Presents

My sister Jodi also sent Michael a remote-control car which he loves, especially when he figured out the remote control for it. This is a picture of him before realizing the remote. Grammy & Granddad gave Brittany & Michael a coloring easel....well....Michael just climbed right into it. It's his very own tent!

Our little Princess

For Christmas, Brittany received a "dress-up" outfit from my sister, Jodi. Well, it was quite the hit with her! She loves it, and wears it most of the time now. Michael was curious, so he put on the crown, purse and magic wand (he didn't like the shoes).

She is showing off the jewlery.

Building train tracks...

These are pictures of the kids building their own train track. We knew Michael enjoyed figuring out things, but it was a surprise to find Brittany enjoyed putting things together too! They do this periodically now and for some reason they find the hallway is the best place for a track!

Disneyland during Thanksgiving...

So, we are a week away from Christmas and I finally have some free time to post some pictures from Thanksgiving, family reunion and Disneyland (all in the same week).

Michael loves bears and stuffed animals, especially Pooh. While Lynn and Krista watched Brittany and Michael for us (so we could go on a big ride), they killed the time by going into a store. Apparently, Brittany and Michael made themselves comfortable.

We love this picture!

Here we are waiting for the Christmas Parade to begin....

Alyson and Lindsay waiting with us....

Brittany and Aunt Lynn in the Tikki Room. Brittany was getting so excited about seeing the performance and Lynn had to stand up for her to see everything! The Mathesons at It's a Small World!

Who doesn't love Dumb?!

Brittany with some of her cousins before leaving for Disneyland...must have the Mickey ears ready!

More Disney...

Here are some pictures on the carousel with the cousins.

Brittany was a little disappointed in this carousel. You see, we went to Balboa Island two days before hitting Disneyland, and the kids rode the carousel there. Well, it was a very, very fast one, and Brittany loved it! She couldn't stop laughing and saying, "I'm going fast!" So, the one at Disney was a little too slow for her.
