Making Cookies For Santa

Today the boys made cookies to leave for Santa Clause tomorrow night. They had a blast!! Yes, they made a big mess, but they had fun and that is all that matters.

Will had fun decorating the cookies.
Landon was our little taste tester.

Shake it Landon!!

Landon loves to dance!! Mommy happen to get a short video of him dancing to Thomas the Train this morning while he was playing outside on the porch. He could see his reflection in the door, so he would shake his little bottom from side to side as hard as he could. At one point he was shaking so hard his pants fell down to his knees. Sorry we didn't get that on video.

Don't we all wish we have a little piece of his energy.

Family Day at Epcot

Saturday we spent the day at Epcot. This was the boys first visit and they had a great time. The first thing Will wanted to do was ride The Seas with Nemo and Friends. It was really a cute ride. After you get off the ride they have this HUGE aquarium that is so big scuba divers were inside it cleaning the tank. The boys had a lot of fun leaning right up against the tank and watching the fish, sharks and scuba divers. We didn't get to go up into the ball this visit because it was not working, but we did make it around the world showcase. The boys liked the entertainment they had at most of the countries. Landon of course liked the entertainment with the bongo drums the best. We even got to see a French Santa Clause in France.

The boys have now been to all four parks at Disney World and we have decided that Landon's favorite thing is riding the tram that takes you from your car to the park entrance. He gets sooooooooo..... excited every time we ride it. He thinks he is riding a train. Don't get us wrong, he does REALLY enjoy the characters and everything else inside the parks, but he just REALLY, REALLY likes that tram.

Visit with Tom and Ginny

Dottie has a great aunt and uncle (Tom and Ginny) that live in Lakeland, Florida. Today we went to there house to visit.

They have orange trees in there back yard, so the boys got to pick some. Mommy also got to go with Uncle Tom to a Farmer's Market to get some fresh fruits and vegetables really cheap. It is weird getting fresh fruits and vegetables this time of year, but everything right now is different from what we were use to in North Carolina, especially the weather.

The boys had a blast picking oranges, but the best part of all was spending some time with family. We miss that!!!

Landon enjoyed helping Uncle Tom put the oranges in the bucket.

Landon liked to pull an orange as hard as he could to get it off the tree. Eventually he would let go, fall on his bottom and laugh and laugh.
Here is Will holding a bucket of grapefruit. He was such a big helper.

Daddy and the boys had a great assembly line, which made the picking go really fast.

Getting Ready For Christmas

Over the weekend we decorated our house for Christmas. This year we put a big tree up in the family room and and then we had a little tree from the first year we were married, so we put it in the boys play room and they got to decorate it with ornaments they have made over the past few years and will continue to make this year. They had so much fun with it and it was really fun to watch. They did get to help mommy and daddy put ornaments on the big tree and then mommy added her special touch to make it pretty.

The boys are so excited this year about Christmas, which really makes it fun. Will is really into the whole Santa Claus and asks us questions everyday, like "How will Santa get into our house because we don't have a fireplace?" and Landon is trying to take it all in. They are both at such a cute age!!

We can't wait to come up to the mountains in a few weeks where the weather is cooler. It's really strange to be getting ready for Christmas in shorts, short sleeves and flip flops. Not to complain because the warmer weather is nice, but we have been so use to Christmas being cold.

Will did a great job decorating his tree.

Landon concentrating really hard to put an ornament on.

Landon is so excited.

Santa's Little helpers!!
Will is teaching Landon Jingle Bells. What a perfect song for Landon to learn with his guitar.
