Cute Little Pirate!

Ice Skating!

Dylan even gave it a try this time! Good thing he has such wonderful sisters who stayed by his side the whole time!

Fun on the Monkeymania Runway!

The Birthday Party!

Hannah had an American Girl birthday party on Friday afternoon after school (which, incidentally, turns out to be a GREAT day and time for a party!). We decorated bags to carry dolls in, ate lots of food (even doll food) and the girls played! What fun!

The Birthday Party Food!

Along with real sized food, we had to have tiny treats for the dolls, didn't we? After all, it was an American Girl Doll party!

Happy Birthday, Hannah!

Happy 9th Birthday to my sweet little Hannah, loyal friend, baby lover, amazing pianist, wonderful sister, who brings joy and sunshine to every day!

A Guy and His New Pirate Sword!

Dylan, my little pirate, is terrified of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride! We stood in line with the rest of the family while they waited to go on the ride planning to walk across the boat and exit before the ride started. He was so worried that we would not have time to get across the boat before the ride started that he went limp when I tried to scoop him up and run him across. HEAVY!!!!! With no other exit choice, I grabbed him and ran across the boat and as soon as we were on the other side, he quickly recovered, especially when he saw the pirate shop just outside of the exit. Of course, we made some much needed purchases, including this Jack Sparrow sword. It's a good thing that Dylan is so easy-going. Most of the day consisted of him being too scared to go on any ride that he could not see, but with that sword in hand, he was more patient than a saint the whole day!

Aboard the Queen Mary!

Cousin Time!

Dogpile, pretending to be trees (at Dylan's instruction), and the cousin photo (with lots of cousins missing).
