Happy 65th Birthday Grandpa Reusser...

Goofy was the first to greet the birthday boy at Chef Mickey.

Minnie whispered sweet nothings into Grandpa's ear... o-behave!

Goofin' around with the big guy!

Quackers for Donald Duck!

Eli LOVED him some Donald Duck... I think it was the big, luscious, yellow lips!

Quack! Quack!

Mom, can we please get a dog?

I couldn't resist stealing a picture with Goofy. What can I say, there aren't many guys out there who can make me feel short!

A Tradition Continues...

Summer of 2009... Addie at 2 1/2+ years

January 2011... Addie at age 4 1/2 years

January 2012... Addie at 5 1/2 years

For the past 3 years we have had been blessed to enjoy a family vacation in Orlando, Florida. Our first evening there as a family in 2009, was a magical night that kicked off our vacation at dinner with Cinderella at the Grand Floridian Hotel and Resort at Disney World. Every time we have visited, Addie and her Daddy get their picture taken together in front of the bird cage in the lobby. Can you believe how much she has grown up?!?

Biggie Boy at Chow Time...

We had a trial run the other day... I would load the spoon up with some yummy goodness and Eli would take the spoon and feed himself. More times that not, he hit his mouth, but by the end of the chocolate pudding tasting session he looked like a hot mess! Tonight we tried out applesauce and allowed him to fly solo with spoon and bowl. He loved it, especially the praise of mommy and big sister cheering him on after each bite.

Ho, Ho, Ho!

Little man wrapped up in his new blankie. Watch the video below to see just how much he loves a good waller with his Toy Story 3 snuggly... Cutie -Pa-Tootie!

According to Addie, this was THE BEST GIFT EVER!!!

Santa sure did deliver with the arrival of the Ultimate Disney Princess Castle and it's millions of oh, so tiny plastic forks, plates, brushes, mirrors, etc... errr!

These two are the best gifts I have ever found next t0 my Christmas tree. God is so good and we are so blessed to be the parents of these two amazing children. We do not take our role as their parents lightly, and thank God each day for entrusting them to us. The Christmas holiday season just warms our hearts with each passing year to experience it through their innocence and their excitement.

Peek-a-Boo... I see you!
