We love getting together with our famillies, especially during the holidays. And not only did we get together this Thankgiving, we got together at Disney World! Not only did we celebrated Thanksgiving, we also celebrated Andrew's brother Mike & Susan's mom, Mrs. Sandt's birthdays! They both had a milestone birthdays, turning 40 & 75 respectfully, earlier this year.
Devin had been so excited about this trip, he was telling everyone & anyone who'd listened about it. We did everything he wanted to do: visit with Grandma, played in the pool, played with toys in Grandma's house, went to the beach, and of course one of his favorite places in the whole world-the Kennedy Space Center and Disney. While Devin knew exactly what he wanted to do, Serena was just happy chasing after Grandma's cat, Biscuit. Unfortunately, Biscuit is not a very friendly cat. So Serena chased after Devin. Wherever he went or did, Serena was right behind him. And she loves the pool as much as Devin does. She & Devin were in the pool everyday even when it wasn't warm enough. Our trip continued onto Disney after 4 days at Grandma's.

...beach on the very next day.
Then it got a lot cooler than we expected. Serena was wrapped snugly in 2 towels.
Andrew loves his mama's pies.
At downtown Cocoa, they had a Christmas Light Festival and smores-making over an open fire.

My favorite place at KSC: the Rocket Garden.
Right after we checked into our hotels, we went straight to the parks. Magic Kingdom was our first stop and Devin is pretty familiar with this park and their rides already. And we did a different park each day from then on and sometimes 2 parks in a day. We packed in a lot, it was tiring but fun at the same time. Both Devin & Serena got sick by the end of the third day, maybe overtired or ate something that didn't agreed with their tummies. Serena threw up in the middle of the night & continued into the morning. But by the afternoon, she was all better & ready to go again. Then Devin threw up right before dinner on the same day. And like Serena, he bounced right back by the morning. And we hit the parks again. By the time we arrived home, we were all exhausted. But we wouldn't have it any other way :)

One of our dinners with Cinderella & Prince Charming, all 14 of us!
While the adults were riding the grown-up rides, the little ones had to wait. Good thing they liked entertaining each other.
