~A XMAS STORY~decorations, crowds, pixies..AND A BLOODY NOSE~ACTUAL UPDATE 11/9 p190

[DisCanCan]

The Tonga Toast looks so yummy!! Where did you get the recipe from??

 

[xoktenox]

Great pictures from the Incubus concert! A friend of mine who I used to work with is a hugeeee fan like you are (and a huge Brandon Boyd fan) so I'm sure she reeeeally would have been drooling over those pics!

That Tonga Toast looks so yummy! You were supposed to ship some of that up here to NY for me, weren't you? Where did you get the Disney recipe book? I want one!

 

[tinkgurl]

Whoa, Brandon looks yummy with his shirt off!

Hey, we have the same WDW cookbook! I'm gonna have to try that Tonga Toast recipie now!

By the way, you are mentioned in my most recent update!

 

[MaceysMom]

I am so bummed that I had to miss Incubus this time around!! I've only seen them once a few years ago, but they were awesome!!!!! I also loved when brandon took his shirt off.



Tonga Toast looks great!!! I can't wait to try the real thing in 9 days!!!

 

[MagicShell]

It looks like you have been using your camera a good bit. Zolo is such a cute dog. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip. I hope everything gets back to normal at work so that you can have time to finish.

I've been away...just got caught up.... I love American Girl dolls but my oldest hasn't asked for one yet and I am hesitant to push the issue. I know if I showed her everything she would go nuts but it's so expensive!! It's two sided as I don 't want to get her addicted but if I have to play dolls with her anyway I'd love to play with the American Girl dolls!

Oh by the way...tell Ray just not thinking about having a girl does not work! With our second one I thought I was having a boy for sure...the pregnancy was different...the way the baby moved and behaved was different and I chanted BOY BOY BOY....ummm yep we got a girl... she's a TOMBOY at heart so maybe something worked. (eventhough I chanted BOY BOY...I LOVE my GIRL!!! In many ways it's much easier having 2 girls so "someone" knew what they were doing by giving us our two girls!) I know you guys will be happy either way no matter which sex you get....it's awesome either way!

 

[Spartangirl]

Hey Dawn, I'm back! Been missing for awhile...life (and trips) seem to get in the way of the DIS sometimes...

OH MY GOSH...the bloody nose! Glad that Luke was ok and it's great that Disney handled everything so well.

Your camera...AWESOME! I never have looked back after getting a DSLR a couple of years ago.......just wait until you learn to do even more with it. Have fun!

I know you said the Tonga Toast didn't taste as good as Disney's, but it sure looks good!

 

[MeMom]

now it's coated with cinnamon and sugar.........

and now it's covered in syrup and READY TO EAT!!!!

so good yet SO BAD!

I saw your update very quickly at school today, but of course I could not see the pictures. It looks like the Tonga toast turned out really good!

Give the backyard camping another try in about a month and it should be very nice. That was a fun thing to do just because.

Back to AL tomorrow for Brooklynn's Nemo party with friends. This girl has definitely milked this 3 year old thing for all it is worth!

Hope you guys have a great weekend. I think you need some rest.

 

[jpprincess1]

I read your trip report and the funny thing is maybe we seen each other...with out knowing, of course. My family and I were down there at the same time you were last year.

I loved the pictures of anna's boy...him dancing...him excited...him overwhelmed with glee. They were very fun pics to look through and since our next trip isn't until October it was fun to live through them. I have a son that is 4 too so I understand how accidents can and will happen. When you said that Anna lost it...so did I. I hope he is okay...I want to say his name is Luke but I can't remember for sure. His nose sure looked broken. I hope you all stayed with the news that it wasn't...poor baby.

Thanks again for sharing. It was a fun view through the eyes of you!!

[lmillercrew]

What a fun way of spending the night! A little bit of privacy with some outdoors mixed in! Great pictures of nature too!!

 

[punkin413]

once again i'm here apologizing! if you're on facebook you may have seen that i was in a deposition until around 6:30 friday night. well, they needed it done by TOMORROW so i've been typing all weekend. it's great money but takes a lot of time. anyway, needless to say i didn't get my videos uploaded. will work on that on my first day off this week (if i get one!).

work is way overrated.

you said it.

That tonga toast looks so good!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks...it was!

Women and their rock singers....

That Tonga Toast looks awesome!!!!!!!

awww......brandon.......drooooool!!!!!!!!!!!

the toast was good but disney's is still better.

Sadly, she lost that baby last weekend.

aw, i'm so, so sorry, tammie! i know there's nothing i can really say to make you guys feel better but you're in my prayers.

Looks like you had a fun concert!

it was a great time!

YUM! That Tonga Toast looks incredible!!! What cookbook are you using? I'm guessing it's a Disney one...

i'm using the "cooking with mickey and the disney chefs" cookbook i got at the disney store in NYC. i tried to find a link for it online but i couldn't find it.

LOVE IT!
#1...Incubus rules..no doubt!
#2..ZOLO is way too cute..love his wild eyes!
and #3 TONGA TOAST AND BACKYARD CAMPING!???? so fun! that toast looks awesome by the way, i have never had it!!

#1 - yes, ma'am, they do!
#2 - he's such a funny dog, too.
#3 - oh, you must try it next time you're at disney. it's wonderful!

The Tonga Toast looks so yummy!! Where did you get the recipe from??

i got it from the "cooking with mickey and the disney chefs" cookbook that i got in the disney store in NYC.

thanks! oh, he's (brandon boyd) so yummy. i tried to ship it but the post office wouldn't let me because it had so many calories it was considered hazardous material. i got the book at the NYC disney store.....so you can get one too!

 

[punkin413]

Whoa, Brandon looks yummy with his shirt off!

Hey, we have the same WDW cookbook! I'm gonna have to try that Tonga Toast recipie now!

By the way, you are mentioned in my most recent update!

tell me about it!

it was good. just be sure to get a big loaf of sourdough bread that you can cut into really thick slices so they're thick enough for you to stuff bananas in! i'm so sorry i'm behind on everyone's TR - it's nothing personal. i'm behind on everybody's! i will try to get caught up soon....i promise! work right now is just crazy. i have 3 hours of depositions, 2 jury trials, a day of motions and a 2-day hearing left to type.

they are always so good live! brandon with his shirt off is always the highlight of the show for me. oh, you'll have to let me know how you like the tonga toast....i love it!

It looks like you have been using your camera a good bit. Zolo is such a cute dog. Can't wait to hear about the rest of your trip. I hope everything gets back to normal at work so that you can have time to finish.

i will finish - it's just taking me longer than i thought!

I know you guys will be happy either way no matter which sex you get....it's awesome either way!

the american girl dolls are so cute but they are so expensive! i would put it off as long as possible. i will pass that info along to ray. i've heard so many crazy things about how to get one sex or the other. it's so funny!

Hey Dawn, I'm back! Been missing for awhile...life (and trips) seem to get in the way of the DIS sometimes...

OH MY GOSH...the bloody nose! Glad that Luke was ok and it's great that Disney handled everything so well.

I know you said the Tonga Toast didn't taste as good as Disney's, but it sure looks good!

tell me about it! i've been sooooo busy lately with work. i felt so bad for poor luke with his little nose and busted lip. but disney handled it so well. i love the camera and so does ray! he's learning a good bit about it too. i want to take a class but can't seem to find the time lately!

Hope you guys have a great weekend. I think you need some rest.

it was good but of course disney's is better! we probably will camp out in the yard again in the fall. it was just too humid! it's actually been really nice here this weekend....like fall weather! i saw the pics of brooklynn's birthday on facebook but haven't commented yet. looks like a fun time! i hear you're sick - i hope you're feeling better!

cool that you were there when we were! were you there that friday, i believe it was 12/12? it was SO COLD that day! yes, his name is luke. and no, his nose was not broken. i'm like you though - i thought it was when i saw him. it's healed up now and you can't even tell anything happened. thanks so much for reading....glad to have you!

What a fun way of spending the night! A little bit of privacy with some outdoors mixed in! Great pictures of nature too!!

it was fun but so humid! i'm thinking we might do it again in the fall when it's not so bad.

Hey Dawn I was wondering how you liked the Dane Cook show? I remember that you were going to go and was thinking you must have seen him by now.

 

[punkin413]

yeah, we saw him back in late june. he was hilarious! he has a potty mouth but still really funny.

Okay thanks for the tip!

Hey, don't worry! I know you'll get caught up on my TR eventually!

 

[happenin2you]

i've finally made my way through your entire report until this point! it's been awesome! it's amazing how many ups and downs there can be in someone's life over the course of a year, reading about them all compressed like this really shows it well. my prayers go out to you for the loss of Lucy (we have a beagle, Roxy, as well as a pomeranian, Trixie, who are always keeping things interesting) and for things to be resolved in the best way possible with your brother's family and anything else i may be forgetting. so far it looks like you guys had a fabulous time in the world and i can't wait to see more. we're planning a trip for dec 2010 and have been pondering mvmcp and i think your description sold me on it. also, anna has some serious looking arms! that girl must be working out, hardcore. we're moving in a month and i plan to increase my workout routine after that. here's hoping to killer arms like that within the next year i think you and your husband and the cutest couple, too, and i can't wait to see your future babies! from one disney lovin girl who's missing out on WDW in 2009 (is it weird that i don't think going to DLR counts, since i live so close and go often?) to another, thanks for the great TR!

Awhhh! Zolo is adorable! Great pics! You must be enjoying your new camera!

hi, there! thanks for much for reading....great to have you! thanks about lucy. we miss her so. we had such a blast seeing all the christmas stuff. you will love it! and yes, anna has some guns! she's a fitness trainer. thanks about me and ray! i really want to go to DLR at some point. it's just that it's across the whole country! but i want to wait until my child is older so they will remember it. since WDW is only 8 hours a way i will take them there before they have a memory of it because they're free!

Awhhh! Zolo is adorable! Great pics! You must be enjoying your new camera!

isn't he? he's such a funny little dog! if i could get a break from work i'd be enjoying the camera more!!!
