Back to DisneyWorld......

In November we took off for another trip to DisneyWorld, yes this was our third trip as a family. This time it was packaged as a 5th birthday present for Katie and once again we had a great time. The above picture was from our last day while on the ferry to the Grand Floridian for breakfast, it's one of my favorite pictures of all time.
Another favorite, Katie on the railroad that goes around the the Magic Kingdom.
Nat and Katie on Dumbo.
Katie in front of the giant Christmas tree at Pop Century, the hotel we stayed at during our visit.
Katie in front of Main St. USA, all decorated for Christmas!
Katie at the Bibbity-Bobbity Boutique, this time she chose to be made-up like Mulan.
Beautiful.
Mulan was very excited to see her too!
At Animal Kingdom.
Katie with Mater and McQueen.
Katie and Minnie Mouse.
For this visit I booked an "extra", tickets to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. It was a late night, but we got a few extra special treats, one of which was meeting Santa himself!
How about this luck, we waited in line to see Santa for over an hour and were treated to some amazing fireworks right as it was our turn to meet the big guy. The pictures are amazing and I'm sure not too many people have pictures of themselves with Santa with fireworks in the background!
Our family in front of the beautifully lit castle.
Adorable!

October Snow.

So obviously I am very, very behind on my blogging so I am going back in time to post all of the exciting things that I missed in the past few months. The one BIG news story back in October was the snow, it is very rare that we get snow before Halloween, but the kids loved it!

The picture above is of Katie attempting a snowman.

Cold, but loving the snow.
Catching some snowflakes.

Katie is 5!

Sorry about the weird eye on that picture, I couldn't photo-shop it out?! Anyhow, this was her favorite, and Angry Bird from Cooper!

I guess we are getting to that age where taking too many pictures can be annoying!
Rainbow 5 that we lugged back from Myrtle Beach.
Still the favorite!
