Similarities

before Hadassah completely outgrew them, I wanted to take some pictures of her in some of my baby clothes 

below is me at 9 months and

  Hadassah     *     14 months

this is me (with my dad!) at the same age as Hadassah now 

and Corban at 14 months

 Hadassah is so sweet!
She has a wonderful, big laugh. 
She loves ice and straws. 
She is very nurturing and loves her baby dolls; she often has one in her arms to hold, rock, and hug. 
She copies her sister dancing (spinning around the room) and her brother's silliness (yesterday they were both walking around with toys next to their ears giggling).  She gets so excited when she hears Daddy coming home and shrieks at the top of the stairs until she sees him, but she is still adorably Mama's girl.  She likes to sort things, and understands to bring an item to someone or put it in the trash.

Recital

Abigail was in her first dance recital!

The dance group Abigail has participated with is Selah and Ms. Brittany is a wonderful teacher (and one of our favorite babysitters!).  Abigail is in the youngest ballet class and they performed The Nutcracker: Tea by Tchaikovsky at the 2nd Annual Gala.  All the girls did a wonderful job and Abigail has loved being a part of this class!

 

 

 

See You Real Soon

Corban and Abigail were in the children's show the last evening.

Abigail liked dancing with Minnie Mouse and we loved the huge smiles and waves (Corban second row, left and Abigail is front row, right) we got when they found us in the audience!

back at Port Canaveral

we had a GREAT trip!

unpacking!

Pirate Night

Corban decided at the last minute he wanted to join Abigail for a picture with Pirate Mickey.  He jumped in with sword drawn and that mischievous little grin (the cameraman told him he needed to put it down but I got this cute picture first!)

Disney is the only cruise line to do a fireworks show at sea!

Castaway Cay

We spent a day at Castaway Cay, Disney's private island in the Bahamas

Hadassah loved playing in the water and the sand!
