We saw Santa!!!

Brinlee wasn't too happy to see Santa, although she did go up to him long enough to accept the candy he was giving out!
Here the boys are deep in conversation..."I want an airplane and a race car and a...."
Brinlee was much happier once she got to the play area.
Tanner "surfing" at the play area.
The boys were happy that Santa gave them candy. Look at all their smiles, especially Tanner; is that not the sweetest face you've ever seen!!

Thanksgiving at Papa and Yaya's

The kids decorated a gingerbread house!

I think they ate more candy than they actually put on the house!
Brenton and Jaron making snow angels.
Uncle John helped the boys start the house.
The kids had to go in the hot tub to warm up after playing outside!
The boys ready for a sled ride. I could only pull them around the yard once before I was huffing and and puffing!
Brinlee and Kelton had a lot of fun playing together. Kelton thought Brinlee's ponytails were the greatest, he enjoyed pulling them out!
After I gave up pulling the boys, Brenton gave it a try. I don't think he even was able to move them!
More fun in the tub!

Thanksgiving at Aunt Karen and Uncle Ted's

We tried to get a picture of all 5 kids, but it didn't work. We had to try it a few at a time! Here's Nathan, Brenton and Tanner.
Brinlee being silly with Aunt Karen.
Here is the next group, Kaila, Tanner and Brinlee. Lucky Tanner got in twice!
Brinlee and Tanner having a laugh while reading in Kaila's room!

Fun in the Snow!

Tanner and Brenton building a snowman. They lost interest, so it never got further than this!
Back in the house with their hot cocoa!
Aren't they so cute! I was surprised Tanner could actually walk, he was so bundled up!

Our Day at the Park

We spent our last fall day at the park with our friends, Julia and Lily.

Halloween Pictures

Brenton, the Power Ranger, Brinlee the Butterfly and Tanner as Buzz Lightyear on Halloween night.
How cute is this?!
The kids ready to go to the Harvest Party at church.
Brenton and his friend, Spencer, at their Halloween Party at school.
Brinlee was all about trick or treating, she insisted on walking all by herself. Brenton, playing in the leaves the night we carved pumpkins.

Brenton entered his pumpkin in the Pumpkin Fest at school and won the prize. The contestants' names were all entered in a drawing, the pumpkins weren't actually judged.
Brinlee wearing her cute little hat. I can't believe she will leave it on! Jim would rake the leaves in a big pile at the bottom of the slide. The boys thought it was the greatest thing!
For some reason, Brinlee enjoyed giving the pumpkins kisses.

Magic Kingdom and Misc. Pictures

Tanner and Yaya
Isn't this a cool picture? It was getting ready to storm.
Brenton and Papa
I have no idea what was going down here. I think the picture is so funny.
Brinlee playing in the sprinklers at Magic Kingdom. I left her binky with the clip in the van when we were dropped off at the airport....so she had to go around with her binky tied to a shoelace. There was no way I was going to let the only binky I had with us get lost!!
Tanner eating his Mickey Mouse ice cream cone.
Brenton and Mickey!
The boys chillin' out in Yaya and Papa's room.
Brenton got his caricature done at our hotel.
We all rode this around the boardwalk. Becky and Jaron are there too, they're just hidden behind Papa! You should have seen us trying to pedal up the hills. If anyone was videotaping us, you might see us on America's Funniest Home Videos!
Brenton's finished caricature!

Well, that is it for the vacation photos! As you can see, we had a wonderful time. The boys keep asking when we can go back. I can't wait to go back myself! Stay tuned for Halloween pictures.

MGM Pictures

The SPD Power Rangers, the highlight of our day at MGM!
This picture is actually from Animal Kingdom, I forgot to add it with the rest from Animal Kingdom. Isn't it so sweet!?
The boys with the Green Ranger. Brenton and Buzz Lightyear. Tanner would only pose with the Power Rangers and Brinlee didn't want anything to do with any of the characters.
Brenton and Tanner with the White Ranger.
Brinlee at Pizza Planet. Those of you who have seen Toy Story remember Andy and his family eating dinner at Pizza Planet. That was where Buzz and Woody fell into evil Sid's hands! The boys thought it was pretty cool we were able to eat there. Brenton also insisted on playing the claw game (again, you have to have seen the movie)!!
Yes, we had our picture taken with every single Power Ranger!
The whole gang (minus Papa, the photographer) eating our pizza.
