Nana visited from NC

The first week in January, Nana came to visit.  We had lots of fun and even got to go to Magic Kingdom one day. These are just a few random pictures from when she was here.  We look forward to her next visit!!!!

Catch up

A few pics from Christmas.  Sorry they are out of order, but I don't think Blogger likes Google Chrome.  Both kids really enjoyed Christmas this year.  It was great to see Christmas through their eyes.  Banstre is till asking when Christmas will be here again.  

Mommy is....Elizabeth isn't...

a slacker that is.  I know I have so much to catch up on here at the blog.  Christmas, New Years, and everything else in between and I really hope to get it done tomorrow or Monday, but I couldn't wait to brag on Elizabeth!  Today we found out she is the only kid in her class to make the All A Honor roll for the last nine weeks!  Way to go Elizabeth!!!!  Wooooohoooo!!!!!!!!!

Winter Wonderland

It all started on a perfectly clear, full moon night in a town called Celebration. A cold wind came blowing in. We could all feel the moisture in the air. As we looked up to the heavens, we couldn't believe what we could see.

It was snowing in central Florida.

The children's delight could not be contained as they marveled at this new found treat.

"Look at what I found!" One said to the other.

They tossed it about,

and examined it closer.

Then thought it would be fun to share the joy with their parents.

The children played and laughed and tossed more snow. Covering themselves, their family, and the innocent bystanders. Their feet were frozen, their hair standing on end, when the tired parents grabbed them to make them come in.

Promises were made to return real soon, in hopes that more snow could be shared with the moon.

Family Pics

Here are some pics we took while trying to get a good shot for Christmas Cards.

Elizabeth's 8th Birthday

On Elizabeth's birthday, she went to school and as soon as she got home we headed off to Downtown Disney and T-Rex cafe. We had a T-reffic dinner among all the prehistoric animals. We sat in a booth beside animatronic Mommy Mammoth and her 2 babies. They were quite loud every 22 minutes when we had a meteor shower. Both children loved this restaurant and I foresee us spending a lot more time here.

After we ate and Elizabeth had dessert and a great dinosaur birthday song sung to her. We went to the Build-a-Dino Store located inside the restaurant. (It's the same as build-a-bear just all dinos!) Elizabeth made her own T-rex and Banastre made his own Velociraptor.

Adding to the fun after this, Elizabeth went Gem Mining and Banastre went searching for Dinos in the Dig Site.

All in all we all had a great time! (Great alliteration all day!)

More posts coming soon. (Hopefully not taking as long as last time!)
