Mickey's House (Part 1)

We flew to Orlando, FL for our family vacation. We made the trip with Grammy and Gramps (Papa Choo Choo), Uncle Chad, Aunt Amy, and cousins Myles, Elliot & Ian. We had told Wesley that we were going to be visiting Mickey's house. He was so excited for this trip.

We spent a lot of time at our hotel, the Nickelodeon Suites Resort, but we also went to Downtown Disney, Magic Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studio. Ben and I were both anxious to go to Magic Kingdom since we both hadn't been there since we were around five or six years old. It was better than I remembered and I hope we can go back again in a couple of years. Wesley would like to go back sooner. After we got home he turned to me and said, "Next year Mommy." He better start saving up. :)

There are so many wonderful pictures and stories to share from this trip that I am going to have to do it in chunks.

Batgirl is in the House

Addie absolutely loves wearing the Batman cape around the house. I think I need to make her a Batgirl cape. :)

Go Green!

Papa Choo Choo

Here are Wes and Addie playing with Papa Choo Choo. The story starts all the way back from when he was in speech therapy. The speech therapist would point to a picture and Wesley would have to repeat it. On one of the cards there was an image of an older gentleman with a white beard that she called Papa. So Wesley started to call his Grandpa Hudson Papa since he also had a white beard. He then added on the "choo choo" part since they have Thomas Trains at their house. He LOVES playing with those particular trains even though he has his own trains at his house. Wes is quite creative at naming, huh? :)

Over the River and Through the Woods

Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go...

More Fun in the Snow

Addie loves eating snow.

Wesley loves playing with snow.

Daddy loves throwing snow. Trouble maker!

And everyone likes being outside in the snow. Well, maybe Mommy doesn't always like it so much. But that is why I love zoom lenses so that I can sometimes take pics from inside the nice warm house. :)

Made with Love and Lots of Snow

Wesley has been waiting for enough snow to build a snowman for months. He was so excited every time he saw snowflakes and we had to keep telling him that we needed a lot of snow to make a snowman. Of course watching Frosty all the time before Christmas just added to his anticipation. I was so happy to see enough snow outside so that we could finally make his snowman. We bundled all up and made our way outside to make a big snowman. We put Mr. Snowman's hat on last and as soon as we did Wesley looked over at him (3rd picture down) and said, "Why isn't he talking?" I guess we watched a little too much Frosty. :)
