DisneyWorld: Part 3

 I should have posted earlier because no I am forgetting where we went on each day!!  This was supposed to be with the last post, but I put it with this post.  They have parades everyday at the parks and we were at Animal Kingdom when the parade was going to start so we stayed and watched.  Here are the kids waiting for them to come by.

 That is a giraffe being pulled by someone.  It was quite the parade they put on.

 Of course there is Mickey on his float.  He was the end of the parade and as you can tell the kids are waving at him.

 This picture was taken at Epcot.  Ember was so excited to see Mickey and Minnie.

 We were at Disney World on my birthday.  I got to wear a birthday button all day long and I had to have my picture taken with Mickey on my birthday.

 She was a little scared of Goofy, but warmed right up.

 Here is Minnie!!  Ember loves Minnie mouse.

Here is poppie at one of the places to visit in Epcot.  Doesn't he look happy?

Disney World: Part 2

 On Monday we headed to see Animal Kingdom.  Randy and Valerie came in with us on Friday night, and Brad and Kenzie came in on Sunday afternoon.  Ember wouldn't get in the picture so here is Tayson, Emmee and Brinlee.

 We all loaded into a really big jeep and went on a tour of some of the animals.  Ember got sick on Saturday with a fever and threw up once, but we got the fever down and kept tylenol in her, she did really well.  She was excited to see the animals.  Of all the days we were  there, Monday was the warmest. 

 Here is my Tayson posing for me.

These hipppos were trying to catch some sun!!

I finally got a smile out of her!!

Disney World

 On January 17th we all boarded a plane on that Friday morning and headed to Florida.  On Saturday we went to a Scottish festival and sadly, I did not take any pictures.  We had a hard time finding a parking spot and we only stayed about forty five minutes.  We did end up going to Magic Kingdom that afternoon, but when we put our pictures on the computer something happened and we lost a good portion of our pictures, really sad about that.  On Sunday we went to see the Orlando Temple.  It was gorgeous.  Here is poppie and Tayson in front of one of the many water fountains.

 One really pretty view of the temple.

 Ember was being a stinker and this picture is one of the few that I got of her without her head down. The picture below is of Tayson at the Temple.  He let me take his picture.

 

 After the Temple we went back to the hotel and the kids got in the pool.  It was not warm most of the time we were there.  The pool was heated but once you got out it was cold.  I was sitting in a chair with a blanket over me!!  Brice had just thrown Tayson in the air and this was his landing, right on his belly.

Here are the three brave troopers in the water.  They only stayed in for about forty minutes.  Not exactly the weather we were hoping for.

Grins and Fins

 This was our second annual trip down to West Jordan to hotel that has an indoor pool and slide.  This year was way busier than last year, but we still had fun.  Here is Ember and Gramby.

 Ember is a little fish and loved playing in the water this year.

 Here is Brice and Randy hanging out.

 It's hard to tell, but Tayson is on the side smiling like crazy.  He is also a little fish and could play in the pool all day and all night.

 Here is Gramby and Ember drying off.

 Ember and daddy playing in the water.

 I love this crazy shot of everybody.  Mommy was not in the water, I was the photographer.  I did get in, but no one took my picture and that is okay with me. 

 Here are Gramby and Poppie. 

 Tayson is just chilling on the side of the pool.  The slide is not always open so I think he was waiting for it to open.

Brice getting dried off.  We had such a good time. It is a good little stay over night vacation.

Christmas

 He was so excited he woke up at five thirty, but being the nice parents we are we told him to come back at seven thirty. 

 He got a Green Bay Packers blanket, legos, books, games, clothes.  He must have been on the nice list again.

 Ember woke up a little later and so here she is opening up a kitty night light. 

 She got a Doc Mcstuffins bag, clothes, coloring books, sofia the first, doc mcsutffins doll.  She must have been on the nice list too.

 My mom bought her this dress and she had to change into it!

 Brice's favorite part of Christmas, breakfast!!  He eats so much in the morning he doesn't eat the rest of the day!

 Tayson is loving board games and so here he is playing the game of Life.  We were so lucky to have Trent and Wendy come and spend some of the holiday with us.

Picture is out of order, but here is Tayson with his checkers game.  We are truly blessed and I am so thankful we get to celebrate the birth of the Savior of every year.  This post is quite late, but I hope and pray we can always remember the birth of Jesus throughout the whole year.

Annual Christmas Party

 We get together at my mom and dad's house and have dinner, craft and Santa come.  Here is Tayson with his best smile!!

 I loved this one of Maddy.  I am glad I got one with grandpa in the picture.

 

 Tayson is photo bombing this picture of me and Brice with Santa.

 Kelsie, Hayden and Ember enjoying their treats from Santa!!

 They made these cute trees out of sugar cones and frosting.  Dad is helping Ember.

There is my sweet Ember with Santa.  She walked right up to him and was not aftraid at all.  Then we have Tayson decorating his tree.  He loves when I take pictures of him!

Gingerbread House

 I bought a kit for a gingerbread house last year after Christmas and so here the kids are putting it together for 2013. 

 The pictures got  a little mixed up.  Here is the finished house with my Ember being so excited.

 Tayson loves his picture taken!!  Dad got to be the icing guy!!

Ember sat here for an hour putting on her decorations.  She had a great time.  I bought another one for this year, it will be fun.
