We like Spaghetti!

I'm getting payback in the spaghetti department--with Macey at least. My parents always told me how messy I was when I ate spaghetti when I was our girls' age. Here's a few comparison pictures. The next three pics are of me when I was one after eating spaghetti or the equivalent.

And now pics of my girls after their spaghetti dinner:

The Mace

Madison was much neater

And a little teamwork picture thrown in

Christmas

We had a very Merry Christmas. We started the day off at home where Santa came, then off to Mimmy & Pops' for Christmas with the Tori & Brady. We finished the day with a relaxing evening at Papa and Bebe's. The day after Christmas we went to Kobe's with the entire Church clan--it's getting bigger every year! The girls had a blast and slept the best they ever have from all the festivities.

Tori said she wanted a plunger for Christmas so Aunt Jessie bedazzled one up to make a pink one

Tori and Madison playing in their new kitchens from Mimmy & Pops

Madison loves to push things--so this worked out well for awhile since they were all fighting over this & Brady's car

We even had some deer run across my parents' front driveway

Macey relaxing with Uncle D

We waited too far into the day to get a group shot. Brady had just woken up from a nap & the other three were past due for theirs

Brady kept stealing Madison's passy

Macey thought she was big stuff on the couch at Grandma's after Kobe's

Finally riding together for a little while at least

Reading our books while we wait for Jessie & Mimmy to head to the mall

Santa

We went to Hillsboro's church Christmas party to see Santa this year. One liked it, for the most part, the other didn't at all.Macey going to deliver Christmas cards to the neighbors with Daddy

Madison got sister a little worked up after a minute

Macey, Tori, Madison--Madison just wanted no part of Santa this year.

Disney World!

From Albany, we met my family in Orlando to stay in Disney for a week. We had never seen it decorated for Christmas and it didn't disappoint. The girls were great and all the kiddos were troupers for the week. We hit Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios and the girls were fans of most of the characters. Tori celebrated her 3rd birthday while we were there at a character breakfast. She was loving every second of it. Thanks for the great trip Mimmy & Pops! The traditional photo-op at the Magic Kingdom
Their first ride and they loved it!

We happened to hit it just right with Pooh and Tigger--they really liked them.

This is what Pops and Macey did all week. She loves to walk,but she wants to hold a finger--she just won't let go.
