Disneyworld 2011!!

This year Christian's parents helped all of us celebrate Christmas together in Disneyworld!  It was amazing!  I feel so lucky to have married into such an incredible family.  I really can't imagine a sweeter mother-in-law, a kinder father-in-law, or more fun sister-in-laws.  The brothers are pretty nice, too :)

Here we are on Tom Sawyer's island where we ate lunch a few days out of the week.  The kids loved playing on the pirate ship fort!

Before everyone else came down, we were able to stop by and see Cliff and Courtney Luff in Gainsville.  They were the greatest friends and we've missed them so much.  I think of Courtney often since she was someone who gave awesome advice and never minded that I was in work out clothes nearly every single day.  She is one of my favorite people in the world.

Here's a bunch of the group!  Dad made sandwiches for everyone and ran around the entire park retrieving fast passes.  He drove people everywhere, took screaming children and was just hands down wonderful.  I hope my boys grow up to be as kind and generous as he is.

Darcy and Heidi took care of getting everyone matching pajamas...even for the moms!  They are the best, most fun people!

Cassie was an angel on this trip! She was my buddy!

Austin likes his eggos frozen--I think it helps with his teeth!

Christmas morning!  Tyson had been asking every day for months whether Christian had brought him home a helicoptor or not.  His dream finally came true and he was so excited!

Austin got a car that wound up and went on its own.  It was a big hit!

Aubery--such a cutie!

Here we are at the Epcot center coloring our bears :)

Streadbecks with Mom and Tyson.  Clara kept falling asleep and Russ would carry her everywhere so she could get a better nap.  That was amazing!  My kids had to sleep in the stroller :)

Brielle, Tyson and Hyrum showing off their bears!

Brielle chose to pick a clam and keep the pear.  She was so cute!

Austin was still not walking but that didn't keep him from wanting to explore the park!  I was so grateful Christian was there to help keep a leash on him!

Here's our little family!  Austin was pretty mad to be back in the stroller :)

Cassie was so nice to Tyson.  She helped him to not be afraid on rides and rode the Yetti ride with me a few times.  I'm so glad she's part of this family!

Here we are in front of the castle!  It was so beautiful when it was lit up at night!  Tyson kept calling it the temple :)

There were so many people that I'm surprised we never lost a kid!

Tyson loved all of the cool things to see even waiting in line!

Brielle was so good!  It's amazing how fun these older girls become so quickly!

I love Austin's smile!!  Look at those teeth!

Of Course Mary--all I think of when I see her is "EYEBALLS, EYEBALLS, EYEBALLS!" She used to chant that all the time when she was younger!

Here we are on the train!  Heidi is such a fun girl!  She is my inspiration in a lot of ways!

The one character we stood in line to meet-Rafiki!!  Yes, it was worth the wait!

Tyson on the train ride!

Tyson is running to catch up with his cousins and pet the animals!  It was so much fun to see him just light up around his cousins!

Austin makes me feel so loved!

Darcy was a trooper!  She did the first few days with four kids without a husband--you go girl!

Mom and Dad treated all of us to a volcano brownie!  Everyone was so excited!  What an experience!

Christian keeping up with the fast folks!

Austin 'digging it' at the dinosaur dig!

It was amazing to see Tyson and Austin in a new place.  Their personalities just shine!  Tyson is careful and steady, Austin is crazy.  I love them both!

Austin taking a turn steering the ship!

Overall, this was one of the very funnest family vacations I have ever been on.  Thank you so much to everyone for making it so fun to be around you and for helping us with our kids!  We love you!  Merry Christmas!
