Christmas

This year Santa found us in a hotel room in Orlando, FL. (Bet ya can't tell who was taking the pictures.)
Sommer had spent many days drawing everyone pictures and wrapping them for Christmas. She drew me a picture of her. Both of the girls were excited to receive additions for their Nintendos.

We spent Christmas Day at Disney World Magic Kingdom. It was wonderful! Temperatures were perfect and lines weren't as long as the last time we went.






















It was even better this year because Sommer was big enough to ride all the same rides that the rest of us could, so we did almost everything together. The only exception was when Elyce and I went to ride Space Mountain (which wound up being broken down for the 3rd time that day so we didn't do it) and Sommer and Duane went on the carousel again and the tea cups. We went back at the end of the night and did the tea cups again as a family - it is truly one of the best parts of Disney World.

















We had promised Sommer that she would see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and all the princesses. Luckily, as we arrived, they had a show that had them all there. She was very excited to see them and that they were "real."



















This next picture is of the Race Cars. Duane and Elyce had their own cars, and Sommer drove the car that I was in - at least she was supposed to be -- still too easily distracted to drive.





















And, since the fireworks were spectacular, we made a video for everyone to see.






We all agreed that it was the best Christmas ever.
