What to do today?

We were all gathered in our bedroom this morning. We asked the kids what they would like to do, today.

Julia's list:
1. Go to the store and get M&M's.
2. Be in a band.
3. Stay in our pajamas all day and have a party.
4. Go to the store and buy something she wants.
5. Throw balls at teachers.

I promise we aren't teaching her this. We don't know where she comes up with these ideas.

Disney's Year of a Million Dreams

Disney is celebrating a year of a million dreams. They give out dreams randomly through the park. We saw a family who got to play instruments before a show and a lady was chosen to turn off the lights for the parade. The dreams range from small(pins and fast passes) to large dreams(trips,staying in Cinderella's suite, etc). When we were at Disney I was very surprised when Julia was given a dream. While she was talking to Belle, the cameraman gave me a dream for Julia. It was two Tinkerbell pins, one for Julia and one for her to give away. Of course she chose to give it to her little sister. Grace is not in any of the princess pictures because she chose to take a nap at that time.

Can you believe it?

The kids had to start back to school today. I would have loved for them to have the rest of the week off. One of Kristopher's biggest gripes with our county is they don't get much time off for Christmas. Last year they got 6 days, this year 7 days. He has already checked next year and is delighted that they will get 2 weeks.

Zachary was so relieved to get his stitches out today. His hand still looks alittle gross but the nurse said it had healed well. He can now get it wet and let it get air. Zachary still likes keeping a bandaid on it. He doesn't like the way it looks and is complaining that it hurts. We keep reminding him it was his fault and he is paying the price.

If you are wondering why there is writing across this picture it is because it is just a proof. While I really like this picture it is not one that we bought.

Happy New Year!

We arrived home 2 minutes before minute last night. We should have been home by 9:00 but our flight was delayed. That was O.K. by us once they gave out 100.00 vouchers for future travel to everyone. That pays for another roundtrip to Florida if I buy the tickets in advance.

We had a great time in Florida. My sister-in-law cooked a delicious Christmas dinner. Wednesday we went to Picture People and had a picture taken of all my Dad's grandchildren. I will post it once I get a chance to scan it.

Our Christmas present to the kids was 3 days in Disney. The crowds were as we expected but we still had a wonderful time. Grace loved the rides and parade. As we began our day at the Magic Kingdom we stopped at the Main Street Barber Shop. Grace, Julia, and Zachary got haircuts. Not only do they cut your hair but they put paint and pixie dust in it. Since it was Grace's first official haircut she got a certificate and her very own first haircut Mickey Mouse ears. Day one we visited MGM, day 2 Magic Kingdom and ended our visit with Epcot. We can't wait to go back!

Today we just had a pajama day. Most of us stayed in our pajamas all day. The kids played with their Christmas toys and we recuperated from our whirlwind trip to Florida. We are looking forward to going back soon.
