The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 18

[MinnieMouseMom]

A couple of pictures before I head to bed. I am usually work nights, so it takes me awhile to get used to sleeping at a "normal" time when I am not used to it.
Leighanna in front of our kitchen "Gingerbread tree"

Trying to get used to the self timing mode on my camera. Today was the first time that I used it, so I had to have a little practice!

Oops! I thought I had set the timer for 10 secs. but accidently had it set on 3. I think this photo is funny because I can hear my DW telling Leighanna she better get ready!

I think Leighanna was getting a little tired of my picture "antics" and just wanted me to stop at this point!

Leighanna is so cute!! Happy Anniversary!!

Hi Kelli. How's the weather? Are you shoveled out yet?

LOL No snow here. Just that couple of days. I hear rain is on the way though and my mom and I are walking in the holiday parade tomorrow night. I don't know what would be worse...dry and really cold or wet and somewhat cold.

pretty!! Which color????

I'm thinking the green. All of the accessories that I have bought are a seafoam green color so it's kind of a theme I guess.

The Christmas concert went well. I thought they all played great! I was disappointed though, I could not see Garrett very well. He was in the 2cd row & not very visable. We took our camera & video camera, but were not able to video tape beings we could not see him Here are a couple of pictures:

This one I took at home:

As you can tell, I have not put up my new curtains yet

Garrett took this one of dh & I:

Wow Janet, I don't think I've even seen a picture of you without a hat on. Another beautiful DDA Ladie. We are a very attractive bunch if I do say so myself. All this kids are beautiful too.

ETA: I just realized that I didn't include the men in my complements, but they are a handsome bunch also.

Aw thanks Deb I do agree, the DDA bunch are beautiful!

Well, we had a busy day today! Took Leighanna to see the Santa at the mall, thankfully she didn't ask for Butterscotch again! The camera was down at the Santa booth this time time, and wouldn't you know that I left mine at home!
We had our family pictures done today. Whew! after about 60 or so pictures we only got to choose from about 10 (thankfully Thursday afternoons aren't that busy). Someone's eyes were always closed or looking the wrong way, but a few did turn out good.
We came home and I took our own photos for our Christmas card (see my new siggy). I thought since we were all ready dressed I might as well do it. Hopefully I can get them printed and mailed out before Christmas! I sure had alot of outtakes from this experience too!

Unfortunately our Christmas tree buying adventure didn't pan out because we received a couple of inches of snow today, and I didn't want to bring a wet tree home, so I set up one of our "artificial" ones. It looks nice and I don't have to remember to water it every day!

Tomorrow is our Anniversary and my Company Christmas Party, so we have a sitter for the night. Hopefully we will be able to finish our shopping too!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Beautiful family. I don't think you've showed off your beautiful wife before

Well, I am almost ready! Shirts are made, laundry is done and most everything is together. I just have to actually pack the suitcases in the morning. I really need to be in bed since I have to take Phil to work in 3 hours, but I am too excited to sleep. The reality of leaving is finally hitting me and I just can't wait.

Lindsay, we don't leave until the 17th so we do overlap. Our plans as of now are:
14th - AK, Boma and DTD or mini golf
15th - MK, MGM, Fantasmic
16th - Epcot, MK, Spectro, Wishes
17th - Unknown

If we overlap in our plans at all, give me a call when we may be in the same park. My cell phone number is on the DDA contact list.

Other things I noticed in my quick catch up:
Jen - Congrats on the close location. I hope that you are feeling better soon.
Tom - LOVE the Christmas card
Ellen - to DDIL as she has to leave her sweet baby and lots of that the time apart will be short
Deb - That robe is beautiful. I think that MIL will love it.
Bernadette - I'll see you next weekend!

To everyone else - Have a wonderful week and I'll catch up with you after the 17th!

Have an awesome trip. You deserve it. You've been planning forever. Get lots of pictures of you and that cute little girl.

I love the pics. You have such a cute family. Happy Anniversary. Hope you have a nice night out. It was our anniversary yesterday but Effie's been vomiting for a couple days and Caleb has an ear infection so we stayed home.

Belated Happy Anniversary. Hopefully the kids will get well soon and you guys can take some time out for each other.

Tom and the Mrs Have a great anniversary tomorrow if I don't talk to you before then. Anniversary, Christmas Party and a babysitter. Sounds like a great evening.

 

[my3princes]

Steffy, welcome back. I can't wait to hear about your trip, especially why you switch from SSR to OKW. My 7 month window is coming right up so I need to decide if I want to stay at SSR or switch. Any input would be helpful.

I guess my P3 is over. Have a great day. I need to pull out the Santa suit and make sure that it is all there as they bowling league is borrowing it for the kids Christmas Party tomorrow. Then more cleaning. I'm also waiting for the medical supply store to get back to me about the special needs stroller that we are trying to get. Now they are saying that I need to bring him there for an eval If that is the case I want to bring him in today as I want to wrap this up by year end as we've met a lot of his deductable for this year. Always so much to do and so little time.

I like your reflection in the ornament.

Those make a great collection. I hope you find the missing ones.

 

[Tammi67]

I also got candy canes and snowflakes. They are called Jibbitz if you have never heard of them before and can be found online as well as in many brick and mortar stores that sell crocs.

Have you found any Jibbitz downtown or did you need to order them?

Great pictures!!! I hate the set up of all bands!! Can't hardly see any kids but the ones in the front row.....works great for first chair flutes and that's about it.

I hope to get a good picture of Abi and her baritone on Sunday at the Tuba Christmas downtown. If I don't get one while playing, I am making her stand still for a picture!! :teeth:

So has everyone found their red carpet dress? I spent last night searching and I think I'm down to 3 options, but I can't make up my mind.

Good morning, Elin! I'm glad to hear that my family isn't alone in the love of the People Mover. It's also great when you just need to think/talk/plan a bit. Why sit on a bench when you can sit on the People Mover? The only problem is that the 5 of us don't fit comfortably in one car any more. What's with these kids growing?!

Beth

We also enjoy the people mover. Chuck likes to see things from above and enjoys going through Space Mountain. We took a ride on it during the MVMCP too.

Are your dresses on models?
