Hello everyone!
As you could probably guess by the title, this is a CHRISTMAS PTR for this Dec...our 1st visit during the holidays and we couldnt be more excited!
This trip has been a LONG time in the making. We first started discussing the idea of the trip back in Aug 2008 on the ME leaving WDW. After seeing a few WDW Christmas shows on Travel Channel, it just sealed the deal...we were going in Dec...of 2012. Why the wait?? Well, at the time I was pregnant with our 3rd child and we wanted him to be 4 years old to enjoy and hopefully remember some of the trip. So that was the plan, Dec 2012. Not long after our 3rd child was born, we found out we were pregnant with our 4th. No going back on our deal with the older kids, we would still go in 2012, but this time with a double stroller
In the next post will be introductions, then giving you some details about the trip.
