We made it!

We finally made it to Disney! Since our park
tickets didnt start until New Years Day we went to
Downtown disney when we arrived at our resort. 
There were alot of people so we didnt stay to long-
just came back and had a nice relaxing evening at
the Port Orleans Riverside resort.

Side Note: Andrew booked us unknowingly in a
"Royal Room"...these rooms are more themed then
the standard Riverside rooms.  This one happened
to be princess themed. It was really cute and even
had golden jeanie lamps for the facets in the bathroom.

Riding the riverboat


The resort had a firepit and you could roast
marshmellows each night... no gram crackers or
chocolate but they did provide the mellows and the
sticks


The resort also had a great playground for the kids
and lots of pools-- it still amazes me that people
will go swimming when its 55 degrees outside!

Gram and Aaron's map

Gram printed out a map for Aaron
to track our progress on the road
so Aaron wouldn't keep asking
"are we there yet?"... and his map
worked! I never heard him ask!

Disney HERE WE COME!

On this SURPISE trip to Disney
we gave Aaron our old camera to
use. He was so excited to
have his very own camera so alot
of the pictures on our trip were
actually taken by him. I will post
under the pictures which ones are
his photos. Here are a few pictures
he took on our travel day to disney.
The kids did excellent in the car!

opening with all the family except

Christmas Morning at Gram and Paw Paw's house

After we finished up with our presents at home we
headed over to Gram and Paw Paw's house to open
more gifts there.  And then later to Great Granny's
house for lunch.  We still have one more christmas
to go too when uncle Trey and Aunt Beth come in
on Thursday.

Christmas Morning at Home

We had a great Christmas morning at home.
We opened gifts, ate blueberry muffins, and the kids
played with their new toys.  Now I have to figure
out where we are going to put all of it!

The night before-- all the gifts are ready to go.  Plus
I had to go to walgreens at 9pm for batteries!

Stockings all stuffed!

Surprise!! We are going to DISNEY!

 

Daddy really surprised me this year! He planned a

disney trip all by himself and we leave in 4 days!!!

Christmas in Lafayette

Here are a few pictures from gift opening
at Pop Pop's house in Lafayette.  Aaron was sick
but did perk up long enough to open his gifts!

Aaron's class party

Aaron had his class party at school on Friday. 
There was gift opening, ice cream cone tree
decorating, and the reindeer pokey!  We had lots
of fun! on a side note i'm not really sure why his
hair is sticking up so bad... it wasnt like that when
I put him on the bus!

Waiting for the party to start

Christmas Parade

We went to the Christmas parade on saturday.
Brooklyn joined us since Aunt Hollie and David were
riding on a float in the parade.  This is the only picture
I got as wrangling 2 toddlers and picture taking just
dont mix well. 

They all seemed to have a good time!

Jesus is the Light FBCZ Preschool choir

Aaron participated in the FBCZ's preschool
christmas choir again this year.  He actually sang
really loud this year and we could hear him from
where we were sitting.  He was really excited
about being an angel too.
