A Princess, Pirates and Pixie Dust!

[ladylyons]

It does take a lot of time out of your evening. That's why we didn't plan the DDP - too much planning and waiting for buses and tired kiddos - plus we found that we spent way less on food than we thought we would without it.

We're going to do the regular dining plan just because of the meals we want to do. I agree the less time we spend waiting on buses the better. I know we'll be dealing with tired kids too so the less stops the better.

Take time to just enjoy your holidays with the kids - time flies by so fast, and Christmas comes, whether or not you have that extra batch of cookies baked, or those last 10 cards mailed.

I plan on it. The kids are now off school until Jan 6 and I plan on us just laying low and enjoying our time together. I have a Dr's appointment Thursday but other than that I'm not planning too much. Wait Christmas Cards? I'm supposed to do those too!!!! Don't think that's going to happen this year.

Fun pictures!! Jeremy loves TOT!!! He enjoys telling everyone that he's going to go on it first with Daddy, then Mommy, then Daddy again, then Mommy again (well you get the picture). But after the first ride he's done. Can't wait to see what he thinks of WDW's version over DL's version. I will say I did like WDW's version better.

Loved the pix !!! I have been a bad Disser lately, and the Holiday season is the reason !!! The parties for all the guys at the Group Home is unbelievable in December !! Finally has slowed down and I can breathe again !! Only 1 work day for me before Christmas and that is Christmas Eve . Going in at 6 a.m and leaving early , but have to go back to pick opne up from Dialysis !! Oh well that is the life of a Site Supervisor!!!

I know how it is! I haven't been here much either - just too much to do after work. I hope you can take some time to enjoy the Holidays!

Thanks! It will be fun to see how many times he rides and what he likes his trip!

I know I mentioned this on FB, but just have to repeat it here - We saw Saving Mr. Banks tonight - loved it! It was such an emotional journey both for Mrs Travers and for Walt. I laughed and cried - even Mickey touched my heart. It was a real treat in a world of shallow films and poorly written stories. I give it

Notice Evan's guyliner from his pirate makeup the day before

Johnny Depp wanna be?
Future (or present???) lady killer?

We stopped for a photo or two

I see Mav's still blurred. How is that progressing?

Our first mission of course was to meet up at TSMM.

Of course.

This ride was a big hit with everyone, I was ahead for awhile, but Jim got the hang of it and beat me badly.

You must've been stoked there for a little while.

They interviewed Myles, Mason and Londynn and they were all in for the 1pm show!

Can't wait to see those pics!

It was taking awhile for the interviews, so he went to check on everyone, and they gave him a set of FP for anything, anytime for 11 of us!

Pixie dust score!!

once a pirate..

progressing slowly. There is an aunt who agreed to a home study, but the judge said he is doing well where he is and he would prefer a traditional family - the mom has an attorney now so I suppose that will slow things down.

As for Faith, her mom is still in prison, which should make things go faster, but mom is pregnant, while in prison we think - probably how she gets her drugs. anyway, they are planning on getting that baby, too, because they will be the first called for a sibling thing.

Of course.



You must've been stoked there for a little while.
He always wins everything - except arguments - This is one that I have had an edge on in the beginning, but no more.


Can't wait to see those pics!



Pixie dust score!!







I'm not sure.... Are you saying you liked it?

Yep, the PD is flowing this day! Remember, I took one for the team,

First and foremost,

​

to you and all of your beautiful family.

I'm sorry behind; work has been crazy since we got back and add in the holidays and I've had no DIS time at all.

Looks like a fun time at 1900 Park Fare with great character interaction.

Love all of the photopass pictures at the studios (especially the Monsters one...that is too cute with Mike!:

I so wish they'd had that Jedi training when our boys were little. Glad the kids got to sign up for it. And free fastpasses--you can't beat that.

Love the TOT pictures.

Aww, thank you Kathy! Merry Christmas to you and your family, too! Don't apologize - I have been a bad host and guest also - I will really try to get caught up and do some updates this weekend! I was just looking at your tickers - you will be busy planning right after the Holidays~

Tammie,
From our family to yours!




I know I am far behind on your report; however, you are always in my prayers.​

 

[MAGICFOR2]

From our family to yours Merry Christmas!!

Waiting for Santa? This is the sweetest pic!

Merry Christmas !!!

It was! Hope yours was too - I'm sure I can read about it on your TR - I may be able to catch up this weekend.

Tammie,

Thank you! It was! Hope yours was blessed, too. I appreciate your prayers - though we are so blessed, I shouldn't be asking, but Jim is going through his struggles and I just want the old Jim back. I am so behind on yours and so many TRs, I am just resigned that with working full time it will be that way.

Happy New Year everyone! (well, almost) We are looking forward to the Alamo Bowl - our beloved OREGON DUCKS are playing the Texas LONGHORNSand we have tickets!!!! I've been down the past couple of days with what felt like a flu coming on, but the doc at work is telling me she thinks it's the Texas allergy everyone talks about here - Mountain Cedar, which looks a lot like our Juniper trees back home. I can't spend all Winter and Spring sick, so I guess I'll see if she can prescribe something for me next week. I'm planning to get my nails done today, and rest up for teaching Sunday School tomorrow, so I'll be here to update - I hope I still have readers.

 

[dizneeat]

I am here!

Hope you get better soon. And if it is an allergy I really hope that you get some meds for it.

Happy new year!

Happy New Year everyone! (well, almost)

Just curious... "almost"?
Who are the people that you are not wishing a happy new year to?

Nope. I'm not here anymore.

Oh, shoot. Now you know that's not at all true...

Just curious... "almost"?
Who are the people that you are not wishing a happy new year to?

Well, I am definitely wishing YOU a Happy New Year!

Hope you start feeling better soon!

Thank you - I can't decide if it is allergies or just a cruddy virus - time will tell.

Nope. I'm not here anymore.

Oh, shoot. Now you know that's not at all true...

Caught you! Now you'll have to stick around and read he next chapter!
