Rockstar in Training

Holly loves that we have Guitar Hero. She begs to play it everyday, but not in the whining sense. She loves to play the game with Justin and all of his friends. She's pretty good and singing to some of the songs. So we've decided she can be our ballerina-rockstar child.

She'll keep right on track with beat to most of the songs and is trying to figure out how to use the guitar. She's pretty good on the drums though.
This her preparing for her favorite song, "What I've Done" by Linkin Park.

This was Holly waiting for her dad to start Guitar Hero.

Holly, Flower Girl-to-be

 

Here's Holly in her new flower girl dresses for Ashley's wedding. Isn't she absolutely adorable? My friend Jamie did an amazing job on the pictures. The one with the little fairy on it really touched Holly and made her cry. Mostly because she loves Tinkerbell and fairies now.

Hollywood Studios/Magic Kingdom Memories 4

 

Our trip came to an end the last day as we went to Hollywood Studios. Holly got to go to see Playhouse Disney, Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast musicals. It was so much fun. Tiff got sick and had to rest in the park for a few. Holly was presented with a special exclusive pin for the commerative year at Disneyworld by a Cast Member. We went one last day to the Magic Kingdom and enjoyed our last ride on It's a Small World, which became Holly's favorite. We had so much fun being with family we didn't want to leave. We will cherish these memories forever.

Epcot Memories

 

While at Epcot, we traveled around the world in a matter of miles! We went to China, France, Japan, England, Canada, America, Germany, Italy, and Morocco. Jason ordered in French for some crepes, glacee', and some delicious patisseries! It was so much fun. We ate our way through Epcot almost. The Fish N Chips were divine! Justin got to become the court Jester of the famous Shakespearean play, Romeo and Edna. That's what he gets for being a grump some of the days. It was a lot of fun and we got to find Justin's family name in the book of names in England. We even got to go to the Test Track and race a car, we went Soarin over California as well. Holly loved flying on that one with her Daddy.

Animal Kingdom Memories

 

We had a lot of fun in the Animal Kingdom. The Tree of Life was amazing. See how many animals you can find! Monkeys in the morning greeted us as we made the trail to Mt. Everest. What a rush that ride was!!! I believe my dad went on it at least 10 times the days we were there. A little duck came to talk to Justin about eating his cousin's leg. Ha ha ha. Holly had a ton of fun up at the petting zoo and finding bugs with Grandma Nicholls. Each park had a Christmas tree that was decorated to fit the theme of each park. I loved this one because of all the hand carved wooden ornaments.
