Thanksgiving in FL

Here are a few photos from Orlando, where we (Jeff, Mirah and I, and his brother and parents) went to celebrate Thanksgiving with his aunt, uncle, and cousins who live there. These are from Downtown Disney, where we walked around in the fabulous weather on Saturday before heading to the airport. They had a statue of Princess Aurora, aka Sleeping Beauty:
and a huge dragon made of legos:and the best part, as far as Mirah was concerned, a train and carousel that she could ride! Here we are on the train:

Here are Aunt Deb and grandma Karen cheering us on on the carousel:
I have a really goofy expression, but I'm adding this one to show that Mirah was a fearless little girl, she even let go to wave after a while!
Mirah had so much fun, we had to go twice on each ride, and even that wasn't enough! It should be fun to go back to actual Disney when she's older and can appreciate it, but these "rides" were great for her first trip!

matchin' kicks

Auntie Leigh Leigh and Mirah have the same shoes (albeit different sizes)

More recent pics

So Leigh gave me the memory card from her camera with LOTS of great recent photos, so here we go:
On a recent visit by my parents, we managed to catch a photo of all of us at once, squeezed into Leigh's kitchen.

And then here's a snuggly moment with the whole (immediate) family--just me and Mirah, Jeff...and his iphone!
Here's a jaunty hat my mom got Mirah for her birthday (there's an outfit to match, we'll wear it for Christmas)
And another warm winter option from Mom...well, the face says it all. (It's ok, mom, she'll like it when it's cold! Nanook of the North did :)
And just to wrap up, a nice photo of the spread at Mirah's party, since I didn't have a good pic of it on my camera. It was a fairy cake!
