Disney Vacation at a Glance

Lots of pictures to go through, laundry, emails etc... but thought I'd post these two videos real quick that kind of summed up our vacation - WONDERFUL!

Above is Kayla's reaction every single time she would see a character - it was priceless to Mommy and Daddy!

Alexis had so much fun and wanted to dance on stage just like the characters. This was taken while the girls were both patiently waiting for a Christmas Show outside of Cinderella's Castle. They were both very well behaved and we all had a great time!

Rosita's Field Trip

A few weeks ago - when it was still nice outside! - we went on a Field trip to Rosita's Mexican Restaurant with Alexis class.... the kids had fun walking there and Alexis got to indulge in one of her favorite foods - tacos!


She was so happy to have Mommy all to herself for the field trip - we left Kayla at home with Daddy!
Learning about the restaurant....

Trying to get the group together for a picture.... including siblings - quite the challenge...
Learning some history of the restaurant

Visiting the kitchen - it was very clean and all of the workers were very nice, we will definitely be eating there again since Mexican is one of Mommy and Daddy's favorite foods!


All of the kids got to wear the sombrero and shake the maraccas...

Happy to eat her taco - she loved it and wanted another one instead of the churro for dessert!



All of the kids had a really good time!
Posing outside on a beautiful fall day!




The kids had fun playing with the beautiful fall leaves!

Halloween Fun

I spent the morning with my daughter's pre - k class trick or treating around the building....


One of the staff members who dresses up every year... the kids love him! Reminds me of my Father in Law- I know he would do the same for the kids.. They just love seeing what he will be!
Alexis showing Kayla her treats...
To the next office they go....

Kayla just waiting patiently for instructions... I can't wait to see how she does in pre school!
All of the kids getting ready for a picture..


Still getting ready- but Alexis decides to pose with Kayla in the mean time!
All of the preschool kids, plus siblings in their costumes~

back in class waiting for their turn at the spin the tail on the mummy... neither of my girls were too thrilled with the game...

Waiting patiently at the next station for the treats~

I love this picture of Alexis... I cropped it from a different photo - from all of the field trips I have been on and all of the class parties, she is pretty shy and quiet (just like Mommy), and this really captures her spirit... she is very observant and always watching what is going on around her.
At another station for a project - making a spider out of plates - she was very excited~

Back at home after naps we went to a neighbors house for dinner and trick or treating since Daddy could only be with us for a little while.
Some of the neighbor kids before we headed out...
Alexis playing the role of a kitty :0)
Lots of fun!

After all of the fun, most of the kids were ready for some down time reading a book on the couch! Me too ;0)
