A White Christmas!

Wow! What a crazy busy month!!! We started off at Disney World and so it seemed like the Christmas season wasn't nearly long enough! The kids had a lot of fun this year and really enjoyed looking forward to Santa coming! We had a couple of snow storms so the day before we went and bought everything we needed to make candy and we spent a whole day making some yummy Christmas candy. We had a big change in our family this month also...We have decided to homeschool and so now Lily stays home with Mommy and Sam everyday, which is pretty fun! We are really sad to see 2010 go, but really looking forward to whatever comes at us next in 2011!

The kids 'making' cookies for Santa.


Lily wrote to Santa, and this is the letter that he wrote back to her.

On Christmas Eve we first went to the Nolan Christmas...I totally forgot to take any pictures! We then went to Roger's parent house where the kids had a blast!

The kids opening some really fun! presents from Mammaw and Pappaw

Lily playing with her cousin Allyssa.

The kiddos waking up on Christmas morning (at 8:30...not bad!)

Lily gets gold coins every year and this year Sam got them too....and they were a hit! :)

Next we went to visit with my parents.

After Lily opened all of her presents she told us she really loved all of her presents and was very happy...eventhough she didn't get Hungry Hungry Hippos. Little did she know...

Sam was like "Seriously??? Clothes??" :) He looks really cute in them!

Disney...Part 3..It Never Ends....

On Saturday, we moved over to the condo....MUCH nicer for families with small children, heck, much nicer for everyone! Here are the girls playing with the Minnie Mouse toys Nana and Pappy got them on the dinning table.

Here is the bathroom (super exciting, I know)

The kitchen....

Here is Gaving watching a show in the living room.

That night we attended The Osbone Family Light Show....AMAZING! We had soooo much fun and could not figure out how anyone could put all of these lights on one house!!!!!

Here is our family at the light show...I was really excited to be there!!

Sam...he loves kissing him some girls :)

Lily catching Disney snow.

Sam really loved that there was 'snow' there!

The kids eating the cotton candy Aunt Emily gave them!

Here are the kiddos at a playground in ToonTown.

Disney World...Part 2!

Part 2 of our Disney trip :) We were there 10 days...there are a lot of pictures and a lot of fun!! We went to the Street Dance party after Lily was officially a Princess for the day. Both of the kids were too bashful to dance :(

We started to ride rides next....Lily was most looking forward to Dumbo. She was not disapointed. She loved riding all of the rides, including the BIG rollercoaster rides. If she was tall enough, she rode it atleast once. Such a fun age!

Here is Pappy with Pirate Sam! I wish I had a picture of all of the boys in there costumes!! They looked soooo cute!

Pirate Sam with Pappy waiting to ride the Pirates of the Caribbean. It was a lot of fun too...except for when Mom thought we lost Lexi :)

Here are Sam and Gavin charming Princess Ariel. She could not get enough of these boys and came back to our table a number of times...once stealing a kiss from Sam the Stud!

Here are the Princesses Lily, Lexi and Cinderella possing for a perfect picture.

That night we had a birthday party for Lily who turned 5 just a couple days after we returned home. She had a blast and told me it was the best birthday ever!

Our family!

Sam after he was kissed by Ariel....

The Happiest Place on Earth!!

We just got back from a GREAT vacation! Disney World is the best family vacation! The kids had a blast and we got to spend a lot of time with my family. We flew out on Thanksgiving and stayed for 10 days...which is a lot of Disney, but I could have been happy with 10 more days! This blog post will take several postings :)

Lily the day before we were set to leave taking off the disney chain...almost time!
This was the hotel we stayed at the first 2 nights. It was nice enough....not nearly enough room!

We were celebrating Lily's birthday while we were there. She was given this button and wore it all week. When the Disney cast members would see her button they were sure to tell her Happy Birthday Lily! She loved the special attention!

Here are Lily and Lexi with their Great Grandmas!

Here are Daddy, Lily and Sam our first night at Downtown Disney. We were getting ready to eat at Wolfgang Pucks....Not exactly a pleasurable meal....

While we were there, we visited the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Lily wanted to be dressed as Princess Tiana (her favorite princess).

This was Lily's Fairy Godmother in training...she was so sweet and made Lily feel comfortable! She was very chatty (which was nice bc Lily isn't). Made Lily talk alittle more than normal for her :)

Oh No! What has she done??? ;)

Lily loved this and kept it on .her face almost the whole time

Princess Lily getting her nails done.

Princess Lily after her transformation! She loved the boutique and we would definantly do it again!!!
