Our Disney Photopass Disc, with photos from our trip to Disney World last month, just came so I wanted to share one of my favorites. I've never been a huge fan of Disney or wanted to go to Disney World but we'd go for the girls. I admit, it is a magical place. I get it now. We had such a great time. But, what I really enjoyed was nine straight days of uninterrupted togetherness with our family of four!
And, after:
Thanks Dr. Smith & Jamie
Afterwards fed her soup and smoothie for lunch then got her to school for Spanish. I think she's pretty cute and I might already be used to seeing her with them on.
Peyton's group doing "Twist" (2nd Place), love this shot of the dresses twirling:
Peyton loves the facials!
Mackenzie's Hip Hop dance (2nd place):
Lunch break - we headed a few blocks over to find a somewhere to eat. Stopped at a fantastic market but I was feeling a little overwhelmed by their unbelievable selection so we headed over to a place with just a few things on the menu, burgers, burgers, and burgers (Mackenzie and Emily went with Rob next door eat Mexican).
After lunch we headed back to the music hall to watch more performances and for the awards ceremony. To place you have to be within a certain point range, so we were very proud of the girls.
Sunday the girls spent all day dancing at the convention. They had a GREAT time!
While the girls were dancing all day on Sunday, Jason and I went to an auto show that was going on in KC. I checked out a few vehicles that I'd been thinking I wanted next (not anytime soon) and I was so disappointed because I don't think they are going to work for me. Ford has this robot named Hank, he was very entertaining! I wish I had a video camera. I also checked out a smart car and the complete opposite - a Jon-and-Kate-Plus-Eight-Type-Mobile.
We had a great time and came home to catch a little of the Academy Awards. The girls will have another competition next weekend here in town.
Frances, Maddie, Ashton, Jenna, Mackenzie, Lydia & Kendall.

This was from sledding yesterday. We went over to an empty neighborhood and pulled the sled behind the Jeep. I was driving and did a pretty good job of covering the family in snow.
We were supposed to get quite a bit of snow Christmas Eve night into Christmas Day and although we did have a White Christmas, it wasn't nearly what they had predicted. Jason and the girls played in it some but there wasn't enough to do much. Mackenzie was REALLY disappointed. I think we played enough today to make up for it.
We all went to an empty hilly neighborhood near us and tried doing some sledding but the hills weren't steep enough to go very fast.
Towards the end the girls just wanted Jason to pull him around behind the Jeep.
We stopped at home, warmed up by the fire with soup and hot chocolate then headed over to try out the big hills at our friend's house.
We went to another empty neighborhood (with less hills) and I drove the Jeep with the big kid (Jason) and Peyton in the sled. Then we picked up pizza and came home - I thought to stay in for the evening but then Jason and Peyton went out to play and built this cute little snowman (snowgirl?).
First, pizza at Tiny Tim's.
Afterwards, KDA had their Christmas Party and they got to perform. Next week we'll be traveling to Arkansas Children's Hospital to perform - Mackenzie is so excited for this, I think because that hospital is so good to her!
