Trip to Disney World December 2010

We had the first Kevin and Karen Rackham family reunion this year and did it in style. Lexi has always wanted to meet Mickey Mouse at his house and so we'd been talking about taking her to Disney World to celebrate her 13th birthday for the last few years. Nana and Poppy loved the idea, rented a house for the week down there and took all of their kids and grandkids to Disney for a week. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! This trip would not have been possible without their generosity in funding the majority of the trip for everyone. We've finally picked out some of our favorite pictures so here are the slide shows. For some reason the slideshows are backwards in spite of numerous attempts to fix them. Sorry
TRIP DOWN AND DAY 1 @ MAGIC KINGDOM

LAST DAY @ MAGIC KINGDOM AND TRIP HOME

Ellie's nuffins

Ellie: "Daddy may I please have more nuffins [muffins]?"
Daddy: Gets her one muffin (because she's already eaten 3 this morning) and hands it to her. When she doesn't say please, asks "What do you say?"
Ellie: "I want four nuffins!"

At least we found something she'll eat. This little girl has the oddest appetite. She loves chicken nuggets, hot dogs, avocado, mini muffins, and chocolate.

Snowman Party

Leah is very creative. The kids are still too young to have much fun playing out in the snow... or maybe Mom and Dad just don't want to go out in the snow with them. Brrrr. It is probably a bit of both. So Leah decided to have a snowman party. The kids made snowman hats, ate melted snowman soup and melted snowman cookies, and made snow globes out of baby food jars.

Kevin and Karen Rackham Family

We had a wonderful time in Florida with Leah's parents and all of their kids and grandkids. This picture was taken after an African dinner at a restaurant at the Animal Kingdom resort. Thanks so much Poppy and Nana for a wonderful trip and awesome memories! More pictures to come of the kids meeting their favorite characters.
