Brooklynn takes Bella to see Cinderella. Last thread.

[tinkgurl]

Isn't it so neat watching Wishes from the beach?

Brookie is out like a light!

 

[praisehisname]

So precious!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I don't think there is any such thing as "bad" Wishes pictures. Any pictures of Wishes are good ones as far as I am concerned.

I agree with Jackie!

 

[Poolrat]

Joining on the bandwagon with Jackie and Jillyb.
Any picture of wishes is a good picture.

MeMom, so close to departure day, both for the summer report and going back . You have timed it perfectly.

You are in single digits now

Totally tapped out.

Awwwwwwwwwww! So cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mom, my grandma, and I went to Toys R Us today to do some shopping for Kazin and Caleb I was in charge of picking out clothes, while my mom and grandma picked out toys. I had way too much fun I found a Mickey sweatshirt and sweatpants for Kazin! I was so excited! I couldn't find any Disney clothes in Caleb's size unfortunately. Good thing we got all that shopping done today. We're gonna have a huge snowstorm tonight. 9 to 11 inches! Gotta love New England winters I LOVE snow so I'm excited!

My mom just bought some Mickey and Minnie wrapping paper

And just for fun, here's a cute picture of Kazin. That's his "why is my crazy cousin taking pictures of me while I eat little banana pieces?" face.

this is adorable.

love all the WL pictures and you can't go wrong with wishes pictures no matter what!

and you're not slow. it took me almost a year to finish my december TR.

 

[slightly_obsessed]

The kids have brought in drinks, tons of chips, and a few cookies. We are also having ham sandwiches. They'll have a good time. Santa comes to school and hands out treat bags with candy, coloring books, and fruit.

man, I want to be in the 2nd grade again!

Brooklynn just looks so tuckered but what a super cute picture!

 

[MeMom]

Just think, soon you will be watching those fireworks on that very beach! Brooklynn will probably be looking about the same....zzzzzzzzz

Woo Hoo for Christmas break!

Yep. It will be a fun night. Last time I checked, the nighttime was going to be in the 40's, so we'll have to wrap up good.

A definite woo hoo for the break!

Hi MeMom
Just wondering if you have seen this website
www.wdwlive.com
If you go to webcam it has an not so live view of main street and every night around 10 fla time you see wishes. It is a nice pick me up for when you cant be there in person.

I have. You are right; it is a good pick-me-up. I want someone walking around with a live camera all the time, for whenever I need to transport myself there for a few minutes.

Isn't it so neat watching Wishes from the beach?

Brookie is out like a light!

Yes, it is. In the summer, it's not too crowded. Fourth of July was crazy, and I expect NYE to be crazy, but still lots of fun.

Brooklynn was exhausted. Jill turned her upside down and all around and she just flopped like a rag doll.

So precious!!!

I think so, too.

I don't think there is any such thing as "bad" Wishes pictures. Any pictures of Wishes are good ones as far as I am concerned.

Good thing the subject matter redeems the picture quality. Maybe Drew can get some good fireworks pictures on this trip.

jillyb - Sorry I apparently didn't hit your quote button good enough. Wishes is an incredible fireworks show, and I wish I could do it justice. Drew's camera is better than mine and he know what he is doing, so I hope he will get some really nice pictures this time. I might see if I can video.

That's so funny! You know we always squeak in under the wire and finish about ten minutes before we leave for the next trip!

Stay safe and warm in the midst of all that snow! We got a little bit here last night, but I haven't looked out the window this morning to see if anything stuck.

Yay for Mickey and Minnie wrapping paper!

Keep taking those random pictures. Last night at Cookies with Santa with the church, people were waiting for the kids to get all settled on Santa's lap before they snapped. I was taking pictures of the crying, struggling to get away, close-up expressions, etc., and I think I ended up with much better pictures.

this is adorable.

love all the WL pictures and you can't go wrong with wishes pictures no matter what!

and you're not slow. it took me almost a year to finish my december TR.

My plan is to get you some good Christmas Wilderness Lodge pictures so you can really dream of 'this time next year' in a big way.

Since we are not going to have a March trip, this December trip will probably last until June 30th, because I think we're leaving on July 1st.

man, I want to be in the 2nd grade again!

Brooklynn just looks so tuckered but what a super cute picture!

Well, I just had a liitle girl move, I was told Friday, so there's an empty desk. However, it's not always fun and games, so be prepared and have your pencils sharpened.

I can look at that picture and remember how hot and tired we were. There was some kind of glitch with the boats, and we had to wait a little while. I do remember my knee hurting a lot as we were standing there.


**********************************

I had planned for us to have a morning walk around Wilderness Lodge this morning, but the pictures Jill loaded did not include those, so I will hope that maybe she can load them tonight when she gets home and we'll do that tomorrow morning.

Since we were now at a 'luxurious' resort, the plan was for the pace to be slower - more sleeping in and hanging out. If my memory serves me correctly, Jill's bunch did sleep in, and we went over to Magic Kingdom after breakfast. When my pictures get on, I'll be able to remember facts better. Looking at the ones she did load, though, I can tell you that this is the day Brooklynn did Barnstormer again, so we'll see what her face looks like this time!

 

[MeMom]

So that we don't get bored over here while we are waiting for that Wilderness Lodge walk, I thought I'd share some pictures from a few happenings over the last few weeks.

We'll start with cuteness.

At my house.

The morning of the St. Jude Walk.

Signs of Christmas at the mall.

Hidden Santa.

Ornament shopping.

Playhouse Disney.

My Favorite Ee-war.

A fun bunch to sled with.

I liked this one, too.

I had to buy this one, because you know how much Brooklynn loves riding Nemo in Epcot.

Next Christmas, I will get a Toy Story one in honor of the Toy Story 3 movie.

Who requested a warthog for Christmas?

Precious Moments.

Not Christmas, but so much fun for all year 'round!

Another one of my favorites - J. Cricket.

 

[MeMom]

Back out into the mall, this guy reminded me of Germany/Epcot.

Bella tangling with a tiger.

Later that day, we went to the Princess Party.

This place was heaven for Brooklynn.

Getting her hair done.

Bella on the move.

Brooklynn's totally non-matching shoes.

Imagine if Cinderella had chosen those shoes?!?!?

 

[MeMom]

Tree trimming time at my house.

Dinner at Mama Melrose's place.

Our own Osborne Lights.

Yes, the guys did make fun of me.

My sweet baby!

Mickey and a little friend.

Minnie joined in the fun.

Brooklynn loved decorating the little tree.

Some of my ornaments.

More Osborne Lights.

I had just strung lights all over the cabinets. It was Disney dorky, but Brooklynn loved it, and that's all that counted.

 

[MeMom]

Christmas crafts at school. My students were making reindeer faces with footprints and antlers with handprints.

I won't show any where you can see faces, but the little boy who lost his home to fire is showing me his in this picture. He wanted me to get a picture of the collar he made for his reindeer.

A Santa letter from one of my girls.

On top of one of my sets of cubbies.

Some of the Disney Dollars that Brooklynn and Bella will be getting today.

Last night at Cookies with Santa.

Cousin Kellye with grandsons Eli and Owen.

Parker, Carson, Kemper, and Eli chowing down on pizza and cookies.

This one is the spitting image of his mommy when she was little.

Dean in his Cars Christmas pajamas.

Lining up to go wash hands. Kemper is 'encouraging' Carson to come on!

The outcome of my day of baking.

It's already been picked over some, at this point.

Our new meeting hall at camp.

After the little ones left from seeing Santa, the older kids were staying to watch Muppets Christmas Carol.

The boys see Santa arrive!

Dean was not thrilled.

Eli was not thrilled either.

Does this face not scream Christmas happiness?

Parker enjoyed ringing the sleigh bells.

Nana and Poppy (Cousin Dawn and husband Ricky) help Parker check out his treat box.

On a side note, Dawn and Ricky will be celebrating their 30th anniversary in Disney World next month!

Time to go home.

It was a rainy/snowy evening, and everyone with little ones, and old ladies who don't see well at night (moi) headed home.

Hope you have enjoyed the pictures. Have a wonderful Sunday, and stay warm!

 

[praisehisname]

I thoroughly enjoyed your pictures! Hope you have an amazing day today! Our church cancelled services today due to the blizzard, so I am staying in and making fudge and cookies!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Great Christmas fun pictures! I was cracking up over the boys looking less than thrilled to be meeting Santa!!!

I have a Precious Moments nativity set that my grandmother gave me when I was little. It is one of my favorite Christmas decorations to set out each year.

well, thank you so much for thinking of me. you are so sweet!

i'm predicting a tutto italia reservation during that summer trip. and the cute italian servers mentioned in jackie's TR have absolutely nothing to do with my prediction.

loved the christmas pictures. thanks for sharing! your house looked adorable. i loved the osborne lights. oh, and that one picture of the little boy "encouraging" the other one was hilarious! kids freaking out over santa is always fun!

 

[k_reile]

my mom just got my nephew the handy manny one this christmas!! we had our christmas at my mom's yesterday (our "Happy Merry Maw-ma Christmas day" as my nephew called it ) and the boys both got Handy Manny suitcases to take to Florida. THey will be looking quite stylining with their handy manny suitcases and the mickey mouse clubhouse book bags I got the boys...won't be able to tell we we are going in 7 weeks from Yesterday!!!! THe countdown is starting!!

I was taking pictures of the crying, struggling to get away, close-up expressions, etc., and I think I ended up with much better pictures.

So I said 9 to 11 inches. More like 9 PLUS 11! Yes, we have TWENTY inches! I woke up to a winter wonderland this morning! I would love a snow day tomorrow. We're not one of the lucky schools who gets the whole week off. We have school monday, tuesday, and wednesday But after that we're done until January 4

Taking random pictures is fun

I've always wanted one of those!

Who requested a warthog for Christmas?

That was probably my dad. He loves Pumbaa

I love all of the Christmas pictures! I'm excited for Kazin and Caleb's first Christmas

 

[brookelizabeth]

I'm with ya though, not a fan of getting soakin' wet unless it's VERY hot out.

This is a very sweet picture...I love how adoringly Jill is looking at Bella.

A poster for Cars 2.

Not sure when it is coming out. Does anyone know yet?


This is probably heaven for Henry!

I do believe it's June 2011.

Ah yes, Henry would be dancing if he saw all that stuff!

Must try Butterfinger cupcake!

This is a great shot, Trent looks very focused on getting to WL, on the edge of his seat!

Here's my crew, along with Raphael, who Brooklynn, for some unknown reason, called Chabalito.

That is HILARIOUS about the waiter!! Where in the world did she come up with that?

And, ooooh, sleeping baby picture.... so sweet!

You guys had an excellent room location!! Very nice!

Very cute picture here!

Apparently they freeze over the pool area, eh? Good thing we are staying at AKV, we get enough of that snow and ice stuff in Minnesota!

Did you eat those? I loooooved those WL chocolates. Yum.

What a perfect way to end the evening! Great picture here too... so cute.


I enjoyed all the pictures from your life too - you've been a busy, busy lady lately, haven't you! Everything looks like it was a lot of fun though!

 

[MeMom]

I thoroughly enjoyed your pictures! Hope you have an amazing day today! Our church cancelled services today due to the blizzard, so I am staying in and making fudge and cookies!

I think I need to move near you. Every time it snows, you are in the kitchen making goodies!

We just got a dusting of snow. It was pretty on the rooftops.
Looked like winter.
Definitely felt like winter!

Great Christmas fun pictures! I was cracking up over the boys looking less than thrilled to be meeting Santa!!!

I have a Precious Moments nativity set that my grandmother gave me when I was little. It is one of my favorite Christmas decorations to set out each year.

Dean absolutely would have nothing to do with Santa. He liked his treat box, though.

I bet that Precious Moments set is a special treasure for you. Jill has several Precious Moments Disney figurines, and she is planning to add a Small Workd one to her collection on this trip, I think.

well, thank you so much for thinking of me. you are so sweet!

i'm predicting a tutto italia reservation during that summer trip. and the cute italian servers mentioned in jackie's TR have absolutely nothing to do with my prediction.

I hope you enjoy the Wilderness Lodge morning walk we are taking in a few minutes.

Good food and good-looking waiters. That's a no-brainer; we need to book it!

The boys were cute. I would have loved it if my girls had been here, but they needed to do Christmas in Kentucky so they'd be ready to go to Florida.

my mom just got my nephew the handy manny one this christmas!! we had our christmas at my mom's yesterday (our "Happy Merry Maw-ma Christmas day" as my nephew called it ) and the boys both got Handy Manny suitcases to take to Florida. THey will be looking quite stylining with their handy manny suitcases and the mickey mouse clubhouse book bags I got the boys...won't be able to tell we we are going in 7 weeks from Yesterday!!!! THe countdown is starting!!

Very neat that the boys have Handy Manny suitcases!
Seven weeks will go by quickly - especially these next two.
I am so excited for you to be able to take Caleb for the first time!

So I said 9 to 11 inches. More like 9 PLUS 11! Yes, we have TWENTY inches! I woke up to a winter wonderland this morning! I would love a snow day tomorrow. We're not one of the lucky schools who gets the whole week off. We have school monday, tuesday, and wednesday But after that we're done until January 4

I love all of the Christmas pictures! I'm excited for Kazin and Caleb's first Christmas

Maybe the teachers will put some fun in the last few days of school.
Stay safe in all that snow!

I will be getting more random pictures in just a few more days. Wonder what fencepost or crack in the sidewalk is just waiting to be photographed?

I'm with ya though, not a fan of getting soakin' wet unless it's VERY hot out.


This is a very sweet picture...I love how adoringly Jill is looking at Bella.

I enjoyed all the pictures from your life too - you've been a busy, busy lady lately, haven't you! Everything looks like it was a lot of fun though!

One of the best things about being a grandparent is watching your child adore his/her child.

I may have to share a Butterfinger cupcake with someone on this trip, too. It looks better every time I see it.

We have no idea where Brooklynn came up with Chabalito. She's just a weird kid.

We had a great location at WIlderness Lodge. I'd love to stay right there in that same spot again someday.

I still have a couple of WL chocolates somewhere.

Today's busy-ness is going to be cleaning the house from top to bottom.
Tomorrow I will focus on shopping for the trip and packing.
Other than that, I feel like a free bird, since I have nor school work looming large in the background. I am very happy about that!
