One week ago today we celebrated Grandpa's birthday a little early.  He will be 100 on the 16th.  These are all of his grand kids and great grand kids and one of his daughters.

Looking at Christmas decorations at The Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge, TN.

We went to Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge for the weekend and went to the Wonderworks.  Jacob is playing the harp with no strings.  It was really cool.  Also, can you see the candlestick in the picture behind the harp?

The green witch is my good friend Andrea (pronounced On Dre A).  She invited me to a halloween party with her.  All of these people are so friendly.  They are all from Columbia and now live here in the states.  Dorothy looks a lot like Shakira and as it turns out, they are both from the same small town.

It is November 4th and this little gem is hanging on for dear life.  They are calling for a slight chance of snow flurries tomorrow.

I love this color of leaves.  This tree is in my neighbor's yard and I love it.  This picture was taken just two weeks ago and all of these leaves are gone.

She's getting so big so fast.  She's 9 soon to be 10.  I'm about to have one in double digits.  Love her whiskey brown eyes.

My niece Mady.  She looks just like her mommy when she was this age.

Went to my mother in laws family reunion yesterday.  Here she is with her brother Kenneth and my father in law.

Here's another picture from Disney World.  Sunday morning we went Hollywood Studios and it was HOT!  101 degrees at 9:30 in the morning.

Still playing with the new lens.  This is across three parking spaces and a side road and I love the bokeh.

I've gotta say that I love my Toyota Sequoia.  I'm coming up on two years of ownership and it's the first time I haven't already started looking for my next car.

The morning we went to the Hollywood Studios park it was 101 at 9:00 a.m.  We let the kids play at the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground and Eden found the coolest spot on the playground.  Apparently there was a cool breeze blowing in.  BTW.  That drink in her hand cost us $2.50.

The day we left, we wanted to get pictures of the kids at the fountain in the hotel.  As we were taking pictures, this nice couple walked up and wanted to know if they could take some pictures with the kids.  This sweet lady explained to me that they have grandchildren and they were missing them.  My kids were happy to be subs for a few shots.

This was the must have autographs for Eden.  I had to call the Disney customer service line and ask where Lilo & Stitch would be hanging out so that we could get them.  This was at the Animal Kingdom.  When we got in the car to go back to the hotel, the dashboard thermostat read 115.  We had to turn the air on before we could sit on the leather seats of the rental car.  If we ever do Disney again, it will be in Novemeber. ;o)

The kids really enjoyed getting the character autographs.  We loved it because most of the meet and greets were inside in the air conditioning.

When Mike and I went to Disney for our honeymoon all you could get were classic Mickey ears.  Now you can pick out the base of the hat and what kind of ears.  They snap right on.

We flew into Orlando Friday around 3:30.  By the time we picked up the rental car and checked into our room it was close to dinner time.  We went to Epcot and got a bite to eat and had the kids pose in front of the World Showcase Lagoon.  I love the Epcot ball in the background and the kids expressions.

One sunset closer to a flight to Disney World.

Eden has been the first picture on every digital camera we have bought since we bought our first DSLR.  The Canon T1i was no exception.  I'll be posting pictures from Disney and small video clips taken with the T1i on my personal blog.
