Ave Kate turns 6!





The birthday girl arrives in the kingdom! Ave Kate celebrated her sixth birthday at her favorite place. We had lots of fun and adventure.. like having a near heart attack when she got lost for what seemed like forever but was actually just minutes. She walked one way just steps ahead of me and it was like she disappeared into thin air. I kept circling the area we had been and luckily found her with tears and a look of despair on her face. Thank God! It was a scary few minutes.
We rode all the rides we could and watched the parades. Lily was a bit overwhelmed by the crowds and noise but she loved the rides and meeting the characters. All of the kids were totally exhausted (as were we) by the end of the night. Today we decided to rest up and relax by the pool. We will probably brave the crowds again tomorrow. I wore my most comfortable walking shoes and my feet still hurt.

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas..






The girls had fun decorating the tree. It was so much fun to watch Lily's excitement. She didn't know what to think about her first Christmas tree but she caught on fast to the decorating process! Olivia and Ave Kate were a big help-they can reach even higher branches this year...
Alyssa and Cohen spent a night at our house and did some pj piano playing.
