Christmas is HOW CLOSE??

Everyone, on the count of three, let's all inhale and exhale slowly.....count to ten, find your happy place....whatever you need to do to not PANIC like I am! Today was the first day I headed out to attempt to do some shopping. I think it's persuaded me to do more of it online. The cars and traffic alone make me crazy. I pulled into a tight spot today in my car and thought for a second I might have to choose which car I clip while parking. Low and behold, parked to my right a BMW and to my left a shiny Mercedes........luckily I squeezed out of my door and managed to get Brooke out without hitting either. I quite frankly didn't care if they had to hit mine to get into theirs. Sad, but true. These are the luxuries you get when you drive a 10 year old car (find the silver lining, find the silver lining....)

I don't have much to say, other than we are alive and well. We did get to sneak down to Orlando during Thanksgiving break. Outside of the 1,234,567 people that had the same idea, it was fun. The photos below are just random stuff from the last couple of months...... some are from the day my friend Annette and I took our cameras out did a family shoot of each other's families. It was windy - but a lot of fun! More family pics to follow after some edits...

This picture cracks me up - Rodney looks absolutely terrified of raising these 2 girls!

The dancing lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios were nothing short of AMAZING - there is a short video below that proves it! And to top it off, Disney had it "snowing"!!

Us taking the ferry back to our car....

Brooke was in 7th heaven. A castle, princesses, Mickey - she wasn't quite sure of what to do with herself!

Ok. If you know what this is you have a sorry, sad life. Of course, I knew instantly what it was and Lauren was THRILLED to be this close to it! Any guesses??

We love the American Idol Experience at Disney. It's a great way to get to sit and be entertained when you are drained in the middle of the day!

Happiness is having a hotel room that keeps your kids - in the other room!

This is just for Grams.....because I know she would love just a glimpse of this little one! It was funny because Brooke is telling me to "get on" because she thinks her horse is going to take off and leave me there!
