Merry Christmas!

We had such a very Merry Christmas this year surrounded by all of our favorite people. The boys must have been good because Santa brought lots of great toys and games, and they really were so excited about everything. Christmas day was full of presents, food and fun -  topped off with some red velvet cake. Merry, merry Christmas!

Disney - the end

The boys and I started our last day at Hollywood Studios. We rode a lot of fun rides, and I was happy to get their picture with at least two characters! After Hollywood, we swam some more at the pool - the boys loved the poolside games - and I couldn't resist taking a picture of them in their swimsuits next to the gingerbread house!

We wrapped up the night with Brian at Epcot and had a blast. We had dinner at the English pub and the boys finished getting stamps from every country.

We ended the night with fireworks - again!

Disney - Day 3

Brian had to work on Monday, so the boys and I spent the day at the pool and met Brian after work in the Magic Kingdom. We stayed for the electrical parade and got to see the castle all lit up with Christmas lights. We rushed back to the hotel just in time to catch the fireworks on the beach!

Disney - Day 2

We woke up bright and early on our first full day of Disney. We had a great breakfast at the Grand Floridian (awesome!) and took a boat ride to the Magic Kingdom. We were too busy having fun to take many pictures, but we had the best day. We saw and rode everything we wanted to, and Alex even rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! It was a special treat to see the MK all decorated for Christmas.

After a full day, we headed back to the hotel for swimming and nighttime fun on the beach.

Disney!

After leaving Memphis in the midst of an ice storm, we were very happy to arrive in sunny, warm Orlando. On our first day, we hit Epcot and loved it! The boys played the Phineas and Ferb scavenger hunt, we had dinner at Italy in the World Showcase and got an awesome view of the fireworks.
