They are too cute!
Ya know I am totally not a runner. I need to get in shape lose a few pounds.. but never did I think of considering running. (we live very near a mountain that is used to train to climb REAL mountains so that is usually my activity of choice) However, I have a delightful disfriend who has been clever enough to convince me that the TOT run might be a good thing to do...then if I am able to accomplish that.. her (evil) plan is to make me do the half marathon.So who knows... maybe I too am under my breath.. "did I just type that" saying maybe to it all.
As for your night you overslept and didn't make it to MK. Since your trip and mine were during the same period, I am fairly certain what night you are talking about. It was the only one where MK was open to 3am on our trip.... the guys in my family decided that they definitely wanted to do MK till 3am (rather than get up early) so that became the plan. It was so SO packed. After park closed, we rode 3 or 4 rides. Then it was about 1am and I decided I had to go back to the room and sleep. The guys stayed till 3am and rode I believe only two more rides. They said the lines had nearly hour wait times (yes at 2am!!!)So I think you sleeping turned out to be a great thing!!!!
Love the Minnie pose
I've done that too! Glad it all worked out for you in the end! Can't wait to hear about your early morning at Epcot!
Did you also see this whole village set up over at Epcot in America over by the big Christmas tree? So cute! We thought about buying a set, but we would have wanted to get them all, so we ended up with none.
We really need to take more time and visit. I feel the same, sometimes a set isn't enough... After buying the monorail, I wanted to get all of the playsets. (Because I would really play with the castle--or I have a place where it would not look ridiculous. haha)Sometimes, the best times are the unplanned times! I can't wait to hear about Epcot! What date did you notice the crowds starting to swell? I've always wondered where that "sweet spot" is between Thanksgiving and Christmas that is the best time to go.
Doing the Princess half, are you? Ah, sounds like a challenge to me!!!
I bet you could to it - and it would time up with your trip very nicely. Would you do it at the beginning of your trip? Or at the end?
Cute pics of the girls at the beach - love the Minnie poses!
So, I finally resolved my Sunday breakfast issue. I have decided that we are doing the Gospel Brunch over at House of Blues in DTD. Not really what I had in mind to start with, but it's where I landed! I think DH will love it.
I've gotta make it through the 10 miler, then I can consider a half.
Mine were the same way. The boys would go outside and play basketball for hours, come in and devour mass quantities of food, and then play video games until they fell asleep. Girls drug out all the make-up and nail polish, etc. in the house and made big messes on each others' faces. They had a blast, but there was 'stuff' everywhere. With girls, you risk the drama that comes with some of them - one not liking another or whatever. If I had to do another one, I'd pick a boy sleepover, for sure. Of course, since I have two granddaughters, I don't think I have much of a choice!
Debby, looks like a very fun time for your girls. Jill had a party where they decorated bags one time, too. I think she was eleven that time. They really enjoyed that. Puffy paint was a big deal!
Yay for Epcot pictures. I always sit out with Bella while the others ride Test Track. It messes up my hair, too, so I only like to do it when we're pretty much leaving the park right after that.
I love that the custodiain had Emma help clean - How funny!
I have to back up to the Christmas Village from the other day... There is one house in that set up that I actually have - it's the "Let It Snow" house, and it's one of my favorites - I just love how they had it set up with the garage... Thanks to your pic - I am now on the hunt for the garage. LOL I would love to add the Disney series to my Village collection someday - but as it is, the only place I display them is in my bay window - and I am totally out of room... Unless I find another place... Besides, I really dislike putting it up, and I dread taking it down... I enjoy it while it's up though - so that's why I continue to display it every year.
I love the party pics - for the most part, my girls are done with that stage... I kind of miss it and I kind of don't... I had to ROFL at all the Ipods/Iphones in the pic - that is so cute... I wonder how many of those have cracked screens??? LOL My dd dropped her Ipod last summer (after we had just replaced it when it was stolen in Europe), so we told her that she had to replace her screen with her own $$ - it's still cracked.
OK... Better get movin' on responding to some of the TRs and PTRs I follow - or I'll never get done today. LOL

I was so confused...at the castle lighting, everyone stood. Someone actually, politely told me to sit down. I quick moved to the side so that I wasn't in anyone's way while I stood.
Course, I am not certain that this was the show I even saw since we were standing in a crowd in front of the castle. 
I thought we stood for this show.
Your pictures are (as always) amazing!!!
(The attraction ones need some work. Taking dark ride shots would be easier with more ISO and a higher quality lens--both cost more than I can justify at this point...someday, though.)
