This past weekend (Thursday the 19th thru Sunday the 22nd) we (Grant, Brendan, Connie, Jim, Grandma Dorothy and me) headed down to Florida to surprise brother-in-law Arturo for his birthday. We had a fantastic time down there hanging out with everyone, Anna, Audriana, Arturo and little A.J. We packed so much into the few days we had with them...going to the Magic Kingdom on Friday, the boys went fishing while we ladies went shopping on Saturday morning and then to Disney Hollywood Studios Saturday, character breakfast at the Contemporary and shopping before going to the airport and flying home on Sunday. Brendan even got his first haircut at the Magic Kingdom on Friday!!! Here are a few of the hundreds of pictures we took on our fabulous trip:
Brendan getting his first haircut at the barber shop at the Magic Kingdom. He did great and looks so handsome with his short hair.
Enjoying a Mickey ice cream bar.
Tickling his cousin A.J.'s toes :D
Hanging out with Donald Duck at the character breakfast.
Giving Minnie Mouse kisses...he is in love with Minnie I think. He wouldn't stop hugging and kissing her and even gave her a little push, too.
Holding daddy's hand while starting the "tour".
Watching the animals trim the Christmas tree...he loved this scene! I had asked him to smile for this picture and this is what he did...so cute!!!
Brendan and mom in front of the singing trees...he would not look at daddy for the picture, there was just too much to look at!
Santa picture 2008...one happy little man. He and I have been talking about Santa, looked at this picture from last year, practiced "what Santa says" "Ho Ho Ho" (Brendan only says "Ho Ho"...), waited really well in line for Santa, charged into the room and FROZE. I slowly walked him up to Santa, showed him the jingle bells on Santa's outfit, had him give him a "five", then set him on his lap....
Needless to say he was not happy to sit on Santa's lap at all! Oh well, you gotta have the hysterical crying kid on Santa's lap Christmas picture, dontcha?!?!
