We got to meet up with the Updike's today at Downtown Disney and David and Sophia had a blast with Mac and Belle, even though it felt like 5 degrees outside!

We were a bit disappointed that the Lego place had closed the outdoor area but that didn't stop the kids from having fun in the stores!

We wished they lived closer-always so much fun to see them!

MICHIGAN TRIP

We landed in Michigan today and were so excited that there was still snow on the ground!

I think we were at my mom and dad's about 10 minutes before the kids couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go outside. Problem was we have no winter clothes and my sister Diana had the coats and boots for us. She was supposed to be over early but my other sister Shawn took a fall while walking her dog Spankey and wound up at the hospital with a broken foot.

So Diana was at her aid and we had no winter jackets and boots. Was that stopping my kids-NO WAY!

So outside we went and David was in his glory as Grandpa showed him how to use the snowblower! :)

So great to be around family!

Merry Christmas Everybody!

Well the day has finally arrived and luckily the kids slept until 7:15 (well, Sophia did and then woke up David)!

They are playing with toys now and enjoying the morning and I'm cleaning up the mess! That Santa is not very neat! :)

SANTA!

We finally got the kids to see Santa today! We were supposed to go last week after David's 6 year check up but found out he had strep throat and had to go straight home!

Anyway, the kids told Santa what they wanted-David asked for a power screwdriver and Sophia asked for sunglasses! :)

All I want is some peace and quiet and alone time with my husband-good luck, right!

OUR MAGICAL DAY!

We actually took David out of school yesterday to go have a family day at Disney after receiving passes from a good friend. We didn't even tell the kids where we were going-we just pulled into the park.

We all had such a blast! David loved Thunder Mountain and Buzz Lightyear (again) and Sophia was tall enough to join us on Thunder Mountain but she liked Cinerella's Carousel and Mickey and Minnie's house the best!

It was a bit chilly outside but perfect for walking around the park! Just no splash moutain!

Happy Birthday David!

Today David turned 6 years old and it started off with cupcakes at school and then when he came home we went to Lil' 500 and raced some Go-Karts.

We had a great time and Sophia really enjoyed herself on the tracks.

The gift of the night was from Grandma-this cool helicopter that flies by controls and goes up and down and picks up things. He loved it (can you tell)!

Today was David's Thanksgiving Program at school and I'm amazed that the kids had to sing 12 songs!

David even had a line to say during the program and John was worried since when he was in Kindergarten and he did a play, he dropped the microphone and it rolled off the stage!

Luckily, David's talent comes from me and he did fine! :)

We got to have lunch outside with him after the program and of course that was Sophia's favorite part!
