yeah, I know, it's been a while!

So, I don't know if anyone even checks my blog anymore! I've been a little absent, but got down to scrapbooking the last year, and realized how nice it was when my blog was updated so I could take things from here! So, I'm going to try to be a little more on top of things. Anyway.....we had a fantastic Christmas Season and break, Matt was able to take lots of time off, so we had lots of great family time. I asked Ellie if she was ready to go back to school tomorrow, and she got sad and said, "you mean, no more family days?" What a great thing to hear from your daughter! Yea for family days! Here's some fun pics of the last couple of months, and what we've been up to!

Matt coached Ellie's soccer team. SO FUN! It was an all-girl team, the purple princesses! All the girls were also in our neighborhood. Ellie absolutely loves soccer and is actually very competitive.

In October, Matt had to go to Orlando for a Saturday training, so we decided to join him and spend the next week at Disney World!! So much fun. We trick or treated one night at the Magic Kingdom and were able to see pretty much everything we wanted to at each of the 4 parks. It was hot (90's in Oct.!) but not crowded. We walked onto almost every ride at each park!
We actually saw Rapunzel & Flynn Rider even before the movie came out! The girls were so excited that they met her! Kenna loved her!
Trick or treating at the Magic Kingdom! The girls couldn't believe that they got to trick or treat at Minnie & Mickey's house!
Grandma & Grandpa Johnson joined us for the week. It was so nice to have the help and extra hands. Nothing better than to hang out with grandma & grandpa at Disney!

Here's McKenna saying Merry Christmas! There was a bag of cookies on the table, and she just decided to get them herself! She's definitly the busiest and craziest toddler I've had.

The sleepy elf came on Christmas eve, and brought Ellie some 'pirate' jammies! This was a classic Christmas moment, with her yelling..."how did he know? How did he know?"

Ellie & cousin Julie being the 'angels' at our Christmas Eve re-inactment!

Getting excited to see Santa!

Braving the cold to see Santa come down in the helicopter at University Mall.

We had a great holiday season, and are looking forward to a great 2011! We're grateful for all our friends and family we were able to spend time with and make the season so wonderful.
