2001 was a great year for Lizzie and me.  The highlight was being able to take my family on a dream vacation to Disney World, due mostly to my job which allowed me to attend the yearly MRO conference.  Here are some pictures of our vacation, Lizzie's birthday party, Halloween, and Christmas.

We spent two days at Magic Kingdom. This is a pic of the daylight parade. The night time parade is absolutely fabulous.

A picture of Cinderella's Palace in the Magic Kingdom.

I called about a month in advance of our trip to make reservations for lunch at Cinderella's Palace. Liz got to meet and greet Cinderella and Prince Charming in the waiting room before we went up to the restaurant.

Liz met Winnie the Pooh and got his autograph!

We spent the next day at Epcot. While eating at one of the restaurants, Mickey came by to say hello.

too cute...

 

Lizzie, at my mother's retirement party, summer 2001. Mom, Dad, Kris, Ryan, and Liz at mom's retirement party.

Lizzie on her 4th birthday.  She attended a Montessori school where they held a special ceremony for each child to celebrate the occasion.

Miss Holly explained to the kids what they are going to do.  The birthday child walks around the sun for every year he/she has lived.  The other children sing a song "here we go round the sun...".

Lizzie at her birthday party.  It was held at her gymnastics studio.  This is a picture of Lizzie in the foam pit. 

There's Sam, in the foam pit...Sam was Liz's boyfriend, if you could call him that. After all, they were only FOUR!

 

This is a pic of Sam rock climbing.  He made it to the top!

One of Liz's best friends, Cynthia, tries rock climbing too.

Lizzie at Halloween.  I bought her this costume at Cinderella's Palace while we were at Disney World.

Sam and his family came over so the kids could trick-or-treat together.  Sam dressed up as Anakin from Star Wars.

This is a pic of Sam's sister, Sarah.  She dressed up as an Astros' cheerleader.  Her dad is a huge Astros fan.

Liz and Sam pose for a picture before venturing out.

Another photo of Lizzie in her costume.

Thanksgiving!  My older brother Jeff with Lizzie.
They look very much alike... except Jeff is half Italian, and Liz is half Berber (Moroccan). Second cousins Matthew, Liz, and Morgan.

Christmas!  Every year Santa and Mrs. Claus visit my parents neighborhood to see all the kids.  This is a photo of Liz with the Claus'.

Christmas morning... Liz is pointing at the cookie Santa took a bite of while setting up her presents.

More presents!

 

 

Liz got a guitar / microphone set.  This is her adjusting the mix to sing.
