We're back and we had a blast!!!!! {Disney Day 1}
We're back from 8 days at the happiest place on earth and man, oh man, was it fUn!!!! {and exhausting!}
But the bags have been unpacked and the laundry pile is now gone {yippee!} so please bear with me while I pick and choose which of the 1006 photos to add to this, our online scrapbook :) Yes, I'm going to have to be Disney-obnoxious for about a week or so, so feel free to come back then if Disney is not your thing.
When I'm all done with Disney pics I'll have to tell you why my heart is bursting at the seams and what I'm so very grateful for this Thanksgiving.
{Disney Day 1}
We woke the littles up at 4:45a on Thursday, November 15th so we could be at the airport on time for our 6:30a flight. Mickey mail was our bribe...
Movies and Autograph Books...woo hoo!
Quick family pic and we're off!
And lickety split we arrived in Orlando and headed to our hotel...
...and while the Disney folks took our luggage to our room {yay for that!} we made our way to the Magic Kingdom...
We're here!!
Family pic...
Seeing the castle is magical, no matter how old you are!
First up...the teacups, of course!!!
Next, my very favorite...
Lots and lots of pics...sorry, it's my fave!!!
I even bought a Dumbo ornament for our tree this year!! ;)
Enter the Disney dining plan...he he...thank goodness for that! :) {...actually, that darn plan made me gain 2 lbs in 1 week!!! yes, even with all the walking!! arrgh}
Another favorite...It's a Small World!
So, so pretty!
This little sheep reminded me of those vintage Irmi lamps!!
Those eyelashes!!!! Love!!
And then she spotted it...
It was love at first sight...
Pleeeeeaaase, mama??!?!
She even got a sprinklin' of pixie dust from the sweetest little lady...
"Mama, can you see the sparkles?? I can FEEL them!" love her.
I'm so glad I waited to buy her a dress-up 'till we were there. It was such a fun moment for us girls.
Last ride for the day...Prince Charming's Regal Carousel!
The Castle, ooooh, the Castle!
And then when we got back to the hotel.........Mickey Mail was waiting for them. Yep, Mickey Mail was a HIT with the littles! {thanks again, Andrea!!}
Her very own Rapunzel nightgown!!
{so sweet to see how excited they were even over something as simple as pajamas}
And Spidey pj's for Hudson!
Our first day at Disney was everything I had hoped for and more! Their smiles, big eyes full of excitement, sweet hugs, ooohs and aaahs, and "thank-you for bringing us here"...it may sound cheesy, but indeed this is what making memories is all about. Love it all!
