Kindergarten Music Program

Right after Easter my doctor put me on pretty strict bedrest due to the tumor on my ovary. But I was not letting that stop me from going to Cara's only program her kindergarten year. Grandma and Grandpa Fox got there early to reserve me a front row seat so I didn't have to walk the bleachers. 



Such cute kindergarteners!  Well worth cheating on my bedrest to attend and I didn't have any problems so that is good :)

Easter 2012

Cara checking out her Easter basket for the first time!  Luckily I got her showered and in her Easter dress before because otherwise we would have been late for church since was so busy with her new gifts.
A Minnie Mouse purse (how did the Easter Bunny know she loved Minnie Mouse so much)



Family Picture after church with our pretty tree in bloom
Aunt Cyndi had joined us at church and came over for pictures after
We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Fox's for Easter dinner and an egg hunt
Loved seeing the excitement of the kids getting their eggs.  Each grandchild had a specific color to get so that made it more challenging.   Scott hid Dillon and Vince's to make it even harder for them.


And on the other side of the yard there were mismatched colors but each kid could get 7 more eggs
and going through the eggs was the best part!  Candy and money always makes kids happy

Easter dessert, such cute kiddos (but I am biased)

Easter Egg Hunt

Cara at the Easter Egg hunt at our local town park!  Hurry up to get there and wait and the Easter egg hunt lasts about 12 seconds.  But she has fun!

Easter Egg Time

I love that Cara is old enough to LOVE to dye eggs and after she asked me about 50 times when we could do it we finally got the eggs boiled and ready to go!

Grandpa and Grandma Fox were over at our house to see the artist at work



Here you can see Cara's hair wrap!  It is done with red, pink, purple and burgundy with beads at the end and a Princess crown dangling from the very end..

Disney Day 8

Cara had one thing on her agenda for our last day, to go to Animal Kingdom to see Pocahontas! So off we went!
Cara and Mommy at the bridge at Port Orleans.  We had to bring our luggage to bell services since we had to check out of our room before we could go to the park
Cara and her cute Minnie Mouse glassses


Waiting for the train in Animal Kingdom to go to Rafikki's Planet watch (this is where we have always found Pocahontas)
On the train, got to bring my scooter right on the train.  After going all the way there we found out that Pocahontas is now at Camp Minnie Mickey!  So back on the train and time to head over there!
Of course Cara was not going to pass up seeing Minnie Mouse while we were there

And we saw Goofy too!  Grandma took her to see Pocahontas while I waited in Minnie's line so I didn't get their picture yet.
But this HOT day (it was in the 90's) required an ice cream treat before we went back to the hotel

All week long Cara had been asking to get a hair wrap while we were there.  Unfortunately for my wallet they were open and we had time before we headed to the airport.  Cara was so thrilled though it was worth every penny (I guess)
Guess I didnt get a picture of the final result but she loves it!  They last for 2-6 months so we told her we at least had to leave it in until the new baby is here to make it worth the money!

After this we boarded the Magical Express and headed to the Orlando airport.  We got on our flight and had an uneventful trip home. Cara and I were sitting in row 16 and Grandma and Grandpa were in row 31 though so Cara got bored with Mommy and took a long nap!

Day 7 at Disney

We went back to Hollywood Studios on Monday! We had lunch reservations at Playhouse Disney at Hollywood and Vine.
Cara and Special Agent Oso
Handy Manny
June from Little Einsteins
Jake from the Netherland Pirates

We went back to Animation Studio and drew a picture of Winnie the Pooh. We rode Toy Story again.  Again no pictures because I was busy driving my scooter.  We called it an early day and went back to the hotel for Cara to swim and to pack since we would be leaving Tuesday evening.
