The Lost Post - Photo Bomb

I thought that once we moved and we got settled, I would be a better blogger.  But as it turns out, that's not the case.  Maybe after the holidays?  Yes that's it.  After the holidays my blog will be less neglected.  In the meantime we've been busy preparing for the holidays and spending time with family. In fact, I started writing this post several days ago and I guess I got distracted.

Our Disney vacation was a huge hit and one that came with many memories to cherish forever.  And it may be a new tradition.  We loved it as much as the kids did, and I know that as they get older they will love it even more.  We visited Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom and Epcot as well as Downtown Disney.  Kennedy was amazed by the fireworks at Magic Kingdom and loved the flying Dumbo ride.  There was a "dance club" where she was able to dance with Chip and Dale and she had so much fun.  Her favorite part of Epcot was the music in each country.  Downtown Disney was full of excitement.  They had several bands playing Christmas songs.  One female group was dancing and singing in an area of fake grass.  It was a good wide open space and the crowd was far enough away, so I let Kennedy get out to show her moves.  She shook her little butt for all of Downtown Disney to see.  She was adorable and everyone thought so.  She danced and danced, running around like a maniac.  She attracted quite a crowd and before you knew it she was partying it up with a huge group of kids. 

Last weekend we attended our niece and nephew's holiday church performance.  Kennedy was a huge hit before the show.  She ran the halls of the church giving everyone her big grins and giggles.  Then she hugged and kissed a little girl, who hugged her back.  Then she kissed a boy.  Twice.  In church.

She hammed it up at the mall yesterday.  Everyone was stopping to talk to her or tell me how adorable she is.  Even during the 40 minute wait to see Santa.  But then once we put her and Caleb on Santa's lap, she saw it as an opportunity to get off his lap and run.  So the photo is of Caleb pouting and Kennedy trying to escape.   Photos of this to come in the Christmas post.

And here are the Disney photos you've been waiting for I've been promising.  And thanks to Blogger, they are no longer in order.  Or maybe that was my computer's fault.

Fake Sneezes are Funny

Apparently fake sneezes are like, the funniest thing. EVER.  At least according to Kennedy.  This all started today when I was reading The Littlest Reindeer to her.  She was cracking up when the man in the moon sneezed and blew Santa's sleigh around.  And she kept laughing every time I did it after that.

We also attempted round two of Santa yesterday.  It went much better.  Santa wasn't grumpy, which made for a much more interested Kennedy.  I have to admit.  It was an outdoor mall, and it was 83* out.  If I was Santa, I would have been grumpy!  But it went well.

I promise.  Regular blogging will resume after the holidays.  Until then you're just going to continue to get cute pictures of her.  I'm sure you're all okay with that.

Let the Festivities Begin!

I couldn't be more excited about the holiday season.  I'm doing everything I can to pack it full of traditions and memories!  This weekend included getting our Christmas tree, seeing the Christmas show at a local outdoor mall, and visiting Santa!  I'll let the pictures do all the talking.

I just need a little nap before we go find the perfect tree.

Mommy says there's something wrong with buying a tree in the parking lot of Home Depot.  But I'm okay with it.

Can we get a 12 foot one?

That one looks perfect mom.

Enjoying the Christmas show with mommy, daddy and Grandma.

This is so fun daddy! I love Christmas lights.

Hey daddy, can we make our tree look like that?

I'm not so sure about this cold white stuff!  What did you call it again?

I can't wait to meet Santa!

Do you think he'll like my outfit?

Is the line almost over mama?

Look mama, my hand is almost as big.

Daddy, can we get a pet polar bear?

How come our Christmas tree doesn't look like this at home?

I like this stuff better than last night, it's not cold!

I didn't think Santa would be so grumpy mama, can we find a happier one?
