Christmas in Disney (Well, Almost)

'Twas the night before Disney, and all through the house.  Not a creature was stirring....well, except for Sumper and his new elf friend, Kitty!  My cousin's family came to the house before heading to DISNEY!  Raegan's elf, Kitty joined the party and Mickey and some of his friends waited on the mantel to say goodbye!
 While Andrew was at school, Aubrey and Raegan had a great time playing. 
We finally made it to Disney and after getting a good night's rest, we hit the Magic Kingdom bright and early.

You know our first ride HAS to be Dumbo!
 Aubrey slept through the whole thing!


We ate lunch at the castle with Cinderella and her princess friends.








You know Drew has to have his picture made with Snow White!


It's a small world
 My favorite part about Disney at Christmas?  The Castle!
 That night was Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.  It had been a long day and the kids were tired.  Well, Aubrey and Raegan were fine.  
Both of the boys fell asleep waiting on the parade!
 We woke them up before show time.

 I finally got to eat the yummy fruit and nutella waffle at Sleepy Hollow.  So this was my parade snack!








 Snowing on Main Street!
Our second day was spent at Epcot.  The kids were dressed for pictures with Santa.  They look happy right?

Sure...it's all smiles until you put Santa in the equation!
 Soarin'
 Trace Atkins did the narration at the Candlelight Processional.

 The highlight of my night:  Sweet potato casserole waffle and...
 turkey and dressing waffle!  They were both delicious!
hotel fun with her free Minnie (thanks to the cast member at Mouse Gear for Aubrey's first "Magical Moment")
Our next day was spent at Animal Kindgom and Hollywood Studios.  We FINALLY got Andrew to ride Expedition Everest.  He loved it, just like we knew he would.  

 We met up with our friends, the Pecina's.  The Skipper and Drew were picked as volunteers in the backlot tour show.  The kids loved it!



 After a long, but fun day Aubrey is still going strong as we're walking out the door at midnight!




We had a blast and we're so glad that Jason and Traci went with us.  Now since it's December 22nd, we'd better hurry home.  We have a CRAZY Christmas schedule ahead of us!
