Disney World

Oh the benfits of going with Gabriel on business. This time it was Disney World. I have always wanted to go to Disney World during Christmas and I just thought t would never happen but guess what it did! We only did Magic Kingdom because we got discounted tickets and couldn't get into the park until after 4 pm. 

I figured that all the parks would be decorated for Christmas with a bunch of lights and such but you couldn't even really tell that it was Christmas there! I guess Hollywood Studios is the place to go to see all the lights! Of course it is still Disney and it is still magical. The first day I took the girls by myself which was not as bad as I thought it would be and then the second day Gabriel came with us to the Very Magic Christmas Party which was also a disappointment but you never know until you do it right!?

I honestly wanted to enjoy the moment with the girls rather than be taking pictures all the time so there really isn't a lot of pictures but we did get some of their favorite parts!

So I didn't realize that Violet loved Mickey more than Minnie until this very moment! We walked in she could not contain her excitement and then HE TALKED!!! Oh goodness her high pitched squeal of delight was something I will remember forget!

 And then there is always the Toy Story gang to be excited for! The Move It Shake It parade is a must! It is short and the girls loved "dancing" with all their favorite characters!

 Then the moment Brigitte has been waiting for....meeting Jesse! This is her asking where Bullseye was!

Notice the death grip Violet has on Woody! She wouldn't let him go! Oh how we love Toy Story!!!

The Ariel ride

 Dancing in It's a Small World

 Their favorite ride...Aladin's Magic Carpet

 This is one of my favorite pictures of the trip

 Breakin' it down with Mike and Buzz Lightyear

 The next two are my all time favorite!

 And this is where Disney World ended for us.... Daddy split his pants BAD trying to get on the horse! Luckily it was already 11:30pm!

Ammon's Wedding

Aw December was a crazy month! We had Thanksgiving in Branson which we came home on Saturday, we then left for Georgia Tuesday, spent two days in Atlanta for Gabriel to work, then drove down to Moultrie for Gabriel's brother's wedding, then left on Sunday for Orlando until Friday! We were gone for basically 3 weeks!

Ammon and Valarie had been dating since a year after Gabriel and I got married so it was about time they finally did this! :D We had a blast. It is always fun to get all the Dauphin siblings together and we were only missing one. Not bad when there are 8 siblings!

The girls love their cousins and I think that is my favorite part too because I have so many memories of being with my cousins! I am just sad the girls only get to see theirs about once a year!

 All the cousins with the bride!

 The whole family minus the groom

 This is Sebastian. Gabriel's sister's son.

 Hot dang look at this sexy man!

All the Dauphin siblings minus one brother!

 And then this is how the Dauphin's take pictures with their wives....Oh I am not ready to raise a Dauphin boy!

November 2014

I am so far behind I am just going to lump November into one month because honestly I didn't take many pictures! The Christmas parade comes to Hutchinson before Thanksgiving which really bothers me! We went and got donuts that morning and then sat in the back of the truck to watch the parade. Brigitte says this is one of her top favorite days and will occasionally ask when we can get donuts and watch a parade again! She doesn't understand parades don't happen all the time.

Next grandma came and hung out and took some pictures of the girls playing. We have a really neat indoor play area in our county museum called the Oddleplex that the girls absolutely love and since it is cold in the winter we are here often. Well grandma had never been and she was babysitting and had one heck of a time finding the place. Brigitte was devastated in the car because she thought she was lost but they finally did make it. Brigitte loves to remind grandma of how long it took her to find the place!

And we finish off November with Thanksgiving in Branson with trip to Silver Dollar City.
