Ice Skating

Brooke has been begging to go ice skating every day for the past month or so and we finally got around to going!

Brooke taking a break with her cousins. Grandma & Papa also came to watch.

She did awesome for it being her first time!

Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve reading Luke 2. Brooke as Mary with her cousins acting out the nativity scene.

Santa stopped by for a visit. Dallin wasn't so sure.

Drew asked for Cars and a choo choo.

Brooke made sure to tell Santa not to forget her Rapunzel dress.

Before we went to bed, the kids put out "Reindeer Food" so that Santa's reindeer would be sure to find our house.

The little bags of food contained oats and glitter so that it sparkled when sprinkled on the snow.

Christmas morning!

Brooke in her Rapunzel dress and wig.

We had a beautiful White Christmas, so we went out to shovel and play. The kids wanted to clean off the cars.

Drew is a good helper when it comes to shoveling.

Dallin enjoys his time in the backpack.

Brooke was teaching Drew how to make snow angels.

It wasn't good packing snow, so we are still waiting to make a good snowman this year!

Dallin's 1st Birthday

Dallin turned 1!

Happy Birthday Dallin! We love you!

Disney - Thanksgiving 2010

We went to Disney World this year over Thanksgiving.

Drew & Dallin's first airplane ride! Brooke flew with me a lot when she was a baby, but this is probably the first trip she will remember.

We stayed at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Brooke & Drew were very excited about having bunk beds to sleep in.
Dallin did well in his corner in the pack n play.

It's amazing how well the little ones adjust and will sleep anywhere.

We had such nice weather that we were able to enjoy the pool too.

Dallin finding ways to entertain himself in the hotel.

Our balcony had a view of the Savannah.

Everything was decorated for Christmas and they had this chair in the lobby by the big tree.

Drew was a trooper with all the princesses and had his picture taken with them too, but by the time we got to the fairies, he said forget it. Dallin slept in the stroller through it all, including the long lines of waiting for them.

Brooke & Ariel

Cute!

After a long day at the Magic Kingdom, all 3 crashed on the way back to the hotel.

We spent a day at the pool and wish we had more time for it. Brooke absolutely loved the water slide and went over and over and over. It was a perfect kids size - you can see it there behind her.

Picture of the big Christmas tree and part of the lobby.

There were several overlook areas at the hotel with these big rocking chairs. We were able to sit and watch the zebras, giraffes, ostriches and many other animals.

It was a fun trip with many great memories!
