This is Avery at the California Adventure parade! She got to give one of the "Incredible" dancers a high five!











This is J.T. and his favorite "cousin Connor" at the parade watching his absolute favorite... Buzz Lightyear!

















We were lucky enough to get our picture with Woody from Toy Story... My kids were a little scared at first to stand by him but we eventually got a picture where most everyone was looking!















These were our Disneyland Richardson Reunion t-shirts. We all picked caracters we wanted to be and had them made before we went.

Jonathan and I couldn't decide... so J.T. and Avery picked for us. Their favorite movies have been Hercules and Robin Hood... And they decided Daddy and Mommy should be Hercules and Megara.

J.T. loves Buzz and so that is who he decided to be!

Avery recently saw Aladdin for the first time so of course she is Jasmine!

Evanna talks just like Boo off of Monsters Inc. so we didn't have a choice... She was definately Boo!

Last but not least Alyvia (Lyvi) still is so little and tiny that she was our little Minni!


We actually had our Reunion in Disnyland park! Who doesn't wanna do that? It was a blast and we loved seeing everyone who showed up! Although we were missing some people, everyone from John and Linda's family were there.

IT'S A GIRL

Well, we are having another girl!!
J.T. and Avery were a little bummed... Their comments were... "Can we get a boy next time?" "How come a girl, huh?"
But, they are excited now! I think the moment they were ok with a girl was when the sonogram lady said "look at her legs", and it totally looked like a rain dancer. The babies foot was moving so fast! They were laughing so hard!
It was fun to find out this time. We normally don't, but it was fun and we are super excited. Although I do think Jonathan and J.T. may be in for it... lol
And if I had my pictures I would put them on, but our new little girl looked very cute in her sonogram picture... In one picture it looked like dimples, so we will have to wait and see!

I know I stink at blogging! But here are some of our Christmas pictures anyway!
We had a great Christmas and we hope that all of you did too!
It's so funny, I look at people's blogs and see all the cute pictures and I wonder if it takes as many tries to get a good picture of their families as it does for us! So believe me when I say these are the best ones!! And it was impossible to get a cute one of all three of the kids together! J.T. and Avery do fine together, but Evanna screams when she is sitting next to them. Yet, she totally smiles and poses when she is by herself! I guess that is the way life is going to be now with three kids!
Any way I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!














Evanna __all by herself and loving it!!!




















J.T. and Avery_____ Without Evanna and loving it!!!

















This ended up being our Christmas card that we sent out this year!
