My Cute Little Shoe Swiper!

College Football National Championship

Although all of us would like to see Ohio State win, Brooklyn isn't too happy that she is the only person who actually picked them in our house!

First All Day Hockey Tournament

10 games, 2 goals, 3 hours of driving, and 7 hours of idle time in between sessions....all of it worth it for the smile at the end!

Pinewood Derby Car Day 2 + Happy Mom after the Cowboys victory!

Can you guess who we are?

Goalie!

Playing goalie for the first time!

Happy New Year!

Christmas #2 with FaceTime!

Pinewood Derby Car Day 1!

We had a very productive day 1 of pinewood derby car making! Tyler designed, cut, sanded, and balanced the car! Best part was using pennies for weights and resisting the desire to buy a band saw😊. Saved about $20 vs tungsten and had more fun!

Lunch

T wanted to make his own Lunchables and then added popcorn. Then he decided to get his vegetable out of the way and have cooked carrots for lunch so he won't have to eat a veggie at dinner!

Breakfast

Scrambled eggs, fruit/yogurt/pecan salad, and cereal. 4 of the food groups! It was tasty. Even the new member of our family, Isabel, joined us!

Tyler Cooks!

Tyler must plan and cook all of our meals today for a Scout Achievement!!

Hockey Practice

Goaaaaaaaal!!!

Go Packers!!

After a big win for the Cowboys (Mommy's team), now it's time for the Packers!

Bell Ringing

Brooklyn went bell ringing with her Daisy Troop!!

Not a White Christmas

We missed out on snow this year, but at least we got to jump in the leaves on Christmas! Tyler found a new way to catapult off the swing!

Frozen makes it to Christmas Eve

Too bad Brooklyn was sick and missed seeing Elsa on the big screen at church!

Disney Day 5 - Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney

Our final day at the parks started before the sun came up!  Back to the Magic Kingdom!

Brooklyn was SUPER excited to be visiting the Magic Kingdom again!  She did everything she could to help Mickey open up the park with gusto!

Once at the Park, Brooklyn was still excited to see the Princess Castle!!

 Because we got there so early (extra magic hours for our last day), there was no waiting at the Barnstormer...we got to ride it FOUR times in a row!!

After the barnstormer, we headed to the tea cups for some more fast spinning!!  Mommy and Daddy couldn't handle that one more than once though!

Then of course we had to ride the train!  We rode it all the way around the whole park!

After the train, Mommy and Brooklyn split up from Daddy and Tyler.  The girls went to see all the princesses, and the boys rode all the roller coasters...and of course more snakes!!!

Looking longingly at the "Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!"

Afterwards we met back up to say goodbye to all our Disney friends at the parade!

Waving Good Bye!!

While we were waiting for the bus to take us to Downtown Disney (where the giant LEGO store is!), Brooklyn practiced her audition to be a Disney theater announcer...

What a GREAT family vacation!!
