Haning out with our friend Madison!!!




Having our bedtime story...


Sophie and her white dot of Neosporin...



Lucy brushing her teeth in the mirror...


Getting ready for bed
(that is Neosporin on Sophie's forehead from her bad fall at the farm over thanksgiving...)


Oops--missed this one...Sophie chowing down on her apple!









Cheesin' it up for the camera...




We love cookies...well, actually the icing!



Yummy apples!


Getting ready to do some cookie decorating!




Our REALLY big Christmas tree!!!
We decided to go Clarke Griswald style and get a GIGANTIC tree this year...it was SO tall, it was ridicuous...but it ended up looking really nice, even though I was scared to death that it would fall over at any moment! A lot of coordination went in to getting this damn tree up and it was tied down in a few places! Crazy...

Cinderella's Castle--all lit up and decorated for the Holidays...


Another amazing moment...meeting Buzz Lightyear!




The best moment of their young lives!!!
S and L got to meet the princesses while we were in Disney...they met Cinderella, Belle, and Sleeping Beauty and it was just adorable to watch! They were awestruck! They couldn't say a word...they just stared at them and wouldn't crack a smile!



Making many, many wishes at Cinderella's fountain!



























This is one of many pics that we took of S and L in front of the famous statue...I apologize in advance if they all look the same to you, but I just had t post them! It was one of those rare moments where they were being so cute and nice to each other! Although, we did get a few stares from people after they started kissing!!! So adorable!!


Back to the magic Kingdom...I think they are catching the end of one of the many parades that go on in Disney World...Sophie is waving to Cinderella, or as they call her "Cin-ella"

















Disney-Day Two...
On our second day, we decided to try out Animal Kingdom, which no one in our group had ever been to...it was really fun and pretty incredible what they have there, but definitely something to try when S and L are a little older...the best ride though, was the African safari...wow! We got to see a whole bunch of animals on one ride, up close and personal! Crazy!

The Park, at night...
It was beautiful! All decorated for Xmas...
S and L LOVED the parade...it was adorable to watch them watching all the characters pass by...they were enchanted by the whole scene--so cute!





Walking with Mommy


Mommy and Oma! (pardon my silly face in the one pic!)
This was by far my FAVORITE ride of the day--the train that just rides around the Magic Kingdom! We rode around a few times! S and L liked being on the train and we liked SITTING DOWN!
