(I'm overwhelmed by the hundreds of pictures I took over Christmas- four installments coming your way. Don't pee your pants or anything)

Happy Holidays!

We hope you all had a magical holiday! We sure did. I'll post more from our four christmases once I organize all the pictures. We love our families so much. Since we didn't send out cards this year, here is a simple greeting. Sorry for the lack of blogging and lack of christmas cards. I forgot how fast December goes by.

Don't you just love Christmas trees...

I really love them!

Gabe is still in NY. He'll be home Wednesday and I can't wait. Thanks for all your positive thoughts and prayers. This audition season has gone well and he has had several offers. Now I'm ready for him to be here to cuddle by the fire. We're having fun visiting family and friends and we hope you all are enjoying this holiday season.



Mouse ears and family

Living in Orlando, sometimes means unexpected trips to Disney. That's right...unexpected. It makes things even more fun. Wednesday we took a trip to Disney with Gabe's mom and sister along with her two munchkins. We had so much fun.

Aiden was ready to try a "big" ride. Our first stop was Thunder Mountain. He was just barely tall enough and Gabe and I were excited to go with him. I taped him so his Mom and Dad could see his big smiles. He loved it!!! Some of the video is jet black or really shaky, sorry, but at least you'll get the full effect. :)

We were so proud of him!

We also watched the Electric Light Parade. Most of you probably know that I worked at Disney in high school and part of college. It was the first parade I was ever in at Disney, then it was discontinued shortly after and replaced by Spectro Magic. It had been yeeeeeeeeeeeeears since I heard that music or saw the floats. It was so pretty and Snow White and her dwarfs did a fabulous job :)

The fireworks were fabulous too!
