out the tree- she loves the lights!

Mikayla is 7 months old today!

Crazy to think she is already 7 months old! She has started to get up in her knees to try and crawl. She loves to eat all different kinds of food and she has started eating cheerios. She is trying to sit, but still needs to work on that a little bit. She loves to chew on anything and everything- maybe some teeth will pop through soon! :)

Mikayla loves to play peek-a-boo- love the giggles in this video!

She is beginning to crawl....

Some Fall pictures...


Playing in the leaves!


We have been enjoying the fall by playing outside in the leaves and enjoying the cool weather!


We had a bonfire with our Care Group- I ate the best smore that I have ever eaten- (thank you Ashley) Graham Cracker, marshmallow and Ghiradelli Peppermint Chocolate- so yummy!
It kinda looks like she is sniffing her finger in this picture- but I wanted to put a picture of her in her adorable hat my sister Bethany made for her! I will have to take another one soon! It is too cute on her!
Kylie trying to avoid the camera- mom is too fast for ya girly! :)
Sweet Emme- always smiles for the camera! :)
Our fire pit Todd made-
Cute Allyana!
