Lisa...I like the first picture! Heck...we don't even do family pictures. I'm rarely in a picture because it never occurs to DH to take one of me and Caroline unless I ask. And I have never read the instructions to set the timer on the camera to take a picture of all of us together. So...IMO you are way ahead of the game...even with a cranky boy!

If our respective places of employment let us off it looks like we have finally settled on our 2007 WDW trip dates.

I think we are going to try to be at WDW 11/25 - 12/1. We will try to do Thanksgiving with my family on Thursday, drive to Atlanta on Friday, visit the Georgia Aquarium on Saturday, drive to WDW on Sunday and then tour the parks from Monday - Friday (11/26-11/30). Then we will drive back to Missouri on Saturday/Sunday.

Right now I am leaning towards going back to POFQ. It was were we stayed for our first ever trip to WDW when it was just DH and I and I really loved it. I want to stay at a moderate so I think this will be a good fit for us this trip - well unless I win the lottery and can afford a deluxe.

do you have an AP Becka?

do you have an AP Becka?

No. We have 5 day park hopper plus passes left from our last trip that we will use. Plus Allie will be just under 3 so she will still be free.

That sounds like a great plan, Becka! The break in driving will be nice for you.

After watching all of the Travel Channel Disney shows again over the holidays I think that I would like for us to go to Epcot before the cruise next year. The Santas around the world looked very nice and so did the candlelight procession. We have seen illuminations many times from outside the park so it would be nice to see it up close. PJ, do they do the holiday show every night in December?

 

[MrsMork]

Lisa, the Candlelight Processional is an amazing, amazing show! Makes me cry and get goosebumps everytime I see it. It shows 3 times a night beginning at 5pm and I think the latest is 8 or so. We planned to see it Friday this last trip, but it got so cold that I just did not want to stand in line for an hour and then sit in the cold for another hour. Now I kind of wish I would have just sucked it up and stayed.

Here are a few more pictures of the kids Christmas morning.

Here is everyone who was at the house last week. GP, GM, MIL's sister, MIL's brother & his wife, my BIL, youngest BIL, 1st BIL's wife, youngest's GF, me, & DH.

 

[lbgraves]

Here are the kids. The twin girls are with the little blonde in the front. The little boy next to her is the big brother to the baby boy William is holding. They are all second cousins to the other kids...my two & SIL's two boys.

 

[lbgraves]

The GKs got along really well. It has been a while since they have been together.

 

[lbgraves]

Oh well, time to get dinner going. Nothing fancy tonight....chicken, brocolli, and baked potato.

 

[MrsMork]

Lisa, thank you for sharing the photos. Looks like the kids had a good time at the gathering at GMs.

DH is watching a MASH marathon. I am sorry to all of you MASH fans...but that is just not my cup of tea!

I love MASH! If it was really like that, which I know it isn't, I would serve in the military!!!
