Magic in a Winter Wonder World with 1,648 pictures

I don't ride TT but the kids love it and for me the queue is an attraction itself. I love all the details.

I told the CM I didn't want to ride and Amy called me a chicken.

Have you ridden it once and didn't like it, or you just don't think you'd like it? It's not bad at all to me, but I know I couldn't do Mission:Space - not because of the ride part, but because of being closed in. I'm just curious about why you don't ride Test Track.

I know I would like it. I've 'rode' it on Youtube. I get sick on rides that go fast.
MS I would be before it even started.

Hi, popping in for a moment! Loved your TT pics. Your girls are so pretty! I know you are a proud momma.

You aren't chicken for not riding TT. The only part I like on it is the fast part.

This morning the girls made snowflakes and I hung them up in the kitchen. Then after since we can't go outside and have a snowball fight (It's 80 degrees) we had one in the house with paper balls and then played basketball to clean up. Out of the 4 of us it seemed like I was the main target.
The girls wanted to make a gingerbread house for Santa but we were low on supplies, so they made him a village. They're still working on it now. Let's just say it's a little creative. I wouldn't dare eat it though. Food coloring on banana slices is just on of the many things.
I'll post a picture when it's done.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Hi Mel,
Thanks for the compliments on my girls. I am a proud mommy.
The only part I like on Test Track is the seat belt check.

Sounds like you had a fun day with the girls today!

It was a fun day. I wish we had more but either I'm busy working, they're at school, extra curricular activities, with friends etc.

This morning started out like any christmas morning.. watching the Disney parade. We all loved it and can't wait to go see Toy Story 3! Little Andy is going to college.
Then, this afternoon we were going to see Alvin and the Chipmunks but the movie theater's parking lot was worse than the Magic Kingdom parking lot today. So, we came home and went to the beach instead. We all had a great time. I took my camera but the battery died about half way through, but I still got about 20 pictures to share.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

After Test Track there were still activities that involved cars

Amy already got her license

Which means Emily has had hers for a while

Some cars for little boys to drive

Some things for your car

Pins

For those that have a sweet tooth

I need to see this monorail track more often

To refuel after all that driving

Amy

Mitch was on the phone with a client still. He went to some quiet spot in the World Showcase I forget where
Some fun things to cook with

Some magical gloves

I have the bottom ones

Some little Disney friends who need someone to look after them

Minnie things

I love the theme of Mouse Gear

I think this is new from May

There are a lot new Kookie pens since May

No problem. I wish I was in Epcot right now.

Lots of fun in the kitchen with the girls! Sweet memories.

Yes, memories that I will treasure forever.

Glad to hear that you and your family had a very Merry Christmas, Barbara!! LOVE the shopping pics!! Just a side note but did you know that The Blind Side is about a Christian high school here in Memphis? A good friend of ours from church is the principal of the high school and a friend of mine goes to church with the family from the movie!

Hello everybody,

Have a great evening!

Man, now I'm in the mood for some Disney shopping! You can never have enough things with Mickey on them, as far as I'm concerned. I wish it were 80 degrees HERE! We're about half of that. Freezing my tail off. I'm sooo ready for summer!

Cool idea to have an indoor snowball fight. I can't wait to see the pics of the village your girls did.

Happy New Year, Barbara!!

Sorry I have been Mia for a few days we just got the computer back today after it was in the Apple store for a while. This week has been busy. I'll fill everyone in on our adventures tomorrow. We had dinner- Ohana style. In half an hour we are going to a party on our block with a bunch of desserts and fireworks. Until then I decided to share some pictures from the decade, they're in no particular order.

That's interesting. I was watching a special on ABC the other night about the real family.

Hi Connie,
I've had computer issues too. This year we mostly went to other houses for the holidays, so that means next year I have to be the party thrower. Yikes!
We had a great day at Epcot and it just kept getting better.

Man, now I'm in the mood for some Disney shopping! You can never have enough things with Mickey on them, as far as I'm concerned. I wish it were 80 degrees HERE! We're about half of that. Freezing my tail off. I'm sooo ready for summer!

Me too! I was in the kitchen area in WOD and I said to myself "I should really re-model the kitchen and make it Mickey." I could go broke doing that though. It's been in the 50s at night. We went outside to do fireworks in wintercoats. All of us are wimps to the cold from being in FL too long. Amy never saw snow. Mitch is used to it because he travels on business trips. Any colder and I would freeze my tail off.

Happy New Year, Barbara!!

Thanks Becky!! You too! I'm so glad I got to meet you on the DIS and I hope one day we could meet up in person.

What sweet memories Barbara!! I LOVE the old pics!!

They grow up so so so fast.

Happy New Year everybody! We had a great night outside watching DH and all the men try to do fireworks and we all did sparklers and pop its. We had a lot of yummy things. Next week I need to go to the gym to burn it off. Hope everybody has a fantastic year full of adventures, family, disney trips, and creating memories that will last a life time.

Happy New Year!
I just went to look at the activities for give a day get a disney day. Doing it we'll save 300$ on tickets. I'm still not sure what kind of tickets we're going to get. Base or some type of annual. Annual pass is no. Season pass maybe- ours just expired. Or there is a new weekday AP pass for FL residents. With the 300$ off the weekday tickets will only be 90$. The issue is we don't get next year's school calendar until May so I don't know what we would be able to do with the weekday ticket. So, that's why I'm considering Seasonal again. Also, (so many little things, right) there is a deal for FL residents you get 3 months free. Right now that deal is until the end of August but I'm hoping they extend it until December. I was shocked to see how many activities are right in our little town, only 5 minutes away. I was thinking we would have to drive in hour.
Have a good day everyone. I'm going to get gas and go to Target and Ross. On the way I'm dropping the kids off at friends' houses. Later the 4 of us are going to try to see Alvin and the Chipmunks again. (Last friday it was too crowded) We saw Princess and the Frog the other day and it was AMAZING. I knew it would be good but I didn't think it would be that good. The girls loved it and Emily is still talking with her big-daddy New Orleans accent. (Thanks disney)
