I have to start off by saying that we did a poor job this Thanksgiving as we forgot to take pictures but this was because we had such a great time! We drove down to Sarasota for the day as my parents were at the Florida home for Thanksgiving this year. Mike and my mom did most of the cooking while myself, my dad, Michael and Ryan hung out and goofed around :) The meal turned out fantastic thanks to Mike and Grandma Ludwig! Michael slept through it! Worked out well though because it allowed for Mike and I to enjoy our meal :)
Since I had to work the following day, we were not able to spend the night in Sarasota. We did venture to Orlando though on Friday afternoon to spend some quality time with The Taylor's :) We checked into the hotel and Michael immediately found his hiding spot.

We met up with Adam and Amanda at our hotel then traveled over to Downtown Disney to shop and eat :) Amanda recommended the Rainforest Cafe and her recommendation was perfect. Michael was occupied the entire meal as he studied his surroundings. He is a big animal person so seeing monkeys and elephants just made his afternoon! The Rainforest Cafe also has a thunder storm that comes through every 30 minutes which was exciting too! We saw these awesome animal bar stools while we were waiting for our seats and we could not resist passing up getting a picture of our lil man on the giraffe!
They also had tons of aquariums throughout the place that Michael found appealing!
After we enjoyed our meal, we strolled around the downtown Disney area, hitting up some of the shops, stopping at the Disney stores. Michael is really now getting into Mickey Mouse :)
Downtown Disney had several areas throughout where these Christmas set ups were placed so we decided to get a family picture at one of them :) We were tempted to try Santa again since DD's setup is super nifty but figured we wouldn't torture the poor boy again since the first visit was a no go :)
We also took a picture of the expecting couple! That's right... Amanda and Adam are 3 months pregnant! Yay!
We had a wonderful afternoon with the Taylor's at Downtown Disney! We spent the rest of the evening at the Florida Mall, as well as the next morning, picking up some last minute Xmas presents for family :) Michael also turned 15 months old on our holiday weekend so be on the look out for that post!
