So unless you have a kid that likes The Lego Movie you probably don't have any idea why this post is titled "Everything is Awesome." However if you do then you probably started singing the song right away, haha! Anyone who knows James knows he LOVES legos and has been begging to go to Legoland for a long time. This past fall, sometime during our family crisis when I was feel intense mom guilt over the months of craziness we put James and Harrison through I made a promise that I would take the boys when the babies were healthy enough to be left. James Holland is one of those kids who once you say something he will never let you forget it! All kidding aside it did give us something to look forward to during that time and I really do think James and Harrison deserved some special time with mom after everything they went through- it had been a tough year and they handled it so well. So... off to Florida we went!

 |
| I got this picture from Ryan that day. I was super sad to leave the babies (not to mention traveling while you are nursing is not the easiest thing logistically) but thankfully Ryan, Nana, and Granny Baker took great care of them for me. I knew they were in great hands! |
 |
| Characters were always walking around the lobby |
