Great update Teresa! I loved Lydia's dress and cute Mickey Head hair clip!! So cute! Arminda is such a sweetie too! You all looked like you were really enjoying the day! Loved the update and pics!
I wish I could meet you in Feb. Any chance of you being able to make it???
Thanks!!! The clip is from BBB, you get that and the crown. I have worn it a few times myself. The clip I mean, I have my own tiaras!
I keep hoping by some miracle I'll come into some great amount of money and be able to fly down to Florida for the weekend in February, but at this point, it's not in the works. I sure wish I could go and meet everyone though! It sounds like it is going to be so much fun!
Everyone always says TGM is the way to go, but we do pretty well following our own thing (w/ a little input from another touring site) and haven't seen the need to spend more $ on our WDW trips. Glad to know I wasn't missing out on anything.
Yeah, definately tell Corey. It's a fun thread.
Isn't that nice? They really are talented.
Too bad Henry is no longer my neighbor. He could be sharing the love.
Unfortunately, the pond is no more. Sigh.
But the beauty of the tree roots and dirt clumps makes up for it,
don't ya thank???
Hey, where is this "other" board of yours??? PM me if it is forbidden info!
Corey has been told! Just now, actually
What a wonderful city we live in to do all these wonderful things for you!!!!! Sure makes me wish we lived in town too!!
Awesome update!! My Dh has a 'thing' for Belle!! LOL, those guys and the princesses!!! I loved Lydia's dress, it was very pretty, and I would have definalty commented on it! The pics were great, you guys are just such a wonderful happy family! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful memories with us!
We were having a great time!!! Thanks on the compliments on Lydia's dress!!!
Now that the kids are in bed, I was finally able to read the next installment. Awesome as always! I thought Lydia's dress was darling. I don't know if I said anything when I met you, though.

Sorry if I didn't. Must've been the excitement of meeting the Diser Sisters!
Love all the pics, but the cutest was everyone asleep in the van.
I'm pretty sure you complimented her outfit.

We were so excited to meet you too!
Okay now...Miss Teresa Joy...not only can you sew...you have "hair do" talent as well. Lydia's hair is always done so nicely. I simply CANNOT do those sorts of things with Sally's hair...partly b/c she's got incredibly heavy, thick Italian hair and it just won't stay...but I must say, looking at Lyddie's hair makes me rather GREEN with envy...in a nice way. Of course it makes sense that sewers are hair do-ers too...I mean look at Steph's Megan's hair...always super cute intricate French braids...
JEALOUS!!!
I absolutely ADORE Lyida's Wild Minnie dress. Seriously...you have to have an artistic eye to put prints together so they look pulled together and not insane. You pulled it off girl! Your pretty baby looked FABULOUS!!!
I love all the family pictures

...even though it appears y'all had to fight mannerless louts all day to get some FAMILY ONLY pictures with characters! My word...has the whole "wait your turn" lesson we all learn in kindergarten been totally abandoned in this country?!
Poor Casey...hope she got better. See...y'all should have had the "No getting sick at Disney" rule in place...it works. I swear.
I CAN'T WAIT to hear about the DVC tour...Jay and I are doing that too!!!
great installment dahlin!!!
Thank you, thank you very much!!!
Oh goodness, I spend hours and hours on Lyddys hair getting it just so!!!

Thank you for the compliments on her hair. It is gorgeous, isn't it!!! I keep trying to get her to give it to me, and she just won't!
Poor poor Casey! I'll givey all a little spoiler, the poor child doesn't get better in the next installment either.

And, that was their last full day in Florida. Casey is not a complainer. She once wore a pair of shoes all day, and when we got home, we noticed when she took them off, that blood was soaked through her tights! They had rubbed her foot raw, but she kept walking without saying a word!

We felt so horrible!
Seriously, what's up with these people cutting lines???? Shouldn't they be kicked out of the park for that???? That and t-shirts with nasty sayings on them! oh, don't get me started on THAT one!
Brian although not thrilled with my initial suggestion of checking out DVC, as you might have noticed from his picture!

But, by the time Cori was done talking to us, he was really sort of looking forward to it!
Plus, Cori told me she loved Lydia's dress and that I should try to sell them. I forgot to put that part in my report! The free ice cream and gift certificates didn't hurt the situation!
I think Teresa has it easy because Lydia's hair is beautiful no matter what she does to it: that girl has model hair! I love when she braids it and then takes it out and it is all beautiful curls. Sally's hair sounds like Tom's sister's, she got all the Italian blood in her hair and it is beautiful. I bet when Sally grows up she will have men falling all over her.
Learning how to do French braids is what super cool kids do at band camp while gossiping about how skanky the cheerleaders are. Sorry you were left out, Miss Cammie.
Aww come on now Steph!!! You went and told on me!!!

Actually, it's even easier, becasue I don't even have to braid it to get it to curl, it's just got that wave in it! Sometimes more than others!
I wasn't cool enough for band camp. (the band director wouldn't let me be in band, because I couldn't play holiday or religious music! I played an awesome saxophone in 6th grade though!

)
But, I did learn to French braid by watching Phil Donohue, they had someone on that showed how it was done, and I got out my Barbie styling head and practiced on that. Of course, my Mom told me that I wasn't doing it right, but I really think I was! I haven't changed my technique since then, and it looks lke everyone elses French braids. Not that I have been dwelling on that for the past 30 some years...

...
In my high school, the cheerleaders were all really nice and smart.
Just thought I'd throw that out there!
