Mclean's Christmas

After Disney world we drove about 3 hours south to my mom's house. It was nice and warm, whereas Orlando was cold and rainy most days we were there. Naples was wonderful. Santa made arrangements to come, and it was fun. And then it was my birthday! At this precise moment I am forgetting how old I am. 30? 31? No idea.. :)Here is how I spent my birthday: Being on the beach makes me the happiest person alive. It was a great birthday!

Disney World

We were super blessed this year when Tyler's grandma Carol Henrichsen took everyone to Disney World. There were 48 people in all. Really impressive! We had a great time exploring and catching up with family that we had not seen in years. Here is Grandma and all of her kids. Our family. And everyone together. After we took the family pictures we all sang Grandma a few songs and presented her with letters and pictures about special memories. It was very sweet. Here are some of my favorite Disney pictures. There were too many to choose from! And North discovered his first love.

Christmas!

Before we took off to Disney we celebrated Christmas with my Dad and Grandma and Aunt Dee. The soup and cornbread were a hit!



The girls enjoyed their presents.


I got to spoil Grandpa.



And the girls got a lot of Brave stuff. The next morning we did Christmas from Tyler and I.

Pre Christmas

We got the girls some bunk beds to make room for another bed in their room. Ava was so excited!




Violet had a mini dance recital.



And we went ice skating at Campus Martius park in Downtown Detroit. It was really fun.

From 2013

Audrey came too!

Up North and Thanksgiving

We went up north with the Govern's early in November. It was so fun!

Here are the girls with an egg they found lying outside the hen's nest.



Riding KC. Ava even remembered his name!





Nothing like a dozen free freshly laid eggs! This was my highlight.



Ava on KC.



Nisha and Michelle working hard in the kitchen.



We probably had a dessert to person ratio of 4:1



One of the worst family photos in family history. (Except Ava)



At Dad's house. He cooked a turkey all by himself for us! Probably the last holiday at the house before he sells it in the spring.
