Wow! This has been a fun-filled, packed, busy week! In the past week, we have gone to Disney World with my brother and his family, Regan had her Christmas party at school, celebrated Christmas with Grandmommy, had Regan's 6th birthday party with her friends, got Benjamin's head "unstuck from the dresser drawer" (yes-he thought he could fit in then could not get out), Auntie Em took all the kids to the movies, and celebrated Regan's actual birthday. We have had a wonderful week as you will see. The picture above is my kids and my brother's kids at downtown Disney. I did see one person counting the kids when we were on a bus trying to figure out how many we had. I just let them guess. It was too funny to watch :)
At Downtown Disney, they had a Lego store. They had many things built out of Legos, like this Buzz Lightyear, and it was fascinating to see. I don't believe I have ever seen so many Legos. This was Jonathan's favorite store!
We had a GREAT time at Magic Kingdom. It was in the 80's in December and was wonderful. We actually had to get T-shirts for the kids while we were there. Regan had so much fun riding the big kid roller coasters. Katherine was not tall enough to ride Thunder Mountain (Regan's favorite), but she enjoyed watching the roller coasters go by from this picture spot.
The characters that the kids wanted to see were Tigger and Pooh and the princesses. We managed to find them all and get pictures with them.
We had to get the family picture in front of the castle. The kids (especially Lauren) were little troopers. We went from 7am until 11pm getting in as much of Disney as possible. Mission Accomplished.
At night, the castle was lit with lights and the color of the castle changed every few mintes. it was very pretty and hard to capture on film.
We also, celebrated Christmas with Grandmommy. All the kids enjoyed their gifts. Regan got a cool magnet set, Benjamin really loved his play dough kit, Katherine loved her school bus, and Lauren enjoys her mini band set.
As you can see, the theme for her party was princess.
Her gift from us was to get to go to Build a Bear Woorkshop to make her very own bear. She chose Frosty the Snowman, added the scarf and the song, and chose to buy and angel dress for her kitty (from the same store) at home. She had fun doing this and we had fun watching.
Her birthday party was at gymnastics. The kids were really cute.
Some of the favorites were the foam pit, and the super bouncy yellow trampoline.
Regan enjoyed the bars. It is always one of her favorites. And that has been our week so far. Stay tuned for more fun.....
