Kaitlyn celebrated her birthday with 2nd cousin, Karinna; and cousins Sarah and Jonathan! Ice-skating was her choice!

This was the first year Mommy let the girls take and put out the breakable Nativity. They did a great job!

This also was the Christmas for their FIRST furry pet--a teddy bear hamster! Kaitlyn, as you can see, was soooo happy! She'd been asking God but didn't think her wish would ever come true.

We celebrated Kaitlyn's birthday the first day of our vacation, at Disney World's Magic Kingdom.The big surprise was a trio of balloons and a birthday card from her favorite Disney character, Simba (and his family) delivered to our room first thing in the morning!

At MGM Studios, we enjoyed watching Beauty & the Beast, High School Musical II, and, of course, the Fantasmic laser/ fireworks show!
What can we say, Cinderella's Castle is beautiful--especially during the Wishes fireworks show. Kaitlyn also got to visit with her other favorite Disney character, Ariel. And of course, they enjoyed eating lots of popcorn and Mickey ice cream bars.
May you find much to thank God for during this season. Have a beautiful Christmas centered on God who loves us so much He sacrificed His only Son to save us from our sins!
