Happy New Year!

We had a great New Year's Eve celebration with our family. We ate snacks, did fireworks, made s'mores around the fire pit and just had a great time. A&A were most excited to be able to make it to midnight! 

This fire pit was my favorite part of our celebration.  So toasty on a cool night!

A&A loved doing sparklers and trying to spell their name with them.

Kinda neat how I caught this firework "jumping."

Happy Birthday!

Our youngest child turns 7 today....so hard to believe! 

Happy Birthday Little A!

Islands of Adventure

We recently went to Islands of Adventure in Orlando, and had a great time together.  It's always nice to sneak away together as a family even if it is just for the day. 

"Pretend to be scared guys so I can take your picture" (Pretty good acting if you ask me!)

This little guy was not scared of us one bit!  The kids hand-fed him a french fry and he sat right beside them and ate it.  I guess he is used to all the people in the park feeding him.

I know it is still winter but it was a very warm day-all the flowers are starting to bloom again.

 Yeah for Spring coming soon!

Love it!

We recently traded our car for a Kia Sedona and are totally lovin' it!  There is so much more room it's incredible!  The kids love having the choice to have their own bucket seats in the middle row or sit together on the back row.  With a stow-away back row, we can't wait to take it to the beach!  (With a blanket down to catch all the sand, of course!!)

Happy New Year!!

Our family doesn't drink so Welch's Sparkling Cidar was our drink of choice for our New Year's Eve Celebration.  We played games, ate snacks, enjoyed company and watched movies all evening.



They tried very hard to stay awake until midnight and were so excited that they made it!  A little Sparkling Cider toast and they were ready to get outside to light fireworks.

After setting off 11 fireworks at once  (kids wanted to make sure 2011 started off with 11 bangs), the kids were off to bed.  New Year's toast, 11 fireworks and asleep by 12:30am!  We all had a great time and look forward to what 2011 has in store for us.
