CELEBRATIONS

Shortly after the new year, we celebrated my birthday and then Annalise's.

We were able to do a fun family vacation to celebrate Annalise turning 2 at Disney World!!!! We had a great time-a wonderful time enjoying each other!

You may have already noticed Annalise's expression-but in case you didn't...

We saw a very cool Lightening McQueen stunt show.

Annalise was much more comfortable with the characters when she was taller than them :)

My parents were with us so naturally we spent a day in Hogsmeade

Amelia couldn't get enough of the characters!

Judah loved the rides

and being with mommy!

And Annalise loved being with us!!!

While we were on our trip, David and I had a little secret that we were keeping from everyone- 

Expected to arrive mid-September :)
