Our Disney Vacation

January 18th-21st

We decided to take Natalie to Disney World before Abigail was born. We wanted to wait as long as possible so she would really be able to soak it all in. We spent Saturday and Sunday at Magic Kingdom in order to not feel rushed and really do everything we wanted. Grandma and Poppa came too, and we made it a vacation! We all stayed together in a house and even had some time to relax! Kristy and the family came too so we were able to make the most of our time since they are Disney pros.

Natalie's favorite ride was Dumbo. Over the two days she rode it three times! She was a little intimidated at first by the characters but loved to watch the parades. Her favorite character was "Quack Quack" also known as Donald Duck. We had a wonderful time, and now Natalie won't stop talking about Mickey Mouse and Disney World.

New Year's Eve!

December 31st

Like most New Year's Eves, we hung out as a family and just relaxed! Since we had Gabriel after Christmas this year, he was still around to bring in the new year. We played with Christmas presents, made fajitas, and watched a movie. Natalie was not invited for the festivities because that would not have been enjoyable for anyone! She stayed up a little later than usual in hopes that she would sleep past 6:30!

Bringing in the new year!

She wouldn't look at the camera because she was too busy eating her necklace!
