Our Christmas present from Nana…a visit with her, Dinosaur World and Disney World

     For Christmas, Nana had planned a Disney trip for all the kids/grandkids.  So in February, we went…just in time for my birthday too!  This post may extend to a couple of posts because there is so much to share!  Mind you, I was JUST starting to feel somewhat better from the flu/H1N1 and pneumonia and was so glad to be because the only thing I would be complaining about was morning sickness…haha!  I was convinced already that this little bit was a girl…I was NEVER this queasy with the boys.  Poor Matt, I’m sure he was counting down the days ‘til the 2nd trimester!

     The first day we enjoyed some scooter riding and visiting time.  It was so nice to see Mom again, we really miss her since she moved back to Florida!

We didn’t let too much time get by without goin out and exploring…

The first day we went to DInosaur World, the boys and Madeline had lots of fun!

These were some cool looking dino’s!  It was interesting to see the artist/sculptors imagination at work with the large lizards skin color, etc.

I love the way they look up to Daddy, he can answer and do anything!  Truly their hero!

Headbandz was the game of the week…

One of the best parts of our week was the beautiful tulips that were waiting at my Mom’s house when we arrived for Valentine’s Day!  I was totally surprised because the card thanked me for being a wonderful wife…at first I thought my Mom had run off and gotten married!  Then I was even happier when I realized they were for me!  He never ceases to surprise me!  I love him!

Aren’t they pretty?  This was a couple of days later when they had started to wilt as tulips do…I love how he always gets me something different and not always the standard roses!

All this and it was just Day 1!
