Building Holiday Memories

We went to Dovewood Court with Marie, Tim and Caleb to check out the lights.










Here we are in front of one of the houses...they sure go all out.













Ellee and dad walking the streets looking at lights









Santa and Mrs. Claus came to our street to visit. Faith and Ellee got to tell them what they wanted for Christmas. It was a really cool experience. Santa was ushered in by police and firetrucks, all the kids ran out to see Santa once they heard the sirens. Faith couldn't believe Santa came to her house.

Tis the Season

Let it snow...we woke up one morning to snow in our backyard!! Kind of fun-











Faith wrote a letter to Santa letting him know she wants a bike, giraffe, books, dinosaurs...













Faith loved helping decorate our tree this year. She would ask "right here mom/dad?" before placing the ornament.

Faith waited all day to meet Minnie. Faith loved this character the most. She calls her "Millie" Minnie was very sweet towards Faith-she cuddled her, listened to Faith tell her how she watches her on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and let her take several pictures.










A long farewell hug (we still hear about how much Faith wants to go visit Minnie again)
















The four of us posing in toon town.











Caleb really loving the Nemo Submarine ride!!
He made sure Pooh could see too!!
