Best. Trip. Ever! Part 1

We recently got back from California where we went with my parents and my brothers family to Disneyland!!! In the previous post I showed the video of Ryan and I surprising the kids with the trip and from that moment on we were in Disney mode!! 
The trip was a gift from my parents for Christmas, and it was our favorite family trip to date!  There were many reasons why it was so great, but seeing the smiles on both my kids faces AND my parents faces was the best! And watching Ryan bond with Avery this trip was priceless! So many special memories were made there.  We can't wait to go back!!
There were HUNDREDS of pictures taken throughout the trip and I want to post them ALL, but I'll only post my favorites! (which is still a lot!)  Have to break this trip into several posts. :) Enjoy!

What a Gentleman!

Helping little sister!  Great sibling moment, making mommy proud! :)


4 year Stats!

I can't believe my little boy is now a big 4 year old!  Four years ago I changed from being a daughter and wife to a Mother. One of the best days of my life. Sage is a ball of energy with a sweet heart.

Sage is 3 ft. 6 in. which puts him in the 84percentile.  The doctor says if he keeps this growth pattern he will be 6 ft tall when he grows up!  Sage is in the 60th percentile weighing 37.6 lbs.
His eyes and ears checked out great (although I did realize we need to work on recognizing certain letters)

 


Some of Sage's favorite things
Dressing up (prince, pirate, fireman, cowboy, ect)
swimming
playing with his bow and arrow,
playing with the "big kids" on the street,
visiting Houston Oaks to play golf
School (M,W,F)
swinging
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
chicken nuggets
playing on Daddy's I Pad
Jake and The Neverland Pirates
watching movies
Playing soccer
Playing with his friends
Painting
Going to Gymnastics
spending time with his grandparents
fishing

On Sage's actual birthday we went to a park to release some butterflies that his Mimi got him. We have watched them since they were caterpillars and he was so excited to set them free!  We invited some friends to help us celebrate.

Very Impressed!

I was very impressed with the Woodlands Children's Museum!  There was so much to do! Nana and I had a great time watching the kids enjoy all the fun stations!!
Fishing
 
Store and play house 


 

 
Dress up!

 
LIGHTS!


 
Legos
 
Fire House




 
Rice Tables

 
Story Time

 
This stuff is NOT sand.  Its like cut up tire pieces or something.  Not as messy!
 
 
Crafts

 
Sage loved this tube that just blew air.  He was very interested in what it could make float. :)

 

Bye Bye Aeros!!

The day after Sage's birthday party we all went to the Aeros game.  It was the Houston Aeros last game in Houston. The hockey team is moving and we all wanted to send them off together.  A lot of memories have been made at those hockey games since I was in High School.  It was so cool to have all of us there with our own children to say goodbye.  Fun times!
