Family Pictures 2013

There is no greater gift to me than pictures. I am so lucky to have such a talented photographer as my father-in-law! I hope I get lots of money for Christmas because I'm going to spend a small fortune hanging these around the house!

Thank you again, Neal, for the beautiful pictures!

Merry Christmas 2013

From our family to your's.....MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The Boardwalk & Hollywood Studios

We had such a fun Sunday! We went to The Boardwalk to take a few pictures, then rode the boat over to Hollywood Studios to catch The Osborne Family's Spectacle of Dancing Lights again. There are over 5 million lights and it is AMAZING!

Here are some pictures from our afternoon/evening adventure.......

Ben found a train that he wants for Christmas...we told him we would get a picture and show it to his scout elf, Jack!

I LOVE my family! So blessed!

Frostproof Christmas Parade

We went to Frostproof's Christmas Parade last night. For a small town, it was pretty good! We went with Grandma & Grandpa Byrd and met the Piller family there. The kids had such a fun time watching the parade and catching candy.

Ben was so excited to see his friend, Easton, in the parade!

Oh Christmas Tree!

We drove down to Sebring tonight to find the perfect Christmas tree! We had dinner at Panera with Grandma and Grandpa Byrd, did a little pet research at Petco, then headed to Lowe's for the tree. We let Ben pick out the tree all by himself this year. He was so cute searching the tent for the tree!

checking out the fish at PETCO!

Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

I have been wanting to go to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party for several years now. I finally convinced Jeremy to splurge on the tickets and I'm so glad we did! The Magic Kingdom is fun on a normal day, but it is spectacular at night and all fixed up for a Christmas party!

Since we have annual passes, we didn't worry about riding a ton of rides. We did the fun photo op in front of Cinderella's Castle, visited Santa, watched the parade and the fireworks show. We enjoyed snow on Main Street and free hot chocolote & snickerdoodle cookies! And I can't forget to mention Ben bustin' a move to "Footloose" at the Character Dance Party! Ben's reaction to the event was priceless...after the fireworks show he looked at me and said, "Thank you for bringing me to Disney on this magical night." MELT MY HEART! He can be a little stinker at times, but totally makes up for it with moments like that.

Here are some pictures from our adventure........
