Beach Bum

After Disney World we spend a few days at Cocoa Beach with the Picards!  Ellery said this was her favorite part of the trip.  She loved the water ...even if it was a bit chilly!

This GEEK is all mine!!

Merry Christmas!!

 Yep ANOTHER Nerf gun.  A boy can never have enough of those~!

 All the grandkids (minus Mason) looking out the window at the blow up Santa.  That Santa gets a round, the last time it was put up on Hannah and Jerods back deck....so she snuck it to the front deck of Mom and Dads and plugged it in while we were opening gifts....watch out it could be at your house next year!!

 OMG..it's the pencil case with her name on it from Hannah, Jerod and Breck...she LOVED it!  Oh and don't you just love Hannah's Christmas sweater...handmade by Hannah! 

 Yep trying to get a good picture of all the grandkids...it would have been a Christmas Miracle....we tried!

 Good old Santa.  We told Ellery she couldn't paint her room ...she had been asking for months to do so...and that Santa brought her new bedding and a gift card to pick out new paint for her room!  That guy rocks!!

 See Maizy's new vaccum?

 Well this boy was OBSESSED with it.  Like took it right from Maizy and wouldn't let go of it AT ALL.  We even tried to turn it off, so we didn't have to listen to the noise of it and he would come over to us with the saddest darn face and say 'noise'.  Oh man.  So we let him play with it for awhile and then took it away and hid it....see photo below to find out his reaction....

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas, we sure did!

Here's to a wonderful 2012!!

We've been busy....

Yep, it's been a while, the last time I posted, I was trying to clean out my fridge.  We did a really good job of that actually...and in the mean time, we took a quick trip to Disney World (over Thanksgiving).  The kids had an absolute blast.  It was such a fun time to go, everything was decked out in Christmas...even Mickey, Minnie & Goofy!! So much to share about the trip, but I'll leave you with some of our favorite characaters that the kids were lucky enough to get their photots with!
