It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!
We had fun getting in the Christmas Spirit this weekend!
 |
| Cousins met us at our favorite tree farm to find their perfect tree too! |
 |
| Found it!! |
 |
 |
| The girls especially loved seeing the gingerbread houses on display downtown. |
 |
| Hundreds and hundreds of them... so creative! |
 |
| The Winter Garden at Phipps. |
 |
| I had no idea it was going to be so decorated for Christmas- this is my new favorite place to visit in Pittsburgh in December!! |
 |
| This cactus was HUGE! |
 |
| This tree has lighted butterflies all over it and was in the water so there was a perfect reflection in front. |
 |
| All 5 of us enjoyed this night at Phipps Conservatory- the pictures don't even come close to capturing how beautiful it was. |

Florida!!!
We had a terrific trip to Florida- I took over 500 pictures but here are a few highlights:
 |
| They were so excited to fly on an airplane- Owen remembers a little but it really was a first for the girls. |
 |
| On our way to Magic Kingdom |
 |
| Classic USA family photo |
 |
| The Swiss Family Robinson Tree House was a favorite on our first day in Magic Kingdom. |
 |
| The magic carpet ride was one of the girl's favorites. |
 |
| Tom Sawyer's Island was fun for all too. |
 |
| Audrey loved all of the cute Mickey Mouse ice cream treats we tried throughout the week! |
 |
| Dancin' the night away with Nana, Minnie, Mickey and Goofy at Mickey's Backyard BBQ. |
 |
| The park was decorated for Christmas- Cinderella's castle was especially beautiful. |
 |
| We went to Animal Kingdom on Day 2- great safari and fantastic shows there. |
 |
| Our tour of the Everglades was fantastic- there is a 12 foot alligator in the water beside Owen... we saw well over 30 alligators of all sizes plus many native birds and plants during our 90 minute tour. |
 |
| All of us got to hold this baby alligator named Fluffy at the end! |
 |
| We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon at Cocoa Beach- their first time seeing the ocean. Elaina had fun building all kind of things in the sand while Owen went in the water with Erik and Audrey searched for shells. |
 |
| A great night seeing the fireworks over Cinderella's castle from Hook's boat in the Seven Seas Lagoon! |
 |
| Another of Elaina's favorite rides... |
 |
| Her love of princesses was rekindled on our day in Fantasyland. |
 |
| Owen especially enjoyed this mini golf course at our hotel. |
 |
| Audrey was more interested in meeting Jake than the princesses. |
 |
| Everyone enjoyed our day at Sea World! |
 |
| The Osborne Family light show at Hollywood Studios was an unexpected surprise- we even had "snow!" |
 |
| Owen loved his day at Epcot with Dad and Papa. |
 |
| Rainforest Cafe was a favorite restaurant- Audrey was especially excited about this table! |
 |
| Enchanted Tales With Belle was amazing- Elaina and Audrey both participated in the show! |
 |
| The Antarctic/penguin exhibit at Sea World was fantastic. |
 |
| The girls enjoyed these paddle boats at our hotel. |
 |
| It was so nice to have Nana and Papa with us for this week of adventure and fun!! |

Happy Halloween!
 |
| The kids all designed their own pumpkins this year and even did a lot of the carving themselves thanks to kid-friendly carving tools you can get now! |
 |

 |
| The girls had fun making monster play dough creations on a rainy Halloween afternoon! |
