I will talk to Chad and def let you know. I know that we are going to PCB with my parents April 24th through the 30th. I mean, even if we can only make it for a long weekend to the mountains would be fine with me!!

[bertegirl]

Ok...you are all making me totally jealous. Can't wait to email my brother in law and tell him how excited we will be to come visit him when he gets back. He is going to wonder how I know so much about Tenn. Hmm?

[iluv2go2disney]

You should be OK for snow, at least at Ober. We taking our kids to Ober this year also. My DH and I have been but they haven't. We love Bubba Gumps but we haven't ever eaten at the Red Rooster. We have tried alot of places down there though. And I think we loved most of them. The Apple Barn is one of our favorites. We actually got married there. It snowed and we got stuck on a mountain. We had to be rescued from our honeymoon. Then they closed the interstates and our family couldn't get home. Yeah, we definately have some great Gatlinburg memories.

I sure hope so! I remember when my friend got married at Cupid's in Gatlinburg and we went and ate at Alabama Grill. we had to leave early because it was snowing so bad!!!
I love the apple barn...especially the muscadine wine in the winery!!:rotfl2: I want to buy me a cute picnic basket this time!

AWwwww, I bet it was so beautiful with all the snow!! How cool for it to snow during your wedding!!

[akayek31]

well at least you can still be my Disney guide/tutor :lmao: I am sooo jealous you get to stay at the Hard Rock :sad1:

[hlrababy]

well at least you can still be my Disney guide/tutor :lmao: I am sooo jealous you get to stay at the Hard Rock :sad1:

That is true!!!!

I know, I am excited about staying there!!!! I can't wait to head back to HHN!! It is so fun!!

[CanadianWDWfan]

I'm here !!! :wave2: I didn't get lost. :rotfl2:

I have been away from the DIS for a few days (:sick: ) and this happens, I am sad for you. So sorry you have decided to cancel Feb.trip. :hug:

Our "new" focus will now shift to the next best thing. Planning another trip! :woohoo:

Kids are so funny, they are happy to go anywhere, as long as you make it fun. Hollie will be fine.

If it's snow you want I got TONS!!! We got a dumping today.

I can't wait to see what happens next. ;)

[xoktenox]

I'm here :goodvibes

A little disappointing that you guys had to postpone your trip, I know what its like because we had to do that for the trip that we're planning now. But, it just gives you something to look forward to. Oh, and depending on the money situation and a few other things, we might be there at the same time as you in Nov! BF's bday is Nov 22 and I want to see the xmas stuff down there and I think it should be up by then. It would be cool if we were there at the same time :thumbsup2

[punkin413]

i'm here! sad that you aren't going in february but happy you're going on a bigger trip in november! come march you will be too because you'll still have something to look forward to! ;)

I only know one person that works there. Brian. He worked with me at Hard Rock years ago. I've only been in there one time! :goodvibes It's a nice restaurant!

OMG baby DS LOVED the "snow"! Poor thing thought it was real and tried to catch it. No snowman for you honey! :lmao: LMK on the dates. Ms Farrah needs to get her hiney on here more. Where is she?

[jordanyosh]

I'm in....

[Charleston Princess]

Here I am! :goodvibes

[MeMom]

Well, I'm disappointed for no February trip, but happy for a trip to my fair state. Gatlinburg will be great. You'll give us a mini-trip report on that, right? I say every fall that we should drive up and see the leaves and stay at least overnight and do something, but we never do. It has been many years since we've been up there. It's a great place for shopping ;) , and of course you have to eat at a pancake house while you're there. It's a requirement!

So, I guess for now you can put away your warm weather packing and pull out the parkas! I'm always up for seeing pictures of anywhere anyone goes.

[Lesprivate]

Sorry you had to cancel your February trip. This is going to be the longest ptr ever.:rotfl:

[GeminiAngel]

In for what be the longest haul ever!!!:rotfl:

[ariel2007]

No fair, you posted after I went to bed and now you are on page 2 already before I even got here :sad1:.

You have an excited year of trips planned, 3 great places, I love them all. I hope you are planning on doing a mini-trip report on Gatlinburg and Universal too :rolleyes1. I love Gatlinburg and that area, quite fancy moving there actually. We really liked the Park Grill and Hard Rock and then the Apple Barn which I see you mentioned. All the shops and winery were closed when we were there though so will definitely have to back to check it out next time. We quite liked the Old Mill too, the pecan pie is so good :lovestruc

I remember that picture of you 3, its so cool. Chad looks so funny in his Superman pose :laughing:

I can't remember her name right off. I will have to ask Nola.
Awww, did he!! I really want her to see snow since she hasn't seen any before. We had actually thought about taking her to "Snow" mountain. They turned Stone Mountain into a place to ride tubes and stuff.
She really does need to get here!! OOOOOH FARRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHH!!

I'm in....

Hey Jordan!!! I am glad your here!

We love visiting Hard Rock and the Apple Barn. There are so many things there!!
lol!! He does look funny trying to pose!!

Ooh I forgot about the Park Grill. We love it. Have you eaten there Heather?

Yes, and its a funny story!! We ate there for the first time last year. I usually order chicken. Well, we got our bill and I kid you not, it was like $80 something dollars!! I wish I had took a picture of Chad's face!! It was priceless!! We usually don't eat and it end up that much. But, it was funny. Oh, and I did have a yummy drink!:lmao:

I just wanted to ask what will happen to the pink Tink outfit ??? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Well, that outfit will be worn to Gatlinburg!! lol!!!! Plus, hopefully we will get a cool day in November and I can wear it then!:lmao:

[hlrababy]

Well, I have a couple of plans! It all depends on what day the MVMCP happens! But, as of right now here are some plans I am throwing out!


Tuesday, Nov. 17th. maybe that night O'hana

Wednesday, Nov. 18th. We will either go to Epcot or Universal that day. If we go to Epcot, I am sure we will eat at either CR or SAI!

Thursday, Nov. 19th. either Epcot or Universal. Unless MVMCP

Friday, Nov. 20th. hopefully a MVMCP. If not, then another park.

Saturday, Nov. 21st. More than likely MK.

Now, we might end up leaving that Monday night to come down. So, if we do we will just get a cheap hotel off property.

The day we go to MVMCP I think we are going to take Hollie to BBB to get her hair and makeup done! Now, she still talks about getting it done in 2007. She said she wanted me to get it done too. Now, the only way I would do this is if I got the Fairytale Princess hairstyle. You all know me, I don't like anyone doing my makeup at all!!! lol! But, to keep Hollie happy, I will let them "put a little" on my eyes!! But, I doubt I will do it. Especially since my hair is so short!

I wanted to add some pictures but for some reason my laptop is going slow and its taking forever for photobucket to upload! So I will do that tomorrow!

[ariel2007]

Oh, I will definately do a mini trip to Gatlinburg! I am really excited! Ooooh, you should move there!! Then I can visit!:goodvibes
We love visiting Hard Rock and the Apple Barn. There are so many things there!!
lol!! He does look funny trying to pose!!


Yes that would be really fun. I fancy having a nice big cabin in the mountains with a stunning view. But I fancy one on the flat so we can have a big garden too where we can sit out and have cocktails when you come to visit. I don't ask for much do I ;). What other restaurants do you recommend in the area then?

I loved Park Grill, the food was so good. Sophie got steak and asked for it medium rare and they thought she was mad, they kept trying to persuade her to get it well. That girl is an animal I tell you :laughing:. I loved the decor too, the big bears are so cute.

Oh my goodness!! That would sound gorgeous!!!! I love the views from the moutains!! But, that garden sounds wonderful to sit out in and have some cocktails!!! Yummo!!!!

I loved Park Grill too!!! I really loved the salad bar, they had so much on it! LOL! That is so funny she ordered her steak medium rare!!!!! lol!! I don't hardy eat steak, but when I do it has to be well done!

[BridetobeDisney]

I'm here!! I found you! I'm looking forward to hearing about your feb. trip to Tenn. I love Gatlinburg. I want to see it decorated for Christmas. I hear it's beautiful!

I'm replying from my iPhone and it's the first time I have done it so it may not make total sense. Yes the salad bar is good, but the main courses were so good. I had steak too and it was yummy but had mine medium, not dripping with blood like sophie, she loved the blood, how weird is she?

So if I move over you have to come visit all the time so I don't get lonely stuck in the mountains. How far do you live from there,

[xoktenox]

Ooooh, no way!!! That would be really cool if we are there at the same time!!!!! You will have to keep me updated!:happytv:
We have been to Disney the 2nd week in November and they had the Christmas decorations up!

I know, how cool would that be?! I will definitely keep you updated with it, I was playing around yesterday pricing out trips for Nov. 20th-25th. I'm so glad to hear that the decorations will be up! :goodvibes

[Villainess]

I'm joining in your new PTR! Great itinerary so far!

[ariel2007]

Me: I love all things Disney!! My favorite characters are Tigger and Tinkerbell. Chad and I met working at Six Flags over Georgia in 94. We dated a while and then broke up. got back together in 97 and a couple of months later went to Disney. We got engaged while we were in front of Cinderella's Castle. Awwwww......we got married May 15, 1999 and took a Disneymoon immediately after!

Awww, cool!!! I loved the salad bar and my chicken that I got from them! It was really good!!

Oh my goodness, that is so funny she likes hers kind of rare!! She is silly!!!

It only takes us like 3 1/2 hours to get there! Not that far at all!:goodvibes

I know, how cool would that be?! I will definitely keep you updated with it, I was playing around yesterday pricing out trips for Nov. 20th-25th. I'm so glad to hear that the decorations will be up! :goodvibes

OH MY WORD!!! That is gorgeous!!!! Yes, I really think you need to get you a house up there! I will be sitting out there drinking some nice cocktails with ya!!:thumbsup2

[bertegirl]

Ok so where does one recommend we stay in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge? Really want to check out a cabin or anything with a nice deck/patio.

[ariel2007]

I didn't realise you and Chad met and worked at 6 Flags over Georgia. We plan to go there on our trip this year so I will have to bug you for information about everything there.

I really need to get one of those cool cocktail makers from Margaritaville, they are so cool. We haven't got one yet as it would be a job getting it back but if we lived over there that wouldn't be an issue. Oh look another reason to move over :laughing:

I know this sounds funny, but as many times as we have been there, I have never stayed in a cabin. I have had friends who did and love it! But, we stay in a hotel in downtown Gatlinburg. Once you come into downtown, there is a road that cuts to the left up a hill. We stay up there and its called brookside resort. We always get a fireplace deluxe room and it is so nice!!!! Plus, it has a private balcony that is right at the stream! Its so beautiful!

[bertegirl]

I'll have to check into it. I have heard there is a place that makes the best pancakes ever...do you know the name? Thanks! You are my Gatlinburg Guide!!

[Charleston Princess]

Hollie is just such a cutie!!! The Christmas photos all turned out just lovely! You are such a pretty family! :goodvibes

[OneTreeHillAddict]

[hlrababy]

I'll have to check into it. I have heard there is a place that makes the best pancakes ever...do you know the name? Thanks! You are my Gatlinburg Guide!!

I am wondering if its the Log Cabin pancake house. Its in downtown Gatlinburg. But....my favorite is the Red Rooster in Pigeon Forge. But, its like my hubby said....there is not one place up there that doesn't have good pancakes!!!!!! :rotfl2:

[hlrababy]

Hollie is just such a cutie!!! The Christmas photos all turned out just lovely! You are such a pretty family! :goodvibes

They are so, so cool aren't they. Nick's the same, thinks its not worth it, but then he drinks beer, what does he know :laughing:. Anyway I may not be on this weekend so don't think I have abandoned you. But if I am not have a great weekend. xxx

So can I get a Lapu Lapu at Ohana? Or where do they serve those...Ohana Character Breakfast by chance??? (ha,ha)

[hlrababy]

Okay, so here are a couple of our Christmas Pictures!! These were made in November with my family!!

Oh absolutely!!!! You must get one!!!!!!!! They serve them at O'hana, Kona, and also you can just go and sit at the Tambu Lounge and get one!! Soooo good!!

[bertegirl]

I am laughing so hard...just started reading your Attack of the 5 Lapu Lapu thread!!!

Love the photos! Such a cute family=)

:rotfl2: Yeah, you need to read it!! A lot of interesting stuff in that one I tell ya!!!:lmao:

[bertegirl]

I am so glad there is another out there....Now, a little background on me! I love baths...LOVE THEM! I could take about 5 a day if I could! So, the first thing I do once I took my cat nap.....you got it, a bath!!;)

My husband laughed at me last night because I was drinking wine and reading Disney Guide to Dining while in the bath. My daughter told me I use way too many bubbles and they are for her. Hmm?

Oh my gosh!!! that is too funny!!!! Yea!!!!!!!!!

Oh, that sounds like me! I could stay in a bath all day long!!!!! I just have to lock the door because Hollie thinks that she can just come and jump on it anytime she pleases! She loves baths too....she gets it honest!:lmao:

How is that book? I was thinking about getting it!

[bertegirl]

For me....great. We have never been, though. It tells you about each resort and park and all the food locations at each one. Plus it tells what kind of food they serve. Even has a section on lounges!!! Will be helpful when we want some quick service other than a burger. We could just mail it to you when we get back in May. (if you can wait that long) Won't need it again for a few years. We have to go home to Disneyland next year.

Awww, cool!! That should be a really big help for you! The one thing I wasn't looking forward too by going in february was that Peco's Bills was going to be closed!!! I have fallen in love with the chicken wrap from there!! Yummo!!!!!!!

OOoooo, now!! The lounge section would be my favorite!!!

[hlrababy]

I have now started a pin collection for Hollie! I will have to take some pictures and post them. But, when we were down there in November 2007 a very nice CM gave her the 2nd half of a tinkerbell pin. The same one that was given out in the Disney Mom's club packet sent out for the first ones who applied. Well, I bought her a Scrooge, Roger Rabbit, and Cinderella one. So, I am trying to get her a good collection before we go!

I love buying pins to add to Chelsea and Connor's collections (and mine, too). Have you discovered all the great Buy It Nows that are available over on ebay?

BTW, Roger Rabbit is one of our favorites -- we gave Connor a copy of the movie for Christmas.

[lazydoxy66]

I made it. Great start, as usual.

I love the Christmas pictures. You all look terrific!

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I saw those! They're so good. Your niece and Hollie have a lot of the same features! Don't you think? So what do you think about the Mountains? April 3rd...through the end of the week. There's 11 days we can play with there since the kids are out for a week then the weekends surround that. All we have to leave is $25 per family no matter how long we stay just to cover the gas/electric. Talk about a cheap vacation! We can buy our own food and cook at the house if ya'll want. (Sidney is the best cook ever but don't tell him I volunteered him!) :rotfl2:

[CanadianWDWfan]

The Christmas pics turned out so beautiful, you do have a pretty family. MIL looked beautiful too. The one with Hollie laying down with the book is too sweet. The group pic is my favorite. Your neice is adorable. ;)

I've never been to the mountains, it looks beautiful. I always drive right threw and we never stop. One day I will take my DMom because she has always wanted to go.
I've always been a beach girl. :beach:

I started a pin collection for Lexi, she got it for Xmas and I bought a valentines pin to give her for V-Day. It's so addictive. Be careful Ebay is a gold mine for pins of all kinds!
LOL

[lmillercrew]

Holy Crap!! I can't believe I didn't make it over here until page 5!!!
Sorry you had to cancel your Feb trip, but it's understandable. This just gives you more time to save and more time to plan.
Your pictures turned really nice. We need to get our family pics done. It's been a while, like three years. DS has grown 5 inches since then!!
So, you're going with DMIL again huh??? ;)

[xoktenox]

Good luck with Hollie's pin collection! Definitely try ebay to get some great deals but be careful because its very easy to end up buying wayyyy more of them than you originally planned :confused3 :laughing:

[jordanyosh]

Great xmas pix!!!!!!!!

Thanks girl!!!!
They really do!!! Its so funny how they favor each other!
I still need to talk to Chad about that! I know the money wouldn't be a problem since that is an awesome deal!!! I just know we will be turning around and going to Florida a couple of weeks after that!
Hmm, Sidney can teach Chad since that boy can't cook for his life!!!!!!!! I came home one night after we were first married and when I opened the door, he met me there and told me to wait a second. I looked up and smoke was billowing out of the door!!! I came inside and he had made me a grilled cheese. The pan was BLACK!!!!!! It had the imprint of the sandwich on it!! I had to throw it away!! The sandwich was really good once I scraped the black burntness off. I will tell you this, that was some majorly melted cheese!!!:rotfl2:

Thanks Jordan!!!:goodvibes

Awww good!! I am going there now!!

I think we are going February 9th through the 13th.

[hlrababy]

Well, I really can't do any updates right now until we know the dates for the MVMCP.

But.......I do know of things we would like to do!

I really wanted to do CRT but I know how booked it can get.

Here are some plans right now:

1900 Park Fare for dinner
O'hana or the luau one night
Chef Mickey's breakfast
Crystal Palace breakfast
O'hana breakfast
Maybe Coral Reef or San Angel Inn

That is about it for right now! I hope I can keep everyone! I might just start posting random pics!!:rotfl2:

[hlrababy]

Oh, almost forgot!!!

We have decided that we are definately going to leave on Monday after work. That way, hopefull, Hollie can sleep some on the way down. We are going to try and drive as far as we can and hopefully get somewhere close to Orlando.
We are just going to get a hotel we used to stay in when we did our Universal vacations. Then we are going to get up Tuesday morning and go to Universal since we get done with everything and we don't need a full day there. Then....check in to our Disney resort!!! Whooo hooooo!!!

[Charleston Princess]

Random pics are always good!!! :lmao:

Your tentative ADR plans look good! All of them sound yummy! Can you tell I am craving Disney food tonight!!! :rotfl:

If you get 'Ohana at the right time, then you can go out on the beach and watch the EWP and Wishes. It's a great place to watch from!

Have you read much about the luau? I thought about it, but I read a lot of posts that said younger kids would much like it or it was a little too long or it was too expensive for what you get. We'll probably get to it someday, but I think we'll wait until the girls are around the 8-10 year old mark.

All those breakfasts sound great. Excellent character interactions.

[lmillercrew]

Are you watching American Idol???? Tryouts??? :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Oh wow!! I didn't think about that! Hollie would love the EWP! I remember in 1994 when me, my mom, my grandmother, my aunt, and my little cousin went and we stayed at the Poly! I sat on the balcony every night watching that! It was so fun!

I have actually done the luau 7 times! I have done the older one before they changed it 6 times and then the newer one once. It was good but I miss the old one where they had a lot more dancing instead of the acting part going on. That was our main concern if we thought Hollie would watch it and sit still or not. It is expensive! I remember one at one time Chad and I ate there and it was only $30 bucks a person! We sat in the first tier this last time and it was I think, $57 a person. The food was really good though. I know that there is a lot of mixed reviews and I have read a lot of bad ones but we really enjoy it. We would like to take Hollie but not if she isn't going to sit still and enjoy it. One year Chad and I went and this family sat next to us. They ate the food and then got up and left before the show started!!! No way!! If I pay the money, I want to stay until it is over with!!

We love our breakfast!! lol!! I think that is really the only time I eat a good, nice breakfast besides Christmas day at my parents house! :rotfl2:

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Okay...WTH? I am so confused. Are you going to Disney sometime soon now? Our trip is on girl and I have to make a counter but PLEASE go when I go!!!! March 5th-12th! We need to talk....you need to get an annual pass. Why you don't have one yet I do not know. :worship: I'm going to email you.


....So funny about the black sandwich! :rotfl2: I can cook really good. I just don't want to. I will sometimes but I prefer not to. I need to go email you...

[Charleston Princess]

Well, unfortunately I don't like coffee. but, I could take the grey goose citron slushy while you get the coffee!!:thumbsup2

You'd be the expert then. I've read a lot of reviews as I have researched whether or not we should do it, and most of them say they'd choose Hoop-De-Doo over the luau with little kids. Most said the food was good, but pricey.

I would love to stay at the Poly someday! We're going to be in WDW next New Year's Eve, staying at All-Star Music again probably, but we're going to go to Poly to watch NYE fireworks. I checked into just getting a room for the one night so we could have the day there and then just walk to our room when it was over instead of fighting bus crowds, but the least room they have is $560. I couldn't pay $560 for one night, so I guess we'll be letting the little girls have late naps in preparation for a late night that night. It'll be worth it, because I watched the NYE fireworks on a guy's webcam from Poly, and they were incredible!

i contemplated starting a pre-TR for my december 2010 trip but i figured i'd run out of things to talk about in about, oh, march of this year! :lmao:

[disneygirlinnj]

oh wow..I'm gone for a few months and so much happens! I was so sad to hear you had to cancel your Feb trip...but excited that you're getting to go in Nov! :) Subscribing!

lol!! I know, it seems like its forever away doesn't it!!! But, we are going November 16th through the 22nd. I am really excited!!!!!
I think I need to talk Chad into buying AP's! If he was finished with school and was working it would be a done deal with getting them...

Yeah, I have to say that cheese was really melted..:rotfl: I used to love to cook and could cook good. Now, its just easy stuff since I work later and then get home and do things with Hollie. Maybe someday I can stay at home with her! :goodvibes

I can live with that plan! :rotfl:

Oh, I know I could!:lmao:

I have read the same about HDD being better for kids. Maybe we should try it instead and wait till Hollie is older for the luau!

that is my dream to stay at the Poly again! It was just so nice! I love it since I love all things tropically!! (Hmm, I think I made up a word!!) :lmao:

I know I will have to watch those next year! I bet they were gorgeous!

plans sound good!

i contemplated starting a pre-TR for my december 2010 trip but i figured i'd run out of things to talk about in about, oh, march of this year! :lmao:

But, once the MVMCP dates are released I know I can do plans then! So, until then...you guys will be entertained with other pictures tonight!:rotfl:

[bertegirl]

So what places do you recommend with little ones? We go into CRT. :surfweb:

[punkin413]

I have read the same about HDD being better for kids. Maybe we should try it instead and wait till Hollie is older for the luau!


i've never been to the luau but i LOVED HDD! it was fun for the kids because it's really interactive AND it's fun for the adults. there is a little bit of adult humor in there (but nothing that the kids would pick up on) and unlimited beer, wine and sangrias!!!! me and erica are about to start on our last day of our TR and that's what we did for dinner that night, so you will be reading about that whenever we get to it.

[hlrababy]

So what places do you recommend with little ones? We go into CRT. :surfweb:

I definately recommend Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's! Hollie loved both of those so much!!!! We will definately be visiting both of those in November. O'hana's breakfast is also a good one!

Hey girl!!!!!

I am getting ready to post my Gatlinburg pics from last year!

[bertegirl]

I can't wait to see them, too. Crystal Palace should be great. Hopefully we get in. We want to do Ohana, too! Thanks for the advice. We can't wait to just get away from this 40 below weather. May is not coming soon enough?

[hlrababy]

Okay, here are a couple of pics from our trip to Gatlinburg last February! I won't be posting a huge amount tonight because for some reason photobucket is really slow at night!

This was a beautiful sight driving through Pigeon Forge!

Oh brilliant, I can't wait to see them. I may have to wait till the morning to have a proper look though as I'm on my iPhone and the screen is pretty small! I think I pressed the wrong thing and unsubcribed from your thread too, eeek (that's me saying it as I can't work out how to put the smilies in, he he)

[punkin413]

So what places do you recommend with little ones? We go into CRT. :surfweb:

i know heather already recommended CP, CM and ohana's breakfast. but i also wanted to mention tusker house breakfast at AK. we did that last trip and it was really cute - they did a dance parade for the kids with donald. and the food was GOOD! the characters were donald, daisy, mickey and goofy.

I can't believe your already on your last day!!:eek:

it's already been four months since we got home! :lmao:

loved the mountain pictures - pretty!

[lmillercrew]

Those mountains are quite a sight!!! BEAUTIFUL! Was it cold when you were there in Feb?

[Charleston Princess]

Can you believe that I have lived here in NW Georgia for the past eleven years and have never made it up to Gatlinburg???

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I wrote the email & never sent it. Sending tonight!

[ariel2007]

The pictures are great. I finally got to see them properly and not in mini size like I was trying to last night :laughing:

[xoktenox]

Those pictures are so pretty! What exactly is there to do in Gaitlinburg? My BF, friends and I are looking for a place to go over the summer for a long weekend. Would you suggest Gaitlinburg?

I would recommend it, we loved it there :thumbsup2

[hlrababy]

I can't wait to see them, too. Crystal Palace should be great. Hopefully we get in. We want to do Ohana, too! Thanks for the advice. We can't wait to just get away from this 40 below weather. May is not coming soon enough?

I feel the same way!!! It seems like November will drag getting here. But, we will be in Gatlinburg soon, then we are going to PCB with my parents in April, then we are at our lake house every other weekend through the summer, so hopefully it will get here fast!

Did you figure out how to work out your iphone???:rotfl2: :lmao:

Hmm, maybe it felt that way because you just got back with Ray and your friends!!:rotfl2:

Thanks! I have more coming up!

It was!! We love going up there when its cold!

WHAT!!!! Oh my word, well you have to go then!!!!!:thumbsup2

lol!!! I got it!

Yeah!!! You can see them regular now!!!:rotfl2:

There is a lot to do! I will pm you with a website! I think you would all have a great time!!

I would recommend it, we loved it there :thumbsup2
Amen sista!

[hlrababy]

Okay, so these pictures were made while we were driving up Nature Trail road. Just don't look at the dates on them! We visited the wax museum 2 days since his parents arrived late the first night we got there!

This is a little cabin we like to stop and look at everytime we go!

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b359/hlrababy/gatlinburg/955086785306_0_ALB.jpg

Okay so after that we drove up the nature trail road! Well, funny story! I put my window down to take some pictures. Now, mind you there was snow and it was freezing!!! I pushed the button to roll it up and it wouldnt' budge!!!! The window had come off of the roller upper (I am not a mechanic, so I don't know the words!:rotfl2: )
The only thing we could think to do was drive to a car place to see if they could fix it. We had to drive to Sevierville and the first place we stopped, recommended the one we finally went to! Now, this was how I had to ride down the road!!

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b359/hlrababy/gatlinburg/346086785306_0_ALB.jpg

The sweet man who came and looked at my car, said that it was just stuck.
So, he tried to push the button to roll it up and it wouldn't budge. So, he grabbed some pliers and pulled it up and taped it really good until we could get it home to get if fixed!! It has some bright lime green tape!!!!:rotfl2:

i used to have a honda civic that did this ALL THE TIME. ray would have to take the inside paneling off the door and fix it. he said it was coming off track. i eventually sold that car to my little brother and when it did it to him, he was too lazy to fix it and so he rode around with either the window down all the time or with a garbage bag covering it. :lmao:

[lmillercrew]

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: Rolly uppie thingy!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Isn't that what it's called???:confused3

:rotfl: :rotfl: That is SOOO funny!! We had a car window taped for a while, a couple of years ago, because we thought it was going to cost SO much. Finally found out that it cost $150! That's it? I drove around for 5 mos with plastic on my window for $150?? Too funny about your brother. It probably didn't even phase him.

[ariel2007]

The phone is great to have as an extra tool, and its nice to have the internet anytime, but its no substitution for a laptop.

I love your pictures again, the snow looks so beautiful. So was the wax musuem in Gatlinburg then?

[CanadianWDWfan]

Hi, what's up? :wave2:

Those mountains are beautiful. I love the pics of you in the snow. It's so funny you consider snow a neat/cool thing. I'm soo ready for it to melt away. We had black ice several days this week and in one 2hr span we had about 200 accidents. We had 4 men rushed to the hospital in one morning this winter for heart attacks (from over exhurtion from shoveling mass amout of snow). Very pretty to look at but after Xmas it can go and I'd be fine with it. :rotfl2:

I will admit I missed it when I lived down south, but I didn't miss driving in it. :rotfl:

We will have lots to talk about until November, we always do. :lmao:

Have you bought anything on Ebay lately?
I got Lexi an autograph book for our trip. I'm so excitted I found the other Build a bear princess dresses she was missing. (Jasmine, Belle and Mulan) She already has Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Snow White, Tinkerbell. I even got her the Mickey ears and tee. They only sell them in DTD in California, so they are hard to find. She wants to dress a bear in a different dress each day we are there, very cute idea since she is too old/big to wear the princess costumes herself.

I've changed her bday theme again. :laughing:
It went from Chinese/Mulan to Build a Bear. The only problem was I could only get the party stuff from one company online and the shipping is crazy to Canada. Then I would have to pay duty taxes ontop. Too much $$$.
I was shopping this week and came across Mickey & Friends party stuff. So it's now a Disney bday! She will love it. I'll dress her BABs in the princess dresses and put party hats on them. I went on Ebay and they have tons of stuff to decorate with. They even have a bday Mickey plush that sings. Her bday is April 7th so I have lots of time to order stuff. Come to think of it I should have stuck with BAB, I'll probably spend more money with this theme...:rotfl2:

[xoktenox]

Hey Heather! Thanks soooo much for the Gaitlinburg info. I'm going to go take a look at it now, I just wanted to see the pictures you posted. The mountains look so beautiful and I love the pictures you guys took. Thats too funny about the window too! Lucky that you found some place to tape it up all pretty in green tape for you :rotfl2:

[punkin413]

:rotfl: :rotfl: That is SOOO funny!! We had a car window taped for a while, a couple of years ago, because we thought it was going to cost SO much. Finally found out that it cost $150! That's it? I drove around for 5 mos with plastic on my window for $150?? Too funny about your brother. It probably didn't even phase him.

yeah, he didn't care. especially because he wrapped it around a telephone pole about a month later! i was so sad - i loved that little car! when i sold it to him it had 180,000 miles on it and was still going strong. oh, and don't worry - my brother was okay. :rotfl:

[MeMom]

The Gatlinburg pictures are beautiful. It's a great place for shopping and pancake eating!

Window roller upper thingie...that's exactly what I would have called it. Can't imagine what name would suit it better!

[Cinderelly5507]

We live in West TN and have thought about a trip to Pigeon Forge/Gaitlinburg... Your pics look gorgeous though! I might have to finally go! :rotfl:

[tinkgurl]

I love the pics from TN. I went there with B/F back in 2005 and stayed in a beautiful cabin up in the mountains.

Lime green tape for the window?! He must've known you were a DIS'er! :rotfl:

[bertegirl]

Wow good thing you were not here in the frozen land...It is a whooping 10 degrees today and it feels like a heat wave! I would have loved to see the Lime Green tape. :drive:

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Your snow pics are really really good! I wonder if there's snow up there right now? I'd love to take the kids to see snow and they're out of school Monday. OMG I bet you were FREEZING! It's so cold outside right now my fountain is frozen solid and the mud puddles are frozen in the roads. Yikes. Me not luvin' this at all!

[xoktenox]

Thank you soooo much again for that Gatlinburg info! It looks so beautiful and I will most definitely have to go there at one point or another but it doesn't look like it will be this summer. Unfortunately the main criteria for our summer trip is that we can drive there and Gatlinburg is too far to drive for us :guilty: I was all excited too and I showed my BF and everything and finally he was like "babe you know we can't drive here though, right?" Very upsetting :sad2:

[lazydoxy66]

Great mountain shots! My SIL has never been to Gatlinburg. DH and I went a couple of years ago. I enjoyed it very much. I see a trip in the near future with my bro and her.

I can't believe you had to drive around with the window down. I'm glad you didn't get sick. Why can't stuff break when it is a gorgeous, 75 deg. day? :rolleyes:

[hlrababy]

Oh my gosh!!! That sounds like Chad!!:lmao: I remember when we dated in 94 and someone broke out his passenger side window of his mustang and stole his radio. Well, he was lazy with getting it fixed so guess who had to ride on that side with a garbage bag over it??? ME!!!

:rotfl2: Rolly uppie thingy!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Isn't that what it's called???:confused3

It sure is!!!!!;)

That is the truth!!!

Aww, thanks! I am about to post the wax museum pics now!

Pack that snow up and send it here!! That is terrible about all the accidents though.

Yes I keep buying Hollie some pins. I found some cute chip and dale with the tie dyed cheesecake and the dole whip! They are so cute!!!

Ooh, cool!! That sounds like an awesome birthday party!! I have actually decided today what Hollie's will be this year. She told me Tinkerbell. We were listening to the Selena Gomez song from the Tinkerbell movie, "Fly to your heart" She knows the words to it and loves to sing it at the top of her lungs. Speaking of that movie, we have watched it a total of 5 times this weekend. Does anyone else get teary eyed at the end of the movie? I cry like a baby!!!!! I just love that movie!!!

We love our pancake houses up there! Our favorite is the red rooster! Yummy!!!!!

I can't imagine a better name either!:thumbsup2

Awww, you should!! We love Gatlinburg!!!!

They really must have!!!!:rotfl2:

Wow good thing you were not here in the frozen land...It is a whooping 10 degrees today and it feels like a heat wave! I would have loved to see the Lime Green tape. :drive:

I know! I don't know what I would have done had it still been snowing!!!
I think I took a picture of the green tape! I will have to look for it!;)



Your snow pics are really really good! I wonder if there's snow up there right now? I'd love to take the kids to see snow and they're out of school Monday. OMG I bet you were FREEZING! It's so cold outside right now my fountain is frozen solid and the mud puddles are frozen in the roads. Yikes. Me not luvin' this at all!

I think it is!!! I hope it does when we go up there! If it isn't, were gonna take a ride up to Ober Gatlinburg, the cute little ski resort and let Hollie see it!!
I was like an icicle!!!! I was soooooooo cold!!!

Thank you soooo much again for that Gatlinburg info! It looks so beautiful and I will most definitely have to go there at one point or another but it doesn't look like it will be this summer.

Thanks!!!!! I was so cold!!!! I was shaking like a leaf while we were driving down the road!!!!!! Of course, with the heat on full blast!!!:rotfl:

[hlrababy]

Okay, now if you visit Gatlinburg, you have to take a visit to Cooter's of the Smokies!!

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b359/hlrababy/gatlinburg/452826885306_0_ALB.jpg

Now, a little background on this! I loved the Dukes of Hazzard when I was a little girl!! I had a huge crush on Bo Duke (John Schneider). Well, a couple of years ago Chad and I went to the races in Atlanta. As we were walking around, I saw a car and who I thought was John Schneider standing next to a car. So, upon further inspection we walk up and it was him! Well, this lady standing next to me (who was very professional looking) asked me if I would like to help them with a Dukefest Commercial they were doing. Of course I said yes!! So, as John was teaching someone to slide across the car like he did in the show, I had to walk beside him with a microphone. They actually sent me a copy of the commercial on DVD. Its really funny when you watch it actually. So, with me loving John, I had to get this picture!

Next we went to the wax museum! Now, I have a ton of pictures from them. Nevermind the date on them. We actually visited the place twice. Once the first night we got there and then the next day with Chad's mom and stepdad.

Ha Ha! I love them all! I love how ya'll posed according to who it was. Hilarious :rotfl:

That's so cool that you got to meet him and do that commercial. :thumbsup2

[hlrababy]

I have definately decided, along with Hollie, that she is going to go to the Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique again. When we go on our trip in October, I might take Hollie and our niece Hattie to get there hair done. My plan is for us to go to MNSSHP and then we will get there hair done before we go so they can wear their costumes. Then when we go in November, Hollie will get her hair done before the MVMCP. She actually said she wanted me to get mine done with her. Which, I don't have a problem with it. I could just get the disney princess hairstyle (if my hair is longer) and I will already have my makeup done. I might even just tell them to "add" a little of the makeup to mine! :rotfl2:

Ha Ha! I love them all! I love how ya'll posed according to who it was. Hilarious :rotfl:

That's so cool that you got to meet him and do that commercial. :thumbsup2

That wax museum is really cool!! I remember when I was little, they used to have on in Orlando, but you couldn't get up to them and take pictures like you can now!

It was really neat! I will have to post some pictures of it! My Bo Duke moment!!:rotfl2:

Loving the bunny ears! I totally needed a good laugh tonight! Everyone always asks us if we named our son after the Austin Powers movie? :badpc:

[punkin413]

i think my favorite is forrest gump. i love that movie!

i would've had nightmares about the linda blair exorcist one!

tobey mcquire as spiderman looks like he's drunk. :rotfl2:

oh, and i have to say the LOTR figures look horrible! the others are pretty good but gandalf and frodo look nothing like themselves. and is that supposed to be aragorn? oh, how they failed to show the hotness! :rotfl: of course i prefer him all dirty rather than cleaned up as king.

[Charleston Princess]

Oh, my sides hurt from laughing so hard at you and Chad at the wax museum!!! Your poses are great!!! :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

That was my favorite too along with the Wizard of Oz!!! It was funny because as soon as we done there we went and ate at Bubba Gump's!

It was so freaky!! I didn't get my picture with linda blair until the 2nd day. I just looked at Chad and I kept saying, I don't want to go up there! What if she spits pea soup at me!!! lol!!!

The LOTR's character were horrible! I was very disappointed in them and was really looking forward to them. Of course, if they really looked like them I would have tried to steal them!!:rotfl2:

How is your arm? I was posting on yours as you were posting on mine! :rotfl:

[hlrababy]

Oh, my sides hurt from laughing so hard at you and Chad at the wax museum!!! Your poses are great!!! :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

:rotfl2: We like to take pictures, can you tell???? :rotfl2:

You should have seen me with the Jason character. It took Chad forever to get me in the horror room!! I felt like he kept looking at me!!

[Charleston Princess]

:rotfl2: We like to take pictures, can you tell???? :rotfl2:

I was just thinking while I was looking through your pictures how I could not be in the same room with some of those horror film characters. :lmao:

[hlrababy]

I was just thinking while I was looking through your pictures how I could not be in the same room with some of those horror film characters. :lmao:

I was looking over my shoulders constantly in that room!!!:rotfl2:

The funny part was the texas chainsaw guy! When you got close, his chainsaw went off!!!!

I can just see it now -- I would have started screaming and Charles would have laughed and laughed. :rotfl: One time, when I first moved to Georgia, he took me to 99X's haunted house (I can't remember what they call it -- it was probably 1995 or 1996). I was so scared in there, that by the end of it, I was crawling for the exit.

Oh my gosh!!! Me Too!!!!!! Me and one of my best friends (they are twins! lol) we went to the 99x haunted house in 94 BY OURSELVES!!!! We were so freaked out by the time we left there!!!

You were brave girls!!! I can promise you I never made that mistake again! :rotfl:

[Disneyfan71]

I'm on board now. Your PRT is very fun reading so far.

I love the pictures of the Wax Museum. DW and I went to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge on our honeymoon and had a good time. I had been before, but it had been a VERY long time. We were going to go through the Ripley's Haunted House but it was $20.00...however we DID go to Dollywood!!!

Can't wait to read more--and hope you have a good time at Disney

[akayek31]

ok now you have made me want to take a weekend trip to Gatlinburg. Bad Heather :rotfl2: :lmao:

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Just checked out all the new pics! I see you're totally hot for the Dale Jr picture! :rotfl2: You know some of those freak me out a little but my fave is the Tom Hanks. It really looks like him. I haven't been to a wax museum in years. I love the way ya'll posed with them. So you gonna join us or what?

[Blueyed Girl]

I'm here!!! I just saw your other ptr. I'm bummed we won't get to meet you guys! Glad you have another trip planned, though. Ok, going back to read now...........

[kaysmommie]

Heather, I have been missing from the DIS lately since our DSL was down all last week. I clicked on your pre trip report to find out the news. So sorry :sad2: you had to cancel. but hey at least you already have another trip planned for November. Also Gatlinburg will be so fun for you all and Hollie will love the snow too. We have flurries here right now in Knoxville but I'm sure it won't be nuch at all :sad1:. Also I think you will like staying at Pop alot, it's a fun place and very clean too. Love the wax museum pics :lmao:.

[xoktenox]

Loveee those wax museum pictures! They're so cool and you guys posed with all of them, how cute!

I love that theres like 4 or 5 of you guys with Austin Powers. Austin Powers Goldmember (the 3rd one) is a movie I have seen a good 100 times or more, no exaggeration. I've seen it so many times I can recite the words to the movie, and the deleted scenes that are extras on the dvd :laughing:

I think my favorite though is Hugh Hefner with the bunny ears. He's just so old! :rotfl2:

[ariel2007]

I love your pictures, they are great. I love the Hugh Hefner one, he is especially life-like. We have a place in London a bit like that, you may have heard of it, its world famous. Its called Madame Tussuards, its a major tourist place, and so expensive, about £25 each. You are literally in there an hour, its fun, but not worth the money. Would you recommend going to this one?

Oh and what exactly is Cooters?

[Spartangirl]

Growing up, I LOVED the DOH too...that's so cool that you were asked to help out with the commercial....how fun!

Your wax museum pics are hilarious!!! :lmao: DH and I have very similar pics from when we visited a wax museum in Vegas......

[hlrababy]

Aww, thanks!! You guys should head back there! We love Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg! Its so nice up there!!!
That is one thing we haven't done, the Ripleys haunted house! DH wish I would, but I am a scaredy cat!!!:rotfl2:

ok now you have made me want to take a weekend trip to Gatlinburg. Bad Heather :rotfl2: :lmao:
NO, NO, NO!!!!!:rotfl:

I love me some Dale Jr!!!! :lmao:

I could have sat by the Tom Hanks one all day! It was just so cute!!!
I am trying to talk Chad into it!! :thumbsup2

I'm here!!! I just saw your other ptr. I'm bummed we won't get to meet you guys! Glad you have another trip planned, though. Ok, going back to read now...........

I am really bummed too! I will have to just live through your trip when you get back!:sad2:

I know, I am a little sad, but excited about all the other trips!

We are so excited and ready to take Hollie up to Ober Gatlinburg. As many times as we have been to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, we have never been up there!
We had some flurries earlier, but it has stopped!:sad2:
We are really excited about Pop!! It just looks so cute!

The Austin Powers was soooo funny! They had his music playing and you couldn't help but start laughing!

I know, I would really like to meet the real Hugh Hefner, I just dont' get it with him and his many girlfriends!:rotfl2:

Thanks girl!!!!! I have heard of that and I have always wanted to visit one of her places!! Everything just looks so good!!!
I would definately recommend this one we went too. It was a little expensive, I think it was $21.95, but it was cute!

Cooter's is a museum type place for the Dukes of Hazzard tv show. The guy who played Cooter in the series owns the place. He usually shows up and does autographs and stuff. Its a really neat place if you liked the show. They have several cars and other things from the show.

Growing up, I LOVED the DOH too...that's so cool that you were asked to help out with the commercial....how fun!

Awww, cool!!!!! I will have to post the picture from it. It was so fun!!
Aww, I would love to see your pics from the Vegas one!

[OneTreeHillAddict]

So you got lucky tonight and gotcha some PAUL! :cool1:

[hlrababy]

Okay, here are some of the pictures from the commercial for DukeFest I was in. It was really fun!! They actually sent me a copy of it and I am going to figure out a way to upload it so I can put it on here. It wasn't shown on regular tv, only at racetracks during the Nascar season. But still, it was fun! When I first saw him, I looked at Chad and said, "Its B-freaking-Duke" Of course being the smallville fan that he is, Chad thought the same but then added, "Its Jonathan Kent!" lol!! I know, we are geeks!!

Yep! A good bit of Paul. Sexy pics of Bo Duke there. I hope ya can figure out the commercial thing. I wanna see it.

[CanadianWDWfan]

How fun are those pics at the wax museum!! :rotfl2:

I watched Taladagga Nights (sp?) this weekend so I got an extra laugh at that one. :laughing:

You are so good at capturing the poses with the figures. Very entertaining. You must have a good time looking back at them. :)

Wow, you met a t.v. legend and got to be in a commercial too. Of course he picked you, I'm sure you were the prettiest one there.

A Tinkerbell bday sounds fantastic. I couldn't think of a better theme. :tink:

You will have to take lots of pics of your hair dos after you go to BBB. princess:

[Disneyfan71]

That's so awesome about the commercial..and being able to meet the man, the myth, the legend :) I grew up watching Dukes Of Hazzard too

[tinkgurl]

How cool is that?! Thanks for sharing! And I hope you figure out how to upload the commercial because I want to see it! And duh he picked you- who wouldn't?! :goodvibes

[xoktenox]

Love the Jonathan Kent pics, so cool that you got picked!! :thumbsup2

Thanks for the information. I don't think we ever had Duke's of Hazzard over here but I did see the film with Jessica Simpson a while back :lmao:. You will have to fill me in on Ober Gatlinburg and take lots of pictures. We planned to go there last time but didn't have time so are going to this year but would love to know everything there is to do there.

Maybe you and I should gatecrash one of Hef's parties one day so we could meet him. Maybe not the Midsummer Nights one though unless you want to go in your underwear :confused3

We like to pose in our pictures!!:rotfl2:

I am trying to upload the commercial right now! I hope it works!

I am hoping that Chad will dress at Peter Pan! :rotfl2: But, Hollie told him she wants him to be Capt. Hook!

That's so awesome about the commercial..and being able to meet the man, the myth, the legend :) I grew up watching Dukes Of Hazzard too

Awww, he was so nice!!!! Just really nice!

How cool is that?! Thanks for sharing! And I hope you figure out how to upload the commercial because I want to see it! And duh he picked you- who wouldn't?! :goodvibes


I am trying it right now!! I hope it works!

Awwww, that is so sweet of you! But, I am sure its only because I was standing right beside the lady!:rotfl:

Love the Jonathan Kent pics, so cool that you got picked!! :thumbsup2

It was a really good show!!! The movie was cute because I like Sean William Scott and Johnny Knoxville!
I will take lots of pictures of Ober! I have never been there so I am really excited!

Oooooh, we really should!! Maybe for one of the parties there! We are women so they have to let us in, right!!
Hmmmm, I could probably find something that covers pretty good. Oh, after I put something underneath to suck everything in and push things out!!:rotfl2:

How did you like Hard Rock Cafe? We went to that one in Gatlinburg..and I've been to the one in New York, Myrtle Beach, Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale :) Gatlinburg is so neat too.

I can't wait to see more pictures

[coteau_chick]

I just found you here. I don't know why it took me so long. I need to go back and read up now.

Awww, thank you and I am glad your here! We liked it!! I love any Hard Rock cafe! I have been to the one in Atlanta, Orlando, Gatlinburg, Nashville and New Orleans. I collect the hurricane glasses from them! I want to go to the Myrtle Beach one! Is it really cool?

Yes it's pretty awesome..it's a Pyramid. When you walk in, you step down and it's really cool!!! You need to get there about 20 minutes or so before they open or go later in the afternoon!!

[xoktenox]

Awwww those pictures are all so cute!! I love Hollie's makeup artist skills...shes a natural :rotfl2: And Chad even got in on the fun!

[tinkgurl]

Wow, Hollie has a future in being a make-up artist! :rotfl2:

[bertegirl]

I love it....she is so talented. Jenny covered herself with markers when she was 3. Thank goodness they were washable. DH was suppose to be watching her, but football was on.

He was there donating one of his jackets and some other stuff...I soooo wanted to get his autograph and so glad I did :)

So..are you getting excited about your trip? I finalized my ADR's today!! Be sure to check out my PTR too!!

[lmillercrew]

MMMMM..... Bo Duke!!!! Hot Stuff!!!!!!! Love Hollie's makeup style and it's good to know that Chad doesn't look good in drag! :rotfl:

MMMMM..... Bo Duke!!!! Hot Stuff!!!!!!! Love Hollie's makeup style and it's good to know that Chad doesn't look good in drag! :rotfl:

I know, right!! I am still trying to figure out how to burn the commercial to my laptop! I don't think I have the burn thingy in mine. So, I might have to go downstairs and do it on our regular computer. Geez...I have such good language!:lmao:
It really is! I dressed him as a girl in 97 and he looked just like his mom!! :stir:

[Disneyfan71]

It's been there :) I need to make it a different color so it will stand out :) I love reading PTR's and TR's too, especially with LOTS of pictures.

That's awesome! My BIL is a singer with Shane Bridges and his band. He's friends with Ronny Milsap's nephew(I think its his nephew). Long story short, Ronny got a pair of alligator or crocodile boots as a gift and didn't want them so his nephew gave them to Nick. Very cool and flashy boots that were custom made for Ronny. Isn't that so cool? And Ronny listened to Nick's CD and loved it. I really think Nick will hit it big someday. He's a mix between the look of the Jonas Brothers (He's only 20) but add in some country and rock and roll. He sounds like Dierks Bentley and Keith Urban but more bluesy. Shane has had some songs played on the hills and other MTV shows.

Oh wow..that is awesome. That night he was there I was like, "I'm going to get his autograph." It's amazing how him being completely blind and can sign his name like that!!! But just being in his presence was enough for me!! As a kid I used to listen to his music.

[lazydoxy66]

Wax museums always give me the creeps. We didn't go to the one in Gatlinburg. We did go to one in the Wisconsin Dells area. It's funny how some of the figures are dead-on while others are way off. Probably different artists.

We did the Haunted House. It wasn't that bad. There is one room that is totally dark. You have to find your way out of it. So buy the cheap little light before you go in.

I love the shots of Hollie with the big puckery lips. Do you imitate her, or vice versa?

My DH would be so jealous of your meeting with John S. He loves that show and watches reruns when he finds them.

Me too!!! My parents have a 72 juke box and there are all kinds of good music in it! It's funny, I am 32 and I love older type music. I always have! The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, etc. My fav Ronnie song was "Stranger in my house". Love it!!

Me too!! It was creepy getting up to them to take a picture. I just always imagine them lunging for me and getting me!! I don't know what I would do if someone was in there acting like one and they did that! I would pass out!!!!

So, it wasn't that bad? I just don't like them touching me. I totally get freaked when I can feel them breathing on me! :sad2:

I think its a mixture of us imitating the other!!:rotfl2:

Awww, they used to show them on CMT for the longest time. We were sad when they took it off. He was such a nice man!!!!!! Funny story, I am all about smells. Its some weird thing with me. I watch movies and I will look at Chad and tell him what I think people in movies or on tv smell like. Well, when John was first introduced to me, he shook my hand and hugged me and I totally took a whiff!!! It was so funny!!! He smelled good though.....:rotfl2:

[Disneyfan71]

Guess what..sorry about being off topic..but we scored reservations at San Angel Inn on our last night :) I was very happy..BUT no cancellations for dinner at Le Cellier :(

[hlrababy]

Okay folks, I talked to my sis-in-law the other night! She has booked our trip for October!!!!! WHOOO HOOOOO!!:cool1:

So, its going to be SIL, dr boyfriend, my 2 nieces, maybe his 3 kids if they aren't with their mom, younger BIL, younger SIL and her hubby, and possibly FIL and S-MIL! Oh, and we can't forget the Nanny! Yes....I said it right. They are taking the Nanny because younger niece won't go to Halloween Horror Nights. So, they are bringing their nanny to play with Hattie and Hollie. We are staying at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal. Now, nothing against the nanny, but we only leave Hollie with my parents. So, I don't necessarily know if we will let Hollie stay with her. But, with Hattie staying with her I know Hollie would in a heartbeat. She LOVES her cousin!!! But, we will see!

Oh, oh, oh!! the good thing about it..........WE ARE ALL GOING TO MICKEY'S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY!!! :cool1: pixiedust: :cheer2:

[hlrababy]

Aww cool!!!! We really like San Angel Inn. I mean, the menu had changed since the last time we were there (it was 2002) but we still liked it! The fiesta margarita is soooooooooo good in there!!! The funny thing was me and MIL were going to share some chicken nachos....but they didn't have any on the menu. So, we all got the empanada and it was good though! I have a picture on my trip report, but I will go and post it for you!

[ariel2007]

Sounds like you are going to have a great time. And I am so jealous you get to go to MNSSHP, I wanna go :rolleyes:. When you say FIL and S-MIL is that different to the ones you went to Disney with? Have you stayed at Hard Rock Hotel before? We are staying st Royal Pacific but we like the look of Hard Rock too :confused3

Girl, That is so exciting. I know what you mean about leaving Hollie with someone other than your parents. I'm the same way. I'm soooo jealous that you get to go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. That's my goal. And little does my family know (if I ever do get to go), I will be dressing up. Whether it embarasses them or not. :rotfl:

[hlrababy]

Oh yeah, its the different ones from Disney last year. It's Chads real dad and his wife, Chad's stepmom. I am really excited!! We have never been to MNSSHP before!!! We have never stayed at Hard Rock Hotel so I am really excited!!!!

I have always wanted to stay at the Royal Pacific. You have stayed there before, right?

First of all... HOLY CRAP on whose going! That's a lot of famdamnly time!! And, a NANNY??? Wow!
Secondly, you're not staying at Disney? How many days are you going to be gone and what are your plans for Disney? I've forgotten. :confused3

I know, right!! That is a crowd!!!! Plus, the dr. boyfriend's business partner and his wife and son are going as well. So, there should be around 16 of us, and that doesn't include dr's kids if they are at home!
Chad's sis decided that every year in October she wanted to do something all together. See, long story short, we just had them come into our lives 4 years ago. So, we all like to get together as much as possible. It will definately be like the clampetts when we all get together!!:rotfl2:
Amy (older sis) and our 2 nieces are actually coming into town next weekend for a concert. So, Hattie (10 year old niece) is actually going to hang out with Chad and Hollie while I go to the concert with Amy and Lex. Then Saturday we are going to the Ga. Aquariuma.

Our dates are Thursday, October 15th through Monday, October 19th. The only thing Disney for that trip is going to be MNSSHP! But, I am excited about it!!
I still haven't made too many ideas and plans about our November trip. I just have some ideas about ADR's, but it depends on the dates of MVMCP.

Girl, That is so exciting. I know what you mean about leaving Hollie with someone other than your parents. I'm the same way.

Whether it embarasses them or not. :rotfl:

I just worry about things happening, ya know! When she is with my parents I don't worry for nothing!!!!!
I am so excited about MNSSHP! We have never been!! We plan on getting Hollie and Hattie an appoinment at BBB to get there hair and makeup done!
I want to dress up!!!!! I am thinking maybe Wendy and Chad can wear some tights and be Peter Pan, while Hollie is Tinkerbell!!:rotfl2:

[Disneyfan71]

Glad you're going in October--we had originally planned to go in late September, got changed to January of this year...then moved to June of this year and NOW April, which we aren't changing.

But congrats on going in October :)

[lazydoxy66]

Your plans sound awesome!!
:rotfl2: I laughed so hard when you talked about sniffing John S. OMG, you are crazy! So did he smell like what you thought he would?

[ariel2007]

Oh yeah, its the different ones from Disney last year. It's Chads real dad and his wife, Chad's stepmom. I am really excited!! We have never been to MNSSHP before!!! We have never stayed at Hard Rock Hotel so I am really excited!!!!

I have always wanted to stay at the Royal Pacific. You have stayed there before, right?

Yes we have, last year. It is a beautiful resort, quite quiet and tropical. And we had a great room with a view over the pool and IOA. We thought we would stay there again as we know we really like it, plus our favorite restaurant is there, Tchoup Chop. We are so excited to eat there again :cheer2:

[mansionterror]

I was looking over my shoulders constantly in that room!!!:rotfl2:

The funny part was the texas chainsaw guy! When you got close, his chainsaw went off!!!!


I had to join in on this pre-trip report. We live about 1 hour from Gatlinburg and we went to the Wax Museum in October. We posed with alot of the figures as well but it took alot of coaxing to get DS to pose in the Horror room, especially after hearing that chainsaw. I had to explain to him that it was fake and show him how to pose. I love all your pictures from the museum, looking forward to more.

[Villainess]

Glad to hear I am not the only one who is freaked out by wax figures!

WOW! That is quite a group going! I'm careful with who I leave DD and DS with as well. Do you know the nanny? Maybe you could meet her before the trip and get a better idea of her capabilities. It may help you with your decision to leave DD.

I went to Halloween Horror Nights, and I was completely and utterly petrified of it! People walking behind me and turning on a chainsaw is not fun for me!

[jewels1916]

Just caught up on yout PTR! Congrats on getting everything squared away in October! I was there in September this year when all the Halloween decorations were up and it was amazing!! Subbing! :upsidedow

WE ARE ALL GOING TO MICKEY'S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY!!!

Yay! I've never been during that time, but I'm sure it will be so much fun. Are you going to dress up?

[lmillercrew]

That's nice that the "new" sis wants to get together. That's how you build relationships. I forgot that you guys were going to WDW in Nov. I thought it was Oct. Anyway, I can't keep track.
Oh, and the Clampetts made me laugh!

Glad you're going in October--we had originally planned to go in late September, got changed to January of this year...then moved to June of this year and NOW April, which we aren't changing.

Your plans sound awesome!!
:rotfl2: I laughed so hard when you talked about sniffing John S. OMG, you are crazy! So did he smell like what you thought he would?

I totally sniffed him!!!!!:rotfl2: Um, yes and no. I figured he would have that windblown, gas smell, ya kno! Like the fumes from his car! :lmao:

They do freak me out!! I just feel like they could move or something!

It really is!!!! I think that once we meet her we will feel differently.

Oh, HHN really scares me!!! I can't stand it when I can feel them breathing on my neck!! I walk through the haunted houses with my head pulled down close to my shoulders! Boy, is that a funny sight!!:rotfl2:

Just caught up on yout PTR! Congrats on getting everything squared away in October! I was there in September this year when all the Halloween decorations were up and it was amazing!! Subbing! :upsidedow

Yay! I've never been during that time, but I'm sure it will be so much fun. Are you going to dress up?

We are excited!!

It is a whole lot of us!! I am really excited about the Hard Rock hotel! I have never stayed there so I will take tons of pictures to share!

I think we are going to dress up! We all want to do something themed!

That's nice that the "new" sis wants to get together. That's how you build relationships. I forgot that you guys were going to WDW in Nov. I thought it was Oct. Anyway, I can't keep track.
Oh, and the Clampetts made me laugh!
It really is! We love them all so much and its so nice to be able to spend some time with them since they live in Florida!

Well....we are like the Clampetts once you get us all together! You should have seen us at SIL's wedding! We ate at a Vietnamese restaurant:rotfl2:
My niece had her chopsticks up her nose like a walrus along with Chad's younger brother! Then our niece was like, "Yu wan some golden retriva fri rice?" I was about to pass out!!

[hlrababy]

Here is a picture of me and Chad that I scanned tonight! This was taken at Universal in 2001!

[bertegirl]

So I just had to tell someone. We are upgrading from POFQ to AKL. The zero pool sold me! Plus I want to try BOMA. I love the photo...My hubbie would not pose with me. He would just stand there and laugh!!!:rotfl2:

We were laughing th entire time we took that pic!!:rotfl2:

[bertegirl]

I will take lots of photos. I bought a journal at Staples today along with other planning items. So I can write down everything about our trip. Jason just looked at me and said you are not going to take photos of the food are you and I said of course. He is no longer talking to me. :lmao:

[ariel2007]

That picture is so funny, you look so cool.

Tchoup Chop is great. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a big pond down the middle with china lilypads on, and then roll back seats to the tables. Its Asian-pacific in style and the cuisine, which is so good. We've been a few times and the food is so good, and service great. I can't wait to go back :thumbsup2

Between you and Dawn, I have laughed an awful lot tonight! That picture is hilarious!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl: :lmao:

Heather..I'd love to go in October but we just can't :( We upgraded from Pop to CBR :) I can't wait to get there...we're less than 10 weeks now.

[lmillercrew]

That picture is great! I didn't even recognize you!!!! Shena!:rotfl2:
Oh, and the restaurant thing? I TOTALLY thought of "fah rah rah rah rah, rah rah rah rah". (A Christmas Story) :rotfl: :rotfl: Sorry, you just made me laugh.

Here is a picture of me and Chad that I scanned tonight! This was taken at Universal in 2001!

LOVE it! You guys are so funny. I have some of these from the Mountains somewhere. :lmao: We did one of those lip sync videos years ago too. It was hilarious. I finally started my pre trip reports. I hope you will join me for those too. Are you really coming to the game??? Tix should go on sale pretty soon. Here's my link...

[MeMom]

Me too! Now we can go to MNSSHP!!!!



That's something fun to look forward to!!! :cool1:


So I just had to tell someone. We are upgrading from POFQ to AKL. The zero pool sold me! Plus I want to try BOMA.

You'll love that pool. There's a big area of chairs surrounded by beautiful greenery right there at the zero entry point - a wonderful place to sit and watch the kids play.

I'm still trying to talk my bunch into going to BOMA. I think I might be able to talk them into breakfast there, but they're not so adventurous as far as the dinner menu. I bet when I finally do talk them into it, and I will someday, they'll end up being very happy they tried it! Will you take lots of good pictures of the food to help me out in my quest??? :)

[CanadianWDWfan]

Hi, you are going to have soo much fun at Hard Rock/Universal and at MNSSHP!! Glad to know it will soon be all booked.

WoW, what a crew, the more people the bigger the party!!!:thumbsup2

I don't need a Nanny, I have my DMom. :rotfl2: The best babysitter,cleaning lady, cook in the whole world. :)

Very cute pics of Hollie, she makes the funniest faces. :rotfl:

This picture is so :rotfl2:. October at Hard Rock Hotel sounds fun. I have always wanted to stay there a night or two. Maybe the nanny will be fine and Hollie will like her and you will be okay with it. I know how you feel though as Grandma still watches my kids. Baby sitters scare me, even the ones I know. At least you will be going to MNSSHP to hold you over until your November Disney trip.

:rotfl2: Love the Hercules pic!! And yes, it looks fantastic at Halloween! I'll try and post some pics in my PTR!

Hey Heather,
Just checking in to say :wave2: . How much longer until Gatlinburg?

[hlrababy]

I will take lots of photos. I bought a journal at Staples today along with other planning items. So I can write down everything about our trip. Jason just looked at me and said you are not going to take photos of the food are you and I said of course. He is no longer talking to me.

Awww cool!!!!! That is too funny!! You have to do the food pics. You should have seen Chad's face when I first started doing it. By the end of the trip, he would just back away from the table so I could get a good shot!:rotfl2:

That picture is so funny, you look so cool.

Tchoup Chop is great. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a big pond down the middle with china lilypads on, and then roll back seats to the tables. Its Asian-pacific in style and the cuisine, which is so good. We've been a few times and the food is so good, and service great. I can't wait to go back :thumbsup2
awww, thanks girl!!

No way, that sounds gorgeous!!!

OOOOH, you have to find them and send them to me!!! We have the lip sync too! Me and my friends did ours to "The way that you love me" by Paula Abdul and Chad and his friend did it to "Chattahoochee" by Alan Jackson! They are so funny to watch!!!! We both did them at Six Flags.

Do they have a date yet? I was looking at the last 2 years and if they have it the same time I will be in PCB with my parents!!! I hope its not the same dates!!!!!!! It will only be me, I plan on going "out" with Paul while I am there.....:rotfl2: yeah right!!!!

That's something fun to look forward to!!! :cool1:


Now we just have to come up with some costume ideas! For 10 I am sure that will be hard!!

It is a crew!! I am sure a bunch of funny things will happen!!:rotfl2: Its bound to happen....especially after me and the 2 sis-in-laws along with Chad's younger bro share a 3 gallon hurricane from Pat O's!!!

That is us!! My mom and dad keep Hollie all the time!!!!!!!! They are the best!!!! Hollie has her own room there, own playroom, and of course tons of stuff outside.

She is so funny with her faces! I have corrupted her, no serious faces anymore!:rotfl2:

Aww, thanks girl!! We have always wanted to stay there so we are looking forward to it!
I hope she does! I know that we will be nervous, but the good thing is the hotel is right there at Universal while we will be in HHN, so we can always get there fast!
The only people who watch Hollie are my parents and then maybe Chad's mom once every 4 or 5 months (I can't stand that though!! I get so nervous when she is there!)

I am looking forward to the Cinderella's Coach and Snow White and the 7 dwarfs pictures at MNSSHP!!

Hey girl!!!!!!

Well, I am terrible! I haven't booked it yet!! But, the good thing is there is always somewhere to stay there! :rotfl:

[hlrababy]

A little update!

I haven't booked our Gatlinburg trip yet! Chad went to the doctor last week for his back and they are going to do some more epidural shots in his back. The first being the week we were originally going to go to Gatlinburg. Plus, my washing machine totally died yesterday! I went to throw the clothes in the dryer and they were soaking wet!!!! My dad came over today thinking that maybe it was the belt that needed changing...nope! That would be too easy. He couldn't figure out what was wrong, so he is going to this place in our town tomorrow to find out if the guy he knows (who owns the place) can tell him if it can be fixed. If not.....that means a new washing machine!

[hlrababy]

Another funny picture!!!

This was taken on our 1 year anniversary, which of course, we went to Disney!!!!

I laugh everytime I see it!! Chad hated it!!!!!

That is really cool!!!! It took some coaxing to get me in the Horror room!! lol!!
Awww, bless his heart! How old is your son?



Thanks!! He is 5. I have to say that it is so cool that you met John S. I grew up with the Dukes of Hazzard and loved him on Smallville!!

[jewels1916]

Ooo...I hope Chad's back is ok! And bummer on the washing machine! Mine went out a few months ago and it was a huge pain. We had to completely replace the whole unit (which is a stacked washer and dryer). :rolleyes2
Best of luck with it!

[lmillercrew]

Sorry to hear about Chad and his treatment. It really stinks about your washing machine. There are just certain appliances that you can't live without in your home. My garbage disposal has been out for 4 months. But, I'm dealing with it. A washing machine is a little different. I'd have to live at the laundry mat.
Oh, and the whole, "yu wan sum..." thing:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Fooey on the washing machine. :guilty: If you want you can always join us at the Mtns for next to nothing. We'd have to get food and stuff but you have to eat anywhere you go.

I can not believe the f=game has been canceled. I am so bummed.

[ariel2007]

That picture is even funnier, I love them both. I hope I get to go to Disney on my anniversaries, you are so lucky.

That sucks about the washing machine, I hope you manage to get it fixed. And I hope Chad's back gets better soon, poor man. And I hope you still get to go to Gatlinburg, that would not be good if you have to cancel again.

[Villainess]

Hope Chad is ok. Those epi shots are never too much fun.

Also hoping your washing machine can be fixed. I hate how things break around the house just when you're ready to book a vacation or do something important!

It does, I think we are going to have to buy one! But, there is nothing I can do about it!
Thanks, I pray everyday for his back. I feel bad for him being 33 and having a bad back.

I do too!!! It seems like that is when they decided to break!! :rotfl2:

Yes those epi shots HURT...That needle..OMG!! Needles don't normally bother me, but this one sure did!!!

He handled them like a champ last time! We had just hoped that he would never have to get them again! But, that isn't the case.....:sad2:

[Disneyfan71]

I'm sorry...I had a herniated disk about two years ago--I have daily problems but I don't let it get me down. And I still go on the rides at amusement parks :) Hope he's okay though.

I hate to hear that!!

Chad's unfortunately could have been fixed! His mom was told he had scoliosis as a child. She didn't do anything about it! I can promise you, if I was told my child had something like that, I would fix it instead of partying on the weekends. Okay, off my soapbox now......
So, Chad hurt it worse while working. He had 2 discs that completely ruptured and they had to fuse them together. The doctor told him last week that the disc's above the ones fixed were going the same route as the other two....we just hope for a miracle!

[Blueyed Girl]

Okay folks, I talked to my sis-in-law the other night! She has booked our trip for October!!!!! WHOOO HOOOOO!!:cool1:

So, its going to be SIL, dr boyfriend, my 2 nieces, maybe his 3 kids if they aren't with their mom, younger BIL, younger SIL and her hubby, and possibly FIL and S-MIL! Oh, and we can't forget the Nanny! Yes....I said it right. They are taking the Nanny because younger niece won't go to Halloween Horror Nights. So, they are bringing their nanny to play with Hattie and Hollie. We are staying at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal. Now, nothing against the nanny, but we only leave Hollie with my parents. So, I don't necessarily know if we will let Hollie stay with her. But, with Hattie staying with her I know Hollie would in a heartbeat. She LOVES her cousin!!! But, we will see!

Oh, oh, oh!! the good thing about it..........WE ARE ALL GOING TO MICKEY'S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY!!! :cool1: pixiedust: :cheer2:

OMG,that is a LOT of people!!! YAY that you are booked now!! :cool1:

The characature (sp?) was so funny to see. :lmao:

Have a good time picking out a new washer, cause there's always :laundy: ! :rotfl:

I'll pray a miracle for Chad too. It must be awful to have constant back pain. Is the epidural shot the same as when you are in labour? When I had mine it numbed my legs so it can't be the same. It would be great if he could become healed. :grouphug:

[MagicalWorldMommy]

Okay, so I am subscribing to your thread……You are a hoot! I can tell that you are a southern belle, as am I. I have been reading your PTR for the past couple of days, and you remind me of ME! I live right outside of Memphis, so Gatlinburg is always a great long weekend trip option for us as well!

So, I am planning my first family trip (as an adult). I went with my parents growing up and in high school for cheerleading, but this will be the first time since 1997! I am, and always have been, obsessed with all things Disney. We are booked for Nov 29-Dec 4 2009 at Pop. This will be my DHs (31) first time to WDW, and we will be taking our DS (3) he will be 4 by then. My Mom and Step-dad will also be coming with us!

Can’t wait to keep reading!

Prayers for Chad!

Just wanted to welcome the new southerner along!
Hello from just north of Nashville! :wave2:

I hope you'll enjoy being a part of the DIS family. You'll meet a lot of nice, friendly, helpful people around here.

Don't judge everyone by Heather, though. She's a little on the wild side!!!

Naaah, just kiddin'. She's a good one.
And if you ever lack for costume ideas, you're in the right place.

[ariel2007]

Heya how are you? And how is Chad feeling with his back? I really feel for him, I had some back problems before and know how much it can hurt. Luckily mine wasn't that bad, and nothing serious (I hope anyway) but it still really hurt. Anyhow, have you any new plans for any of your trips?

[lazydoxy66]

I'm sorry to hear about Chad's back. I hope things will get better. Your in my prayers.

[xoktenox]

Good luck to Chad with his back! My mom (shes 45) had back surgery after countless numbers of cortizone shots in her back did nothing for her. The surgery was the best thing she's ever done she said. I hope Chad's situation doesn't come to that but know that there is a way for him to not be in pain anymore! :grouphug:

Hey girl!!!!
He is okay, just getting by! I am still hoping for a miracle though! All I can really do is pray for him.

I don't have any plans as of right now. I know I will have tons once they release the MVMCP dates!! Whooo hoooo!!

I'm sorry to hear about Chad's back. I hope things will get better. Your in my prayers.

He likes the shots because he feels better for like a week. Then that is it!! I couldn't imagine being young and having a bad back. He's a man, so he still does what he shouldn't do!
He actually had back surgery in 2005. They fused 2 discs back together and the ones above those are looking bad. I just pray he doesn't have to go through the surgery again. If by chance he does, I really hope it helps him better than the last one. Who knows, by then they might have a new kind of surgery!

DH still thinks it is too far away to be excited, but I just keep telling that he just doesn't realize what lies ahead for him!! I try to pep him up,:cheer2: I make him watch every show about it and try to mention things that I know he will enjoy, but he still looks at me like I am a nut.....:crazy2: OH WELL!

I saw that we will just miss you, I hate that! We both will have our 4 years olds and parents in tow.....Whew, that one may call for a drink!

I could tell the southern belle part, 'cause I say some of the same things as yall;) ....

DH still thinks it is too far away to be excited, but I just keep telling that he just doesn't realize what lies ahead for him!! I try to pep him up,:cheer2: I make him watch every show about it and try to mention things that I know he will enjoy, but he still looks at me like I am a nut.....:crazy2: OH WELL!

I saw that we will just miss you, I hate that! We both will have our 4 years olds and parents in tow.....Whew, that one may call for a drink!

Well, thats the way to do it!!!!! He will get all jacked up soon! I know that it drives Chad crazy that I talk about Disney so much, but he will get over it!:rotfl2:

Shoot, we would have to drink around the world with all the parents we would have!!!:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl:

How about your Gatlinburg trip, any news on that yet? And hows little Hollie?
No, I have slacked!!!! I haven't even made reservations yet! My mother is wanting to go up there when she knows there will be snow, so I haven't really planned anything yet. Chad is supposed to have his shot the day we were gonna leave, so we might have to put it off for a couple of weeks. But, its okay because I think we could find a room anywhere up there.

Hollie is getting ready for a Cinderella Ball she is going too Saturday night!! I will have to post some pictures. All the girls get to dance with Prince Charming, go riding in a carriage ride, eat little sandwichs, etc. It will be really cute!!!

How is Miss Sophie doing?

How's Chad doing? Hope he's ok!! And you too

He is hanging in here!! Thank you for asking! How are you doing?

How is Miss Sophie doing?


She's good thanks. Very busy between ballet, latin and ballroom dance classes, ice-skating classes, flute, guitar, specialist music, Guides, swimming and all the other classed she does, she seems to be non-stop.

The Cinderella Ball sounds so cute, I can't wait to hear all about it and see the pictures. I hope Chad's shot goes ok too.

Whoa!!!! Miss Sophie is one busy chick!!!!!!!!

I actually went tonight and bought 2 more dresses for Hollie to choose from. My Aunt used to own a bridal store and she closed it down 2 years ago. Well, all of her dresses are still in storage and she sold me 2 dresses for $35 bucks!!! They were both originally $90 bucks a piece!!! So, we are going to let Hollie choose which ones she wants to wear. We have those 2 and then my mom ordered a cute princess dress that should come in tomorrow. I asked Hollie if she wanted to wear her Belle christmas dress (just to wear red) and she informed me, "Mommy!!! That is not a Cinderella dress!!" :rotfl2:

[hlrababy]

Well, guess what we got tonight!!!!!!
