The kids were having so much fun with this one that I had to get it on video. Check out Braden's face. It's hilarious. Heleyna wants some of the action too!
I know this has nothing to do with our trip to Disney World, but I had to share it anyway. As many of you know Braden takes his eating very seriously. We were at Akerhaus to have lunch with the Princesses when Dianna brought Braden a banana. She was trying to make it easier for Braden to eat and broke the banana in half. Braden could not believe that mommy would do such a horrible thing.
All turned out in the end though. Braden ate his banana (and another one mommy brought). And he got to see all of the Princesses. I don't think he was excited as Heleyna though.
Who doesn't love the Princesses?
Heleyna has been a true believer since the day she was born. Her favorite is Cinderella. And this week she got to meet the entire family. Heleyna was in seventh heaven.
I have to admit my favorite was Druzella. Her vote on the new baby is that it will be a Prince.
As you can tell, Heleyna's favorites were Prince Charming and Princess Cinderella. What a dream come true for her to meet them both.
Disney World is such a magical place. And this year both kids are really enjoying it this year.
Yesterday we went to our secret place in Epcot to meet Mickey and Pluto (no we're not telling where it is). It was the first time Braden has ever met Mickey in person. We he turned the corner and saw Mickey there, he squealed with happiness and ran to Mickey with his arms wide open. I've never seen someone so happy. It was like his best friend had just moved in next door.
Of course Heleyna ran to Pluto and played with him. I think she would have taken him home if she had the chance.
Such a wonderful place, this Disney World.
Princess Heleyna has such a big following that she had to get a bodyguard. Thank goodness Braden works for jello. The two have such wonderful imaginations. Braden got a new pair of sunglasses and wouldn't take them off the entire day. And he now owns daddy's iphone. Just try taking it away. Sad part? He knows how to work it better than daddy.
What a trip! The whole family got to go to San Diego together. It was wonderful to be home and to have some time together. And even though the hotel had a pool, we were able to get Heleyna away long enough to visit Legoland. The kids had an amazing time. Braden and Heleyna got to drive a boat, ride a train, and play all over. Heleyna even got to drive her own car. And she was amazing! Braden got to be in a band, and found a maze that he thought was heaven. Ah, to see them having so much fun. This trip will definitely go down as tops in our book.
Heleyna and Braden are HUGE fishing fans. Fortunately they both have their own poles and we have a pond just down the street. Braden takes fishing very seriously. He grabs his fishing pole and tackle box and heads for the water. And Heleyna loves to feed the fish. The kids just love being outdoors and fishing together (now that they both have their own poles).
Heleyna turned four years old today! What an amazing day for her. She started the day by going to school. At school she had a special dance class, went on a field trip on the school bus, and had a picnic lunch.
Spring is in full swing here in New Jersey. The weather is warm and the trees and flowers are coming to life. Heleyna is especially excited that she has a pink tree in the yard.
The Easter Bunny visited Imagine That a little early this year. Braden and Heleyna loved saying Hi to him. Braden was especially attached to him. Braden was especially attached and the poor Easter Bunny just couldn't get away from him. So they just decided to have breakfast together.
What a great team that Braden and Heleyna. They're the life of the party wherever we go.
