Visit With Santa

On Saturday, I took the kids to see Santa at the Lake Club.  This is such a great Santa.  He takes up a lot of time with each group of kids.  At first, I was not sure if Ella was going to sit on his lap, but she followed her brother's lead and never looked back.  Braden and Ella each made a list to give to Santa and told him about our Elf, Single.  Christmas time is so much fun with my kids.  It really is fun to see Christmas through a child's eyes!

Braden's Birthday Party

Last Sunday, we had Braden's birthday party with his friends. Braden decided that he wanted his birthday party at his karate studio. I could not have been more pleased! It was much more relaxing for me, and the kids had a ball. Mr. Ray kept them busy and they were all tired. The best part was watching my little ninja break 3 boards by kicking and punching them. Afterwards, he did admit that it did hurt a little, but we will not tell! :)

Trunk or Treat

Our big Halloween weekend began Thursday night. Braden's school held their annual Trunk or Treat! I was glad they had it on Thursday so the kids were able to go to this. They had a blast! Ella was Minnie Mouse and Braden was our astronaut. Here are a few pictures....

Disney For Halloween

Braden's birthday weekend started with the trunk or treat at school. Then we were off the Disney. On Saturday, we went to Magic Kindgom and had a blast. That night we went to Downtown Disney to trick or treat. Braden choose to eat dinner at his favorite restaurant, T-Rex. It is a LOUD place, but the food is great and the kids love it! On Sunday, we headed back to Sea World. This time we were smart and did not sit in the soak section at the Shamu show!!! The kids rode their favorite rides again, and then headed to the pool! Who knew we would be swimming in November! It was a little chilly, but they had fun! We just love going to Disney. Cannot wait until next time!!!

Disney Here We Come, Again!!

We are heading to Disney this weekend for Braden's 7th birthday! Can you believe that my little boy will be seven??? I still remember all those days on bed rest just waiting for him to be born and praying that he is healthy. Well, he definitely is that and more. He is such a great kid!! He his so smart that he amazes me every day!!! Speaking of that, he got his first report card for this year and he had 2 100's and 1 99!! Way to go Braden!!!
