2013 Catch-Up: December at Disney World

In early December, it was time for our annual trip to Walt Disney World!  Lollie and Pops (my mom and dad) joined us for a short weekend trip to see the mouse.  We were lucky enough to have a room in the new Grand Floridian Villas, and they were absolutely gorgeous!

Safety First!  Glad someone reads those safety cards...

Day 1:  Magic Kingdom - Very Merry Christmas Party
We love Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party!
Pretty sure we rode the Carousel at least 30 times...
Teacups!
Dumbo was the favorite ride this year!
Chatting with Doc during the Christmas parade

Day 2:  Lollie's Birthday - Breakfast at Cinderella's Castle, Hollywood Studios and the Spectacle of Dancing Lights

Happy Birthday, Lollie!  Lindsay took this picture all by herself. :)

She wanted to wear this Snow White dress every day of the trip, and for the most part, we let her.  Easier than arguing with a 2-year-old!
We felt like VIPs when we were able to go into Magic Kingdom before park opening for our breakfast reservation.  So  peaceful and quiet.
Lindsay LOVES Snow White -- she is always so sweet when we meet her!
Toy Story Mania at Hollywood Studios.  Lindsay is almost big enough to see over the side of the car now!
Lollie's birthday dinner  -- California Grill at the Contemporary Resort

Day 3:  Epcot and the Candlelight Processional

We found a Lindsay-sized sombrero in Mexico in Epcot!
She loved watching the fish at the Finding Nemo aquarium.
We always have fun meeting Chip and Dale!

Day 4:  More Magic Kingdom Fun

Merry Christmas from Magic Kingdom!
Lindsay's second favorite ride -- the monorail!
Lollie and Pops on the Astro Blasters at Magic Kingdom
We are so glad Lollie and Pops were able to come with us to Disney World this year!  We had a blast!

And We're Back!


Whew!  It's been awhile since I've blogged... for good reason!  We have packed up and moved halfway across the country to beautiful, sunny California.  Now that I've gotten most of our boxes unpacked and my computer set up, I'll start posting more about our fun adventures out here.  I also have a few events to catch up on from 2013 -- a Disney World trip, Christmas, and L's 3rd birthday.  Glad to be back online! :)
