Christmas Festivities!


Enlarge this picture and you can see Cappi's TWO top teeth!

Mommy and Camri taking a bite out of the gingerbread house.
We took the girls to see the Legendary Santa at the Children's Museum of Richmond. This year Carmi wasn't afraid at all! Capri, on the other hand is definitely at the "stranger danger'' phase.
Capri, crawling around at the museum.
Did I mention that while we were on vacation Capri started crawling? She is all over the place, crawling until her knees are raw. I love her chubby red little knees.
Mommy and the girls opening presents
Camri loved getting books this Christmas

Making cookies for Santa. :)
The girls, Christmas morning
This is one of the sweetest presents we got this year. Sweet Capri.
Camri is a seasoned pro at opening presents. She even opened all of Capri's.
I got the girls matching pj's, and I loved this shot of their little rumps.
Camri loved the princess castle from Papa Steve
This year Steve and I got Camri a kid tough digital camera. She loves my camera, so I thought this would be the perfect gift for our photography enthusiast. She has been taking all kinds of pictures, and she loves being able to view them after she's taken them. The really cool thing is you can download and edit the pictures she takes. I wish they had cool toys like this when I was a kid.
I feel like such a lame-o for getting Steve a label maker and a key chain, but hey- he wanted them. He looks pretty happy to me...

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas, and we wish you the best in the year to come!

Best. Vacation. Ever.

Here are all the details of our fantastic trip to Disneyworld!

Disneyworld: Animal Kingdom

We met up again with the Furniss' to go to the Animal Kingdom, and we had so much fun! We saw a show about the Lion King, watched "Finding Nemo" the musical, and went on a jungle safari. Camri loved the animals and hanging out with her buddy, Lincoln.
Here we are at the Lion King Show. It was so awesome, and despite the look on Camri's face, she did enjoy it.

Here we are on Safari!

Mandi and I just after going on the most awesome roller coaster of the trip: Expedition Everest! Loved it!
Capri loved Baylor! And who could blame her? He is SO cute!

The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

We took Camri to the BBB all dressed up in her Cinderella dress. They were so cute with her! They did her hair, nails and makeup. She had so much fun getting the royal treatment.
The final product!

Pure joy...



Here are some other misc pictures of us at the Magic Kingdom

Riding the famous Teacups!

Seaworld!

Sea World was so much fun! It was a much warmer day, and Camri had a ball feeding dolphins, sharks, sting rays, and otters. She even got to ride a roller coaster. We watched a dolphin show, the Shamu show, and an Otter show.
Daddy and Camri feeding Dolphins.

This is so sad. Capri got her first "owie" at Seaworld. She had been taking a nap and was unbuckled in her stroller, when she woke up we sat her up and forgot to buckle her and she fell out of the bottom and onto her little face. It was so sad. There goes our "Parent of the Year" award. Poor girl. We felt so bad.

Mommy and Camri feeding Sting rays. Well, not really. We were too chicken to stick our hands down to the bottom of the pool. So, Daddy fed them while we watched. But, we tried. We did get to touch them, though.

Here we are in front of the shark tanks where we fed the sharks.
Camri and her buddy, Lincoln. She LOVED him! They were holding hands and joint at the hip the entire day. We were so lucky to have our awesome friends the Furniss' on the trip with us!

Disneyworld: Epcot, and a Princess Lunch!

Dont let these pictures fool you, it was freezing! But so beautiful...

Camri and Daddy in front at Epcot
Even when it's freezing Camri likes to play in the water. We had to keep her out of the fountains at the entrance so she didn't turn into an ice statue. It was SO cold that day, plus there was a chilly wind blowing. Camri refused to wear her hat because she didn't want it messing up her hair. She is such a girl.
This was at the Princess lunch. The first thing the girls did was get their picture taken with Belle. It was awesome! Camri loved it. She kept telling Belle how beautiful her hair and dress were. She was completely lost in the magic. It was so awesome to see her experience meeting Belle.
The girls with Belle
The girls wit Sleeping Beauty. Don't you love the look on Capri's face?

Camri with Cinderella. I love the picture above! She had that supremely happy look on her face most of the time during the lunch. She had so much fun.

The girls with Jasmine. Capri kept trying to pull on the beads on her shirt.

Camri loved Ariel. She told us she was her favorite.
I'm telling you, paying $21 for a hot dog so Camri could see all the princesses is love. Yes, we're so lame we took a picture of the bill so no one would think we were exaggerating.
All us girls after lunch.
Camri with Mulan. (Her favorite princess, at least for now!)
This was a storyteller in the Chinese village in Epcot. He was walking down the street, stopped, and asked Camri if he would go with him to hear a story. She took his hand and he led her off. She didn't even hesitate. So much for "stranger danger". Looks like all those talks about not talking to strangers went in one ear and out the other.
She actually listened to his whole story and got a picture with him afterward.
Camri and I tried to stay warm by running . It didn't really work, but it got out some extra energy.
