Christmas in Mid January

This year was the in laws year, so we celebrated with my family in the middle of January. You ask why so late? It's because of this gorgeous lady below! She works on the weekends so we had to find a Sunday where she would be available to celebrate with us.

Apparently the markers were a big hit with the girls!

The cute and adorable and lovable Doud family.

Sheesh...always looking through my purse. Get your own!

The cutest Doud...Betsey

The girls among the mess of presents.

Taylor in shock about something...kind of spooky if you ask me.

Our matriarch...with her new grandbaby Betsey

Merry Christmas to you all!

Princess and the Frog

Misty's mom's club was going to the premiere of Princess and the Frog at the Disney Studios in Burbank so the girls and I tagged along. While we were waiting to get inside the theatre, Mickey was dying to take a picture with all of us!

After the movie, we were able to go and meet all of the princesses...including the newest one, Princess Tiana.

Timaree and Quincey meeting Sleeping Beauty...

In line for Princess Tiana...

Now...POSE!

Quincey asking Ariel where she can find that shell bra of hers...

Next stop...Cinderella. Presley wouldn't take any pictures with the princesses unless I was in them. So...no pictures of Pres...only with Tiana.

I like this one a lot!

The only princesses we didn't stop to take a picture with were Snow White, Pocahontas, and Mulan. Quincey was not happy...seriously...I was princessed out! Plus I got two of my own!! I know...hilarious...

Disneyland with the Aunties

My cousin Erin came into town for Thanksgiving and wanted to go with the girls to Disneyland. Quincey always has so much fun with Erin.

Enjoying the sucker Erin bought the girls.

Erin bought the girls Mickey Mouse ears for her and the girls.

Erin and her girlfriend Liz. Nice ears Erin!

Cuz's...we are exactly one month apart.

There's my other cousin Taylor. We love Taylor too! We have lots of lunch dates at the Nordstrom Cafe together.

Erin, too excited to be on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

Thanks ladies for the great day and to Erin for spoiling my girls!

Quincey is 6!

I can't believe Quincey is already 6 years old! She is such a sweet little girl. She is very helpful, she is very compassionate, she is very loving, and she is, overall, just a great girl. Quincey has lots of friends and befriends kids everywhere we go. She is very social!

Every year, Grandma and Quincey share their family birthday party.

The Doud/Coles gals!

Quincey is way into Little Pet Shops so this gift was a big hit!

Happy Birthday to you!

I brought sugar cookies to Quincey's class on her birthday so this is her class walking out to the benches to eat one.

After school, we took Quincey and a couple friends to Disneyland to help her celebrate. Trevor and Jaidynn both have passes. Jaidynn's family also came. It was a great day.

We ate dinner at the Pizza Port. Not too delicious.

Jaidynn's sister Janessa, Quincey, Jaidynn, and Trevor in front of It's a Small World.

Happy Birthday Quincey! We love you!

Grandma Witch almost has Presley happy.

The Emersons', Startups', and Kirks' joined our family for our annual Chili Night on Halloween. So glad they were all able to make it.

Happy Halloween!
