For quite a while now, Princess Elisa has only had one birthday request...

Wow, what a surprise!

Thanksgiving Vacation

My next door neighbor started putting his Christmas lights up before Thanksgiving, which motivated me to do the same. Yes, I did get my outside Christmas lights up before Thanksgiving! Unfortunately it was down hill from then on.

Picture Perfect!

I cordinated my own family to match but the rest of the family was just coincidence.

My sister and her family also went to Georgia to visit our mom for Thanksgiving.

Alex and Elisa were glued to their Daddy's side for the few days he had off for Thanksgiving.

Alex has his little mischievous smile on, he must be up to something.

Ah ha! My little monkey has coned his dad into his little scheme.

Miss Cait loves to pose for the camera.

Of course, Alex and Nathan are thrilled to pose in front of the cannonball.

They have quite the imagination!

Alex had a great day at the aquarium, his favorite part was playing on the ship playground.

Samantha's favorite part of was touching the sea anemones.

Elisa was a handful, but had a great time on the ship playground.

Caitlin enjoyed playing around with her cousin Issac and her favorite part was watching the Otter play with ice cubes.

We all waited around and around hoping to get one touch of the stingray or the little shark. At last Aunt Nichole was successful.

Elisa waiting so patiently to get her turn to touch.

All Aboard!

Isn't there usually only one Captain aboard a ship?

Alright, Captain Nathan (Aeneas)!

Sam's100 Butterfly!

It was a cold day for a swim meet, but Sam and Cait didn't complain one bit. They got in there and swam great, they even beat most of there times.
