The Wii Frenzy

Somehow I suspect that we are not alone this year, that many of you have just acquired or perhaps already acquired a Wii Game Console at your home. Santa brought ours and it has been quite the thing. Our family has especially loved the new Wii Fit and Balance Board. Here is a picture of Rebekah on a jog with Wii Fit, David is patiently awaiting his turn. Let us know if you have a Wii and are able to connect via the WFC. One other game the kids are hooked on is Animal Crossing: City Folk.

My Grandma Is The Best!

Jonathan found this trophy in the Disney store at Epcot Center and wanted to share it with his Grandmother because she is the best! We love you Mema!

Loving my kids!

The only thing missing from this picture is my beautiful wife who is behind the camera. One of our regular events is to visit Disney's Hollywood Studios and the Osbourne Family Spectacle of Lights on New York Street. Well, here is a picture of my kids and I during our annual visit to the fun. We had a blast as always!

Feeling a bit Froggy?

We found a great thing to do in the Innoventions area of EPCOT Center of Walt Disney World in Orlando. There is a live game show presented by The Velcro Family of Companies that tells you all about hook and loop technology. At the end of the fun show (and who know if you might actually be pulled up on stage as a contestant too) you exit the theatre to find a play area with hook and loop shapes. You can make different color frogs with all sorts of accessories. Here are a couple of the fun frogs we created and then put on Mema Leppert's back as we went around the park. Lots of fun!

Faces around the World at EPCOT!

As you exit the newly refurbished Spaceship Earth in Walt Disney World's EPCOT Center, there is a new world globe that places your photo on the world for a brief moment. My family was ultra creative and selected different countries around the world, this picture has everyone's picture (Sarah, David, Rebekah, Jonathan, Mema and Me). See if you can find us all!

Merry Christmas - Love Mickey and Goofy

I felt this was appropriate for Christmas Day, it seems that Mickey Mouse and Goofy arranged for a movie wreath to be made and sent to you on this special day! This wreath is part of the Christmas decorations at the All Star Movies Resort in the main hallway. Enjoy and may all of you have a very merry Christmas!

France's Santa - Pierre Noel

On a recent visit to Epcot Center at Walt Disney World, we enjoyed hearing about all the Christmas Traditions around the world. This picture is of Pierre Noel, the French Santa Claus. Looks like he has been on a diet :)

Father Christmas - Papa Noel!

Merry Christmas to all! Here is a picture of Father Christmas, otherwise known as Papa Noel in Canada at EPCOT Center in Orlando. Most of the countries around the world in Epcot share their own Christmas Stories, what a treat this time of year!

Southern Christmas Wreath

Here's a look from inside out at the Antebellum Plantation main house at Stone Mountain Park. The house was decorated for Christmas and put us in the spirit. Take a closer look and you will see my two sons and I outside awaiting the ladies as they inspect every square inch of the home.

Smile, You're on Candid Camera!

The top of Stone Mountain outside Atlanta, Georgia is one of the most beautiful views I have seen in recent years. Looking down at the pitted top of the mountain, one would think they were on the moon. Looking out, one would know they were in the heart of America. Here is a picture of my youngest recording the view for his brother's video of our vacation. What a great family time we had!

Holiday Cheer? Christmas Elf? What?

We recently visited a great restaurant and out of nowhere came this perky guy. We're still not sure if he is an elf (actually he is too tall for that), or exactly what he could be classified. At any rate, he was very entertaining and fun! I wanted to share this picture in case you were ever approached by a Banjo Picking, Christmas Attired, person of the sort.

Our Rich Blessings!

Here is a great picture we took at the Stone Mountain Park over Thanksgiving of our kids. How richly blessed we are! This was taken at the old school house in the historic village. What a memorable walk down history - everyone should take some time to visit this neat place!

Have You Seen This Child?

On our recent camping trip to the great north country in Georgia, we were all browsing around a store in Stone Mountain Park when all of a sudden I ran into this GIANT carton of milk with a very familiar face on the side. Has anyone this face? He looks very familiar, and fortunately was found right after this picture was taken!

Family Hug Fest!

This is one of the best sights for parents, seeing all three of their kids loving on each other in a group hug. This was snapped during our recent Thanksgiving trip to Stone Mountain, outside Atlanta in Georgia. Both boys hugging their sister, who was a bit down, hoping to revive her spirit - I know it worked cause giggles soon followed this picture!

Florida in Georgia - Huh?

On our recent camping trip to Stone Mountain Georgia, Sarah and the kids took this great picture as they climbed to the top of the great Stone Mountain. Can you believe it, a little stump of Florida (albiet in reverse) growing in the mountain. Just proves you should always keep your eyes open, you never know what you might find!

Stone Mountain Family Fun

What a great time we had as a family over Thanksgiving camping at Stone Mountain, Georgia. We might be looking a bit rough here, but here is a glimpse at some of our fun at Stone Mountain Park over Thanksgiving. It was BRRRRR cold at first, then got rainy. This is the cold part. I love this picture because David tries sometimes to get in the back of other pictures with odd looks on his face, and he did it again. Not to mention this is a great picture of Rebekah and me. I know you can barely see it, but Stone Mountain Park, specifically The Crossroads, was covered with more Christmas lights than ever and it was beautiful. I'll add more pictures soon.

Happy Jambalaya!

We recently took my father-in-law to Harry's for his 65th birthday celebration. My oldest son ordered Jambalaya and in it he found a large piece of chicken. After eating the chicken, it left the impression of a slight grin... what you see is what resulted a few minutes later! You can't help grinning at Jambalaya when it is grinning back at you! Yummy.
