I don't even know where to start!

You may all breathe a sigh of relief that you will not have to look at the same December pictures when you visit our blog now! It's not even that I've been too busy to update, it's just that so much has happened since my last post that I don't even know where to start!

Here's a little of what the Patterson Four have been up to:

Well, Christmas, of course! As always, surrounded by our family is our favorite way to spend the Holidays...Playing guitar with Uncle Steven

Pops reading to Julianne


A bike for Jacob and a slide for Julianne!!


Reading her new pop-up bible story book


Trying out his new wheels


A fire truck on Oma's street was pretty exciting!

After Christmas, the entire Patterson Clan (all 11 of us) headed to Disney World to ring in the new year! We had so much fun, and I really feel like we did almost everything that we wanted to do! I will admit that I got a little teary-eyed when we were on the boat from our resort to Magic Kingdom and I got a little glimpse of Cinderella's castle over the treetops! It really is a magical place!!
Our favorite things:

Justin - Mt. Everest in Animal Kingdom and Big Thunder Mountain in Magic Kingdom (he and Jacob rode Thunder Mountain AT LEAST 4 times in one day...)
Kristen - Soarin' at Epcot and Mt. Everest (even though it made me kind of sick to my stomach)
Jacob - "being at our cabin" (I guess because he got to sleep :) ) and Splash Mountain in MK
Julianne liked the Merry-Go-Round in MK and the live Finding Nemo show in AK.

Goofy!

Pizza Planet!
