Let it Snope Let it Snope Let it Snope! A Very Merry crowded Christmas! Nov Report updated and over

[IowaTater]

We ended up doing it twice! Both of them just as much fun as the other! We truly love this ride!

I love this ride, I really do but it makes me sooooo sick. I only do it because my DH loves it so much. I always have to end up with my eyes closed about halfway through (if not sooner). He's lucky I love him.

Oh and I have to say, in the first HS photo I am totally horrified by that lady's blue dress. Definitely not the right outfit for that body shape! And is it the shadows or is the front all wet?

I'm so glad someone else noticed this too. I know I do not have a perfect body by an stretch of the imagination and I realize the temps at WDW can be horrendous but I like to think that there are ways for people to dress for the heat & their body type. And FYI, they do make strapless bras. Just sayin'.

[Iamthequeen]

Ok, so I didn't know you started your tr, bad Tess, bad. My excuse is our own trip and then having to get ready for Christmas. I couldn't even fit in a trip to see Shannon . I wasn't even sure I would get a tree up this year, but we did. Even got the presents wrapped before Christmas morning . So lets get with the updates already.....

[DisMom1981]

[FancyNancy]

Subbing in! I have been a lurker on your past TR's but they were too far by the time I got into them. Hope you all had a Happy New Year!

 

[OregonMomToWDW]

Happy New Year!

 

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

I've been on a little Dis break because of the holidays too.
Hope you and your family have had a great few weeks.

 

[goofymimi]

Hi Mo, sorry I am so far behind, I am glad y'all had a safe trip..am really looking forward to reading about the trip..Hope y'all had a fabulous Christmas and New Year..I will try to keep up better..

 

[Wood Nymph]

I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I decided that having Christmas fall on a Friday was the best thing in the world. It was two four day weekends in a row with only a few days of work in a two week period. I hope you had those days off, too.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

to you and your family too!
(Especially poor neglected Raven)​

I don't even bother putting up a tree at my house...I can only imagine how many times it would be knocked over. I will post pictures of the trees I have up in my office. I am seriously considering keeping one up year round...it just makes me happy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I love your little trees!! They are adorable!

Hey Mo!
Great TR so far. I was following along on your PTR, and then the school year began. Now that I have 2 weeks off, I can binge on the DIS and build anticipation for our upcoming trip Marathon Weekend! Have a great Christmas!

How is she not fired yet???

I'm going to hold you to that, lady! (I'm slowly returning myself...)

I miss it too... I want to be there now..

I love this ride, I really do but it makes me sooooo sick. I only do it because my DH loves it so much. I always have to end up with my eyes closed about halfway through (if not sooner). He's lucky I love him.

Oh No! Well at least you can ride it at least once! I know many who cannot ride it at all!

I'm so glad someone else noticed this too. I know I do not have a perfect body by an stretch of the imagination and I realize the temps at WDW can be horrendous but I like to think that there are ways for people to dress for the heat & their body type. And FYI, they do make strapless bras. Just sayin'.

[Chicago Mo]

Hello everyone! Do you remember me? I know i know it's been forever!!!

I can either tell you all I was waiting for everyone to catch up.. Or

OK i will tell you the truth!

I am SO SORRY i went MIA. it's been insane here. Between the jobs. Shopping, Volleyball, the parents, Disney, volleyball parents (yes it should be written twice) it's been awful.

As in we bought a tree in the beginning of December after one of our volleyball games went home put it up.









Then is sat there







and sat







Sitting some more for days...






Sat some more before anyone put a ornament on the poor thing. We were either at Basketball, volleyball, work or sleeping!!!


Thankfully it wasn't decorated!!! since this happened:


Tom BLAMED MY DOG! NO way. Na ugh.. Not my Logan. Then he explained how Logan was the only one who was pose for the picture as Lex was hiding in a corner some where!!! mmmmmmmm Yeah that sounds more like it!

Poor Logan... The weekend before Christmas we did finally decorate the poor shriveled up thing..

We had our Christmas Luncheon here which of course was thrown at me to get together... Why??? It went well. the food was amazing! these people are fantastic cooks!!
Then our CDOT Christmas party which i wasn't going to go to but my old boss who i dearly miss talked me into it. We had a great time:

I work with a lot of people who i grew up with in the neighborhood. This is also my Bro-in law's best friends.. So i was in good hands..

We did go and see Star Wars.. With OUT kids! My Step-dad, Tom, and myself! We went to the 21+ show-- I wanted to treat my Step-dad:


The seats were AWESOME:


YES they recline that much!!! and you have a little table for your food/drinks!!! LOVE THIS THEATER!!! I curled up in that BIG over-sized reclining piece of heaven and watched an OK movie...We all thought it was OK... yeah yeah i know i will be blasted for this. But we did... I thought the plot was rushed-you had a bunch of characters thrown at you without the great backstories we have had in the past movies. the Cinematography was the BEST! I loved how they went with the 70's style again!!! see good with the bad..

We did make time to make Christmas Cookies. Traditions must keep up traditions!
I don't know how you all make cookies but this is how we do it...
Video:



We made a LOT of cookies this night.

Christmas came fast.
Just like shopping! I did ALL the Christmas shopping on Dec 22... Yes you read that right. I did a binge shopping. got everything needed in a couple of stores. the Kids didn't ask for much but what they did ask for was ridiculously priced. All Matt wanted was a X-box one. Zack wanted the lego Dimensions and well Meg wanted Littlest Pet shop, stuffies, and shopkins. <-- that was the easy part.
I had to take a day off of work to get it all done! CRAZY! I will never do this again..... Ever!

We always do Christmas at my Mom's house we had a GREAT time!! I do love my crazy loud family.
My Nephew was Santa:


My Niece and Nephew. She is just a joy.


I have to share this.. I have a cousin who is.... Short.... Really short.. Like her brother tried to get her dwarf status... it didn't pan out. (he did it as a joke)


Yes Matt is taller than she is!!! Funny stuff here... well we think it was a riot...

Next thing we knew it was 6am Christmas morning...
the kids flew through the presents and screamed in delight over everything they wanted.




Except Zack. Who unbeknownst to me really wanted a Anki Over drive... Oops. maybe later!!











Then Lex stole Pluto from Zack


Stevie loved the train




Then is was time to start the BIG BREAKFAST! I was ready:


Raven was scared to DEATH of me... Silly dog...

The kids went and played outside since it was like 40° out.. we cleaned up and had a wonderful quiet Christmas!

some of the crazy things that happen in my house


We had Volleyball camp from Monday to wednesday.. I had to have a parent's meeting to tell parent's HOW TO ACT IN PUBLIC.. I almost quit twice so far. it's been awful.

New Year's i had to work the retail job then head over to my sisters house. WE HAD A BLAST! just us kids played downstairs and just had a great time.

My one picture i took this night.





This past Saturday we had a couple of friends by. One of them Her mom had passed away the thursday before Christmas so we thought it would be good to get her out of the house.
This happened:


The kids lost.

So This is the year of the house.. I am taking back my house. Zack and i started in the kitchen. scrubbing cabinets!
SOME of our mug collection:



If you haven't played Disney Dream treats you must...






Needless to say if i wasn't at work-volleyball-basketball i was in BED. Now that i am back to my city job i hope to have a little time. Isn't that sad?

I think i have given you enough to read until i can get my mind around another real Disney update!!!

 

[Pluto0809]

Yay! You're back! Looks like you had a wonderful though quite busy Christmas and New Years.

I really wanted those Disney slipper you are wearing but I waited too long and they sold out of my size.

What in the world is that Disney Treats? I've never heard of it but it looks like fun.

I've updated twice over the holidays but I'm still only a little bit ahead of you because of the insane amount of pictures I took.

 

[Blissikins]

Happy New Year! I think I am just about caught up now! It looks like you had a wonderful time!

Thank goodness the dogs were home to put your tree in the recovery position when it collapsed. Christmas saved! Good job puppies!

That cinema looks AMAZING! We went to the 00:05 showing at our local cinema, but the VIP screen was booked before we even managed to get online to book tickets. Even that doesn't have sweet reclining seats like that though!

I have to start doing The Mixer Dance...Burn off the calories before you eat them, smart kid!

You're brave leaving all your shopping until the 22nd! I'm terrible, I do all mine online on my lunch breaks. After a day in retail I just can't face shopping for myself though!

That train is adorable! The "Stevie loved the train" photo took an age to load, I SO hoped he would be riding it! He's such beautiful colours.

I love your apron! I just want everything that they make in that pattern. Why does Disney want to bankrupt me?! I hope they still use it next year when I've had time to save up for my next Christmas delivery!

I really need to look up "Disney Treats", I've never heard of it.

 

[cajunfan]

Whoo hoo! You survived...glad to see that! Great pics...poor Raven, I would be scared of you too...
