The Storm

Gavin was thrilled at the new tree in our front yard...

Lucia & Finn were not.

Birthday Party

A few pics from Gavin's recent birthday party

The oft-discussed car-shaped pinata -- a big hit!
The kids on stage, getting ready to sing and dance with bubbles. (Notice that Gavin is carrying Doggy with him everywhere)

Being twirled in the parachute by his friends -- he was thrilled!
Blowing out all four candles on his Transformers cake, in one big puff!

Gavin's Birthday

Playing Together at the Park

The kids are finally starting to enjoy each other's company and play. Gavin and Finn really bonded on this trip -- they pretended to be airplanes and guarded a fort together.
Lucia and Finn, on the other hand, are starting to fight a lot more. Finn is finally hitting back -- alot! Here they are when they are not fighting.

Disney

We started off visiting the Magic Kingdom. It was unseasonably cold -- in the low 40s. Gavin demanded a blanket to warm his legs. Finn insisted on wearing the ensemble pictured below -- hat, mittens and sunglasses. We got alot of stares, since he did look a bit like the Invisible Man.
We met Goofy at the Animal Kingdom. Although the photos weren't great, the kids were tickled. Finn offered him his prized hat and Goofy tried to put it on his own nose. Gavin offered him a map to autograph and Lucia showed him her sunglasses.

At Hollywood Studios, we got to meet Woody and Buzz Lightyear (or as Lucia refers to him, "BuzzYear").

Lucia got a little upset when she realized her father was trying to strap her into a rocketship going to Infinity and Beyond...

Mornings

Mom, these pics are to make up for the other posts which show the kids looking very disheveled ;-)

Thank you PohPoh and GungGung

The kids *looove* the bouncer they got for Xmas.
