Thanksgiving 2022: Disney Cruise, Day 1

We took a Disney cruise for Thanksgiving 2022...we sailed on the Disney Wish for the first time! It was a beautiful ship! Bud and Yiyia joined us! We had a wonderful, stress-free Thanksgiving! 

in Port Canaveral, the night before

Gracie loves stalking anything that moves. Iguanas are fun because they are sllooowww until they are fast. She also loves squirrels. And bunnies. And lizards. And birds. In that order.  

A rare glimpse of Walker at school - and his lunch table.

using my real camera...Gracie.

She's SO much work but I do love her.

Halloween 2022

Halloween with older kids is so different! 15 different different directions! 

Lainey and her friends were Bratz Dolls for Halloween.

Walker looks like a full-blown teenager in this photo.

Walker and his friend Chase...they had LED masks! Walker was "Chase" and Chase was "Walker."

Meghan and Matt (Chase's parents...aka Barbie and Ken) took the boys to another neighborhood...

Ryder (friend), Elle (Chase's sister), Chase, and Walker

Homecoming 2022

Lainey's homecoming at Calvary Christian Academy, 2022!

*No "coupling" for this event (she was fine with that)

*Dress HAD to be approved (after three tries, she found the right one!)

*She had a blast!

with her best friend Summer (we love Summer)

Hi Gracie.

I was NOT prepared for a photo - this might be the worst one of me ever taken - but here it is! :)
