Disney world

So we went to Disney world at the beginning of the month and it we had an AMAZING time. It was so much fun to have a family vacation and be able to spend time with Mackenzie, Richard, and Spencer. We had an amazing room with a beautiful view in the Animal Kingdom lodge. Madsen was so excited to wake up and say good morning to all the animals on the Savannah. He was also very excited to go to bed every night so that as he said "I can get some rest and wake up and go to the park and see Mickey again tomorrow". Even Pierson loved all there was to see and do. He loved taking pictures with the characters. His little legs wouldn't stop kicking as he got closer and closer to the front of the line. It was a much needed family time and it brought us so much joy to see our boys having so much fun. We got to visit Josh's cousin Cami, Jon, and Ty on the way home. Even though it was a overcast and windy we decided to go walk on the beach. Madsen finally got to go find seashells on a real beach. He had so much fun with Ty, they are best cousins and can't wait to see each other again.

The amazing view from our room.

So excited to drive the car himself

Poor kid didn't understand why the rides had to be over.
This is the way he looked at the end of almost every ride.

Christmas time!

Its time to start celebrating my favorite holiday out of the year. We got an earlier start and put up our Christmas tree a couple days before thanksgiving. I love how excited Madsen is getting for Christmas this year as he's finally old enough to fully understand what's going on. He loved putting up the tree and decorating it. I can't wait until we start putting up the rest of our decorations and especially the Nativity scene. I know that the story of our Saviors birth will mean a lot to him and he is ready to know why this is such a special season. It is a season that is filled with love from family and friends. I love the feeling of closeness between everyone. I especially love sending and receiving Christmas cards. It is so nice to be able to see pictures of everyone and enjoy hearing a little bit of what's been going on in their lives. I love using all the cards I get as Christmas decorations as well. We always make a christmas card tree on our wall and enjoy seeing our friends everyday. So for all of you who love Christmas cards too, you'll be excited to hear that shutterfly has a special going on for bloggers. If you blog about why you love their Christmas cards, and put it on your blog, they will give you 50 cards free!!! They have so many different designs its so hard to choose which one I like the best. But I finally narrowed it down to the Family Wall Red Christmas Card. I love the collage look, since it’s always hard for me to choose just one picture that’s perfect and this way I can include even more pictures of my cute kids. So for all of you who love Christmas cards too take this opportunity to get some really cute cards and don't forget to send me one :) They also have other cards like baby announcements for those of you who are about to have babies. Once again they are super cute designs.
