Last Pics of Disney (I Promise)

Riding "Its a Small World"Jack and Chyann inside Mickey's house!

Inside Minnie's gazebo. Can you tell that Jack was not overly thrilled?
We finally met Mickey on the last day. It wasn't as tragic as meeting Santa Claus, but Jack still did not like it.
Chyann was so excited she didn't want to stop hugging him!

Disney continued

Eating watermelon by the pool. Gotta love Florida's weather!On the boat to Epcot!
Jack and Daddy in front of Spaceship Earth. Jack is such a goofball!
Family pic at Downtown Disney (or as Chyann called it "Down Down Disney")
Sitting on the giant Lego doggy! Jack thought it was real and kept barking at it!

More Disney

Jack going down the slide for the 700 millionth time!
Needless to say, he did NOT like the Mickey ears

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

We spent New Years in Disney World with Nana, Papa, Uncle Dwayne, Aunt Tricia, and Chyann and we had a blast! Jack loved it all and we can't wait to take him back in a few years. Here are Jack and Chyann in their new sunglasses right before we went to the Magic Kingdom!
Our family pic in front of Cinderella's Castle.

Mommy and Jack rode the Dumbo ride together and Jack liked it as long as we weren't going up and down. He laughed and waved at Daddy below.

A pleasant surprise were all the playgrounds for the little ones to run around. This one was just like the water parks in Chicago, complete with rubber matting and water spouts. Jack and Chyann played forever and had the best time. The temperature was 85 (AMAZING) so the cool water was a welcomed relief for them too!
Here we are on the Jungle Cruise. Jack kept waving to all the "animals"

Chick-fil-a

Mommy absolutely loves Chick-fil-a but they are nowhere to be found in Chicago. Therefore, whenever we go home to Virginia Mommy has to get some. When we were visiting Grandpa Ed and Grandma Pam, we spotted a Chickf-fil-a and Jack was able to share in the tasty goodness!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Jack spent his second Christmas at his Nana and Papa's house in Charlottesville and what a special time it was. Here is our family picture in front of the tree before church.

Jack had a ton of fun handing out the traditional present on Christmas Eve--PAJAMAS! For some reason he decided to take his shirt off first!

Jack's favorite Christmas present was his car. He rode all around the house and outside while drinking his milk.

The Teet!

While in Charlottesville, we made a little trip the Teet (Harris Teeter) and Jack thought it was a fantastic grocery store, probably because he got to ride in the coolest cart EVER!

You Got That Right!

No need for explanation...

Christmas Cookies!!!

While at Nana and Papa's Jack helped Aunt Tricia make Christmas cookies!

Jack's First Basketball Game

*Sorry for the lack of postings over the past few weeks. We just returned from our two week trip to Virginia and Disney World and then the boys came down with terrible colds. But we are on the mend and have lots of catching up to do!

While we were home in VA, Jack attended his first UVA basketball game at JPJ Arena. Let me tell you, that place is cool!!! We ate lunch in the Lexus room with Nana and Papa and Uncle Dwayne and Aunt Tricia. When the game started, Jack was shocked to see the fireworks and lasers inside the arena. However, he was just too tired and didn't even make it to the start of the game!
He did, however, manage to wake up half way through the game and was thoroughly intrigued by the sport of basketball. We watched carefully as the players ran back and forth and even clapped when UVA scored. The best part of the whole day was eating "Dippin Dots" though!
