Breakfast with Pooh! I have to take a moment to talk about what Adleigh ate. She is known in our family for the way and how much she eats. This breakfast was an all you can eat buffet. Her first plate was french toast, toast, a bagel, cereal, and a biscuit. She ate every bite, all that bread, and once when I looked at her she was licking the inside of a butter container. Her second plate was sausage, bacon, eggs, and another biscuit with sausage gravy...ate every bite. Then she announced she wanted dessert. Dad went with her and she said she wanted 8 donut holes. He gave her 3.

Jeremy, Me, Ben, and Rachel went back late one night after the kids went to bed. Magic Kingdom stayed open until 12 am. The castle can barely be seen in the background.

Sweet Adleigh meets Mickey

Typical Adleigh

On the 3rd day we went to Magic Kingdom. Dad and Kingston spent lots of time together!

Adleigh, Solomon and Autumn...they loooove him! They act like little mothers.

Our week started with 2 days at Sea World! Kingston loved the dolphins.


We went to Orlando again, but this time with the Beasley side of the family. We spent 2 days at Sea World, and then a day at Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and MGM each. Then we spent a day at Universal Studios / Islands of Adventure. We had so much fun all being together.

Lazy Saturday

Just playing around the house and happened to catch some really cute pictures of the boys. In their mother's opinion, they are too cute to keep to myself!!

Disneyworld with the Pharr Phamily

DISNEYWORLD WITH THE PHARR PHAMILY!!

We left on New Year's Eve to go down to Orlando and we got home on Sunday, January 6th! We went to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios and Universal Studios! The weather was much colder than I thought possible in Florida and the parks were incredibly crowded, but we had a great time!!

Kingston, Xander, Solomon, and Paisley

Ok, I don't really approve of playing in the balls, but I had to temporarily abandon my germaphobic tendencies when I saw how excited he was!

Kingston and Zach take a rest on the sidewalk at Universal

Kingston is too tired to even move...this was the scene every evening back at the hotel

Yay! The family met Mickey Mouse!

Kingston was so thrilled to meet Mickey Mouse. He really just didn't know what to do!

This is hilarious! Kingston and Paisley were sitting outside of the new Mt. Everest ride at Animal Kingdom enjoying their Mickey suckers. Right when I snapped this picture, the roller coaster came flying out of the mountain...

Xander and Kingston look like they are up to something....I have a feeling this is going to be a common scene in the years to come

Solomon and his enormous cheeks!

Jeremy and I at Epcot

Christmas

Christmas was so fun this year with 2 babies! Of course, Solomon had no clue what was going on and Kingston got spoiled rotten! He is still asking to open presents. When I began taking the tree down, Kingston started hollering "Christmas is not over!". Despite how hectic it was, it was the best Christmas ever!

Sweet little Solomon

Kingston and Paisley are the best of friends!

Christmas at my parents' house!

This is my sister's family: Adleigh, Jeremy, Autumn and Rachel. Can you tell who the ham is in the family?

Baby Feet and Decorating the Tree

Baby feet are the cutest things in the world and Solomon loves to play with his feet. This is one of my favorite things that babies do, and Kingston never really did, so I had to share these pictures. As you can see, I was trying to change his diaper, but he insisted on playing with his feet, so I used it as a photo op.

Kingston helped us decorate the Christmas tree. Can you see the Big Bird? We got him some Sesame Street ornaments to put on the tree himself.

Personal Space

I just had to document my thoughts and my experience. I don't know how many of you go shopping on "Black Friday", but just the thought of it makes me shudder. I hate crowds. I hate shopping, and the combination makes me want to go into a coma. However, my husband wants a Wii for Christmas. It is pretty much the only thing he has asked for, so I went to a local electronics store, and no, it was not Best Buy. I'm not a lunatic. I went to FYE. Anyway, I stood in line and personal space was nonexistent. Now I will admit, I looooove my personal space, not just with strangers in the supermarket line, but in my classes, with my friends, pretty much all the time everywhere!! Anyway, there were people all around me. One woman kept creeping up next to me and finally cut me in line! Then there was a guy standing behind me in line who was standing so close that I could smell his breath. It literally made my stomach turn. I stood in that line, mad that I was even in it and becoming more angry by the second at this person literally breathing down my neck. Next year, I am considering shopping with a "personal space hoola hoop".

Football and the Pumpkin Patch and Trunk or Treat

I know this is so late, but things have been wild around our home. Enjoy the pictures and everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
