It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

This week/weekend we set up our Christmas tree and got pictures with Santa! We all love Christmas and I already feel like time is running out, and it will be here so soon!

Cohen LOVED setting up the Christmas tree and looking at all the Christmas decorations. I just loved watching him get so excited about everything. Kempton also had a great time , but was a little more destructive! Haha. He was ripping off ornaments, lights and beads off the tree, but having a fun time, of course! In Kemp's defense a lot of our ornaments look like toys and he's never seen a Christmas tree. :)

 Cohen has been obsessed with these singing M & Ms! I don't think Dan would mind if we lost them soon. :) Cohen sings, "have a holly, jelly Christmas" instead of "Holly, Jolly" haha! And I love how Kempton is clapping.

And this one....oh being a big brother :)

Cohen loves anything that plays music and dances around, which is why he loved these two silly snowmen.

 :)

 I just realized that I didn't take a picture of the finished tree yet! Oh well, here's a picture Cohen took for us...not bad! Our stockings are not up yet as we need to rearrange the living room before we put them up and that was too much to tackle this weekend!

Our visit to Santa went really well. There was no line which was great. Cohen was shy at first and kept putting his hands in front of his face to hide. He eventually (after prying it out of him) told Santa that he wants the blue ninja turtle so hopefully Santa gets it for him! Kempton was as sweet as can be. He just sat there so calmly and kept looking at Santa.We bought the package with all the digital pictures so enjoy....

Also, this weekend Santa sent an elf to watch over the boys! The elf then goes to the North Pole each night to tell Santa if the boys have been nice. More to come on that, but Cohen decided to name his elf, Cheeks! :)

Love,

Florida Day 8: Magic Kingdom (again!)

Our original plan for the last day of our trip was to head to Hollywood Studios again, but at the last minute we decided to go to Magic Kingdom on about 3 hours of sleep (for Dan and I)! Our lovely morning started like this...

All the tears were soon wiped away when he saw Maleficent! Haha...he loves villains and loved this show.

We had been wanting to eat at the new "Be our Guest" Restaurant in Fantasyland, but there was an extremely long line every other day and the line was in the blazing sun. Fortunately, this day the line wasn't too bad so we got to eat in there for lunch. (You have to have reservations for dinner, which get booked up fast!)

 There are 3 different rooms to eat in and you can pick where you sit so we let Cohen pick. 

 We can't quite remember how the process worked, but we were surprised when our food suddenly showed up at our table!

 MMMMM...delicious!

 A treat for the big guy!

 Of course, Cohen had to play with his Beauty and the Beast toys!

 He was so nice to share with his brother :)

 This statue was in the room that we sat in, which is why Cohen chose to sit there. 

 The other room was pretty dark, but it was were the enchanted rose was, which is cool

 This is what happens when you take a picture of the rose....you can't see it at all! :(

The great thing about this day was that there wasn't anything we HAD to do. It was anything that we wanted to do again, well anything that Cohen wanted to do again so it was off to drive the cars!

Here's another video of him driving...in his defense I am not sure that he is tall enough to see the road, although I don't even think he is trying to see it! 

 Who knows? What a weirdo!

 Trying to cool off just a bit! I got blasted with water unexpectedly a few times. Thing was crazy!

And off to the Goofy Barnstormer a few last times!

 See Dan in the back?! 

 See me and Cohen's little hands in the back?

 Cohen on Peter Pan...wouldn't you agree that he was a big fan!? 

 Ha! At least he didn't cry!

 As long as he had some toys and could find a spot to play with them, Cohen was a happy camper!

 Getting Goofy's belly!

 One last Mickey's Premium!

 Someone woke up for some ice cream!

 I am surprised that Dan didn't buy an entire Premium for Cohen and Kempton so he could eat the ice cream when they didn't finish it!

 Walkin' down Main St. LOVE these two!

:)

And one last meet and greet with the Big Cheese!

What a trip to Disney World. It was exhausting but such a fun time. And although the boys won't remember most of it, Dan and I have memories with the boys that will last a lifetime.

Our trip wasn't done yet though. We still have a few days at the beach coming up! 

Love, 

Katie
