Christmas Morning

On Christmas morning I woke up very sick with a 103 fever, but wanted to see Sarah open her presents. We have a few pictures but not many. Sarah opened her presents from Santa, then went over to Babi & Papa's for Christmas lunch. I really don't remember very much from this day except for Sarah had a blast playing with her car that Santa brought her.

Birthday Cake For Jesus

A tradition we have in our house is to make a Birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas Eve. Sarah had a blast decorating, and eating the chocolate icing.

Walt Disney World

The week of Christmas we took Sarah to Disney World for a early birthday present. She had a blast. She loved riding Dumbo, the carousel, It's a small world, and the Winnie the Pooh ride.

We had fun visting Minnie's House!

Riding the carousel with Daddy! We must have rode this ride at least 3 times.

The highlight of our day was we had reservations at the Crystal Palace for lunch. This is character dining with all the Winnie the Pooh characters. Sarah loved this! The food was amazing!

We had a wonderful time at Walt Disney World. Before we knew it, it was time to get home and celebrate Christmas.

Christmas Brunch

Sorry it's been so long since I have updated with new pictures. The month of December was filled with brunch at San Jose Country Club with Santa, Walt Disney World, decorating a Birthday cake for Jesus, Christmas with Jenny's parents, and Christmas with Karl's parents. We had a wonderful season of celebrating the true meaning of Christmas Jesus Christ.

Sarah and cousin Parker are very close. They have the same likes and dislikes and get a long very well. It was an exciting way to start December. I was not too surprised, but Sarah did not want to get her picture taken with Santa. She loved standing in line waving and saying Hi to him, but did not want to get too close. Oh well, there is always next year!

Trying to get 3 kids under the age of 4 to pose for a picture and smile for the camera is impossible to do. But I think we did pretty well.

Thanksgiving & More

We went to Jacksonville for Thanksgiving this year. Had lots of fun. Karl ran in his first 6K race Thanksgiving morning, ate lots of turkey, played with cousin Ethan & Parker, and got our Christmas pictures taken.

Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Yia Yia & Papa's Visit

Yia Yia, Papa, Aunt Katie, Ethan and Parker came to Gainesville a few weeks ago for a visit. We decided to go back to the horse farm. It was nice and cool! Sarah, Ethan, and Parker enjoyed feeding the horses. We enjoyed them coming for a visit.
