Thanksgiving week

We had a great Thanksgiving here. We were just too whooped to travel again after Disnyeworld and I was fighting off a nasty relapse of my ear/sinus infection. Making it to work that week was about all I could muster. I could not even begin to think about unpacking or repacking so soon. It all turned out great. We had a great Thanksgiving day at my Nanny's in Grapevine. Paran Aaron was there so the girls are always excited to see him. That night my parents gave us the best suprise by bringing my grandparents from Raceland to visit us. They had not yet been to our house. I wasn't quite sure if they were up for the trip, but they made it just fine and we had such a good time.

Madison says our family has way too many birthday's clumped together......I don't know what he means.....well maybe I do. I left my name off the community cake becuase I ran out of room.

The day after Thanksgiving we had another wonderful visit. About a month before, I received a letter in the mail from the original owners of our house. Tanya, the mother, asked if while they were visiting family in town, could come and see the house. It was actually a request of her oldest son. It was so neat to meet them and learn how much thought and love they put into building this house. They actually did a lot of work themselves. We found out so many neat treasures about our house.....and some helpful stuff too. Here are some pictures of them while they were here.

The mystery of who all those hands belong to is finally solved

Now that we have met the Moore's they will forever be a part of this home for us. They are such a neat and special family. I think our view of this place is so similar. They dreamed this house up with the idea of raising a family and growing old here just like we do. It is the perfect home!

Disneyworld day 8

Our last day we decided to stay at the hotel. We had to make the bus for noon, and I still had some dreaded packing to do. Kegan had been wanting to go the the pool at the hotel, but we were too busy running around at the parks, so she finally made it to the pool. Funny thing, she didn't make it to the cool big one with the spraying flower. She insisted on jumping in to the first one right downstairs from our room and Madison couldn't convince her otherwise. She is a stubborn little toot! She definitely doesn't get that from me.....ha, ha.

Daddy, it's freezy!

It's a cold walk from the pool, but it sure was fun!

Sadly waiting for the bus:(

Bye Mickey.....We are gonna miss you!

But, on a brighter note, here are a few of Nana's honorable mention pictures from Disney. She sent us a cd with hers. She got some great ones.

Disneyworld day 7

On our 7th day at Disney, we decided to hang out at Magic Kingdom as much as possible.....it was after all our last day in the parks.


First we headed to Toontown because we actually had not done that yet. Kegan found the water and there was no doing anything else for a while. Truly had a blast watching her sister run around like a crazy person as usual.

Ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhh!

That sister is soooooo crazy, Ooooooh look at the water!

That water hit me in the face. Mommeeeeeeeeeee!

As you can see, Kegan had to be escorted out

She was a complete wet rat. We had to strip her of her dress and wring it out by hand and let her run around in her tshirt and bloomers for a while. Jennifer would have died if she knew I did that.....good thing they were at MGM that morning.

After the wet rat dried a little we heard the princesses were hanging out just across the street, so we went take a peek!

This is soooooo exciting!

Hi Cinderella, I'm Kegan!

Belle, I got a bobo yesterday. See my bandaid. It's princess Jasmine.

I love you Princess Aurora!

Silly princesses!

We hung out for lunch and caught an afternoon parade while Kegan crashed after all her princess excitement. Then we headed back to MGM, aka Holywood Studios, to see the Osbourne lights again. The Pepper bunch was there still.

After we shut the park down, we picked up a Mickey snack on our way out. It was yummy. Huge enough for us all to share.....except Ava. "That's yucky, I want my own" as Ava put it. Perhaps her good hygenic manners are why she is sick half as much as my crew that I let eat stuff by the 3 second rule and a quick blow off.


Then, it was time for all the pretty princesses to take a bath and have sweet dreams on there last night at Disney.....awwwww!

P.S. it took me so long to post this blog because we updated to Internet Explorer 8 and it wouldn't allow me to click and drag pictures beyond the viewed page. With Explorer 7 it would just scroll when you got to the top or bottom of the page. I finally figured out how to get back to the old version. Any other bloggers out there having similar problems??? surely there has to be some sort of patch for that.
