Breakfast with Pooh and Friends



This trip to Disney World was
all about the character meetings and
character breakfast.  Breakfast at the
Crystal Palace is a favorite of ours--
we get there early and are the first in
the magic kingdom so you really get
some good pictures of the castle (note
there is a crane in all of our castle pics
b/c they were taking down the christmas
lights)

Here are some pictures from our
breakfast with Winne the Pooh and friends

Ready to go to WDW!

Here some pictures before we left--
the kids were packed and ready to go!

 

We got regular countdown updates from Pop
Pop and Ms. Judy! They were just as excited!

Disney through the eyes of Aaron

Aaron is our little photographer-- we gave him our
old digital camera last year for him to use and he
requested that it be charged and ready to use for
this years trip! Here are a few pictures from his
camera.  There were alot of monorail pictures for
some reason lol

We are ready to go!

Only a few more days until our trip to Disney! Shirts
are made and I love how they turned out!

Christmas Morning Video

Tent building with Aaron

 

Besides his tool belt-- this is probably Aaron's

favorite gift he received for Christmas.  He has been

building new forts and tents ever since! Thanks

Gram and Paw Paw!



Avery's Dollhouse

Pop Pop found this great (very large) dollhouse
in the trash on the side of the road! It was such a
good find to pass up.  It needed alot of work to get
it nice again (no before picture). Pop Pop put in lots
of work hours getting the doll house fixed up.  We
LOVE it... I know Avery will have many years
of playing with it ahead of her.  I picked up some
dollhouse furniture at a consignment sale-- in a
few years when she is older I will buy some nicer
furniture for it.

Christmas at Pop Pop and Ju Ju's House

Our last Christmas celebration was in Lafayette
at Pop Pop's house.  We at lunch then had more
gift opening! We were able to visit with baby
cousin Jackson as well.



Pop Pop read a story before gift opening-
You can tell Aaron was just ready to open
some more gifts



Aaron received his very own tool belt
complete with real hammer, measuring
tape, flash light, and work gloves!



My dad made these great
stools for the grandkids! He is very talented!
Judy also did the great art work and names!

Christmas Lunch at Great Granny's

 Next we headed to Great Granny's house for
Christmas lunch and time with the extended family.

There was more gift opening there as well!

Christmas at Paw Paw and Gram's

Next we headed to Gram and Paw Paw's house for
more gift opening! Aaron received a great fort
building kit which he loves and Avery received her
very own suitcase with her name on it!

A Christmas Suprise!

We are going to Disney World....again!lol

We leave in 15 days! The kids were more interested
in the balloons but after the gift opening was over they
are really excited about going!

Christmas Morning at Our House

Reading our last advent book
 



Open their stockings

 



We love our fireplace on this cold Christmas morning!

I surpised Andrew with an Ipad (which I bought used)-
He was really shocked- I missed the face he gave me

Mommy's favorite Christmas gift!

Aaron made me a card for Christmas and then got
his piggy bank off his shelf and took $2 out of it for
his mommy! He even taped the card up! This is my
favorite gift of the year- my boy is so sweet!

... I did sneek in his room and put his $2 back into
his piggy... just don't tell him :)

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve we went to church though
we did not last the entire service because
Avery did not want to sit in the big church.

We then went to Great Granny's house
for family time.  The kids enjoyed playing
with cousins and eating lots of snacks.
