Day Three

Lollipops that the kids picked out at Downtown Disney! They were huge!

These Dogs and people were made out of Lego's. It was really neat!!!

Pat went to his conference today so I took the kids to Downtown Disney. It was a little hectic but we still had a great day. Later that night Pat bought us tickets to see Mickey's Very Merry Christmas which the park stays open late, Santa arrives, and Snow falls on Main Street and they had an awesome X-mas parade. There was hardly any lines for the rides so we ran on all of them. Pat and I told a little white lie to the kids saying we each had to go to the bathroom so we could take turns going on Thunder Mountain since there was no line.

Day Two Disney World

So our 2nd Day @ Disney we started our day off at MGM which we were a little bit disappointed in so we stayed an hour (just because there wasn't too much for the toddlers to do there) then headed to Epot for the rest of the afternoon.The best part about Epcot for the kids they had this Character Connection buliding and the kids where able to meet Mickey, Minnie, Chip & Dale, Goofey and Pluto. (I will show all the character pictures in a bit) We stayed at Epcot for probably 5 Hours and then we headed back to the Magic Kingdom where we stayed until midnight. Wow the kids where really tired but they had soooo much fun.

The Magic Kingdom

So after our character breakfast we headed to The Magic Kingdom. The kids had so much fun. They loved all the rides. Ethan's favorites were Dumbo, Pirates of the Carribean and Peter Pan. Presley really enjoyed It's a Small World and Peter Pan. We went on all the rides except the three big ones (Splash,Thunder and Space Mountain). The kids were so exhausted by the end of the day.

Charecter Breakfast

Our first morning and we did a characters breakfast. Ethan was so excited to see Mickey and Pluto. Presley was excited but a little nervous when the characters came to our table. They both weren't to sure about Stitch! Pat was excited to see Pluto too!

Are we there yet????

Early Friday morning we headed off to Florida to Walt Disney World. Ethan and Presley both did really well on the planes. Ethan slept from Seattle to Houston. When we arrived in Houston he asked if we were at Mickey's house yet. Nope not yet! The plane ride from Houston to Florida Presley slept. Finally at 5:30 we arrived!!!!! Here they are looking out the plane window to see if they can see Mickey's house.

Halloween Party

We went over to our friends house for a Halloween Party. All the kids looked so cute in there costumes. I can't believe that they aren't so sick after all the sugar they have had.

Ethan is Scooby Doo and Presley is a Pink Poodle Dog.

Pumpkin Carving

Saturday night Pat and I had our parents down for dinner and pumpkin carving. Pat and I helped Ethan and Presley make Jack-o-lanterns. This year Ethan really got into scooping the guts out of the pumpkin. While Presley enjoyed licking hers. YUCK!

Mom we haven't prayed yet!

The other night we were putting Ethan to bed. As usual he stalls. On the third time going up to his room I said, "Ethan, this is the last time I am coming up here. What do you need?" He said, "Mom we haven't prayed yet!" So I said, "Ok Ethan what would you like to thank God for today?" He said "for Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofey and Pluto." I said, " what about Mommy, Daddy, Presley, Papa & Nono, Grandpa and Grandma G. " He said, "Oh yeah I guess them too."

I thought that was so cute! I thought that I would share with all of you. Kids say the funniest things sometimes.

He definatly got his money's worth. Pat even one a raffle, a basket full of goodies and a hebrew national t-shirt. He proudly wore it.

We ate, drank and did the polka. My favorite was the chicken dance. Here are some silly pictures from the evening.
