Good Morning from the World MeMom! I hope all is well in your part. I'm up early this morning because they decided to cut the grass on the golf course outside my room at 5am. I'm enjoying your pictures of Animal Kingdom, since this is where we will be going in a few hours. Brooklyn looks so cute waiting for them to sign her book. Well, hopefully I can come back on her this afternoon, before heading to
MVMCP. Have a Happy Sunday!
How nice to hear from someone live from Happy World! I hope you had a great day at Animal Kingdom.
Dawn was there, too.
OK, I just have to say, this sounds like an AWESOME party. How fun!
I was at our local Walgreens yesterday and they had lots of them. Hope you find one
That baby shower was very creative. There are so many kind and creative people around here.
we went to 3 Walgreens yesterday in Baltimore area. No Mickey or Minnie trees - just Pooh trees. We really wanted Mickey or Minn.
Sorry you didn't find your tree. Maybe by the time you find one, it'll be half price! I got a couple of half price items today that I was very pleased with. It was my reward (?) for waiting until almost Christmas to get this house decorated.
Plus, there was a giant Castle. I don't think any of us having anything quite like that in our house!
Just another reason to go back.
I still haven't seen that parade. In 2006 we were on the Rafiki float, so we kinda saw it standing on the sidelines backstage as the floats came in, and this past year our minds were elsewhere that day, I completely forgot about it. I think Henry would love all the colors and music, I am going to try to see it next month!
Henry would love the parade, and so would his mommy. If I was going to be in any parade, I'd like to be in that one. They have cool rides!
Hi Memom and Jill and gang!!!
Great pics from the parade!! That was a great idea to stand just beyond the bend because when you took the shots of the parade vehicles you could see the sides and front too! Did you plan that??? In any case, I am amazed at all the decorations....and the grouchy cm... How warm was it at that point...do you remember? I am longing for warmth as well....each winter I enjoy it less and less and less. 
What a cute and thoughtful idea for a "baby shower" and maternity leave party. I bet she was so happy! Sorry about the ice storm. I just read about one disser who is quite concerned that her pipes will freeze during the power outage and 18 F degree weather. I hope you have power at least!
I will have to see if Walgreens has a little tree for us. The girls want a tree in their room and what better than a Minnie or Mickey one 
Have a peaceful and wonderful Sunday everyone! 
I also like to get at the bend over across from the Liberty Bell in Magic Kingdom. I can get a lot of angles on the shots.
It was in the high 70s to low 80s every day we were there. The mornings were cool, though.
See, that's why I like girls! They
want decorations in their rooms. I had to sneak lights on the boys' windows while they were gone.
Great parade pics MeMom.
I love the shot of Stitch. He is always so much fun to watch.
Thanks, Dad! It's always nice to get a thumbs up from one of the masters.
Baby names? Yes we have lots!!! More for a little girl as I am convinced now that we're having a little girl.
Our favourites are:
Boy... Olly Jack XXXXXXX and Toby George XXXXXX (Jack is after Rich's Grandpa, George is after mine). I also LOVE the names Noah, Milo, Oscar & Jacob but Rich is yet to be convinced!
Girl... Olivia Beth Linda XXXXXXXXXX and Jessica Beth Linda XXXXXXX. I also love Alice and Maisy and Rich's favourite girls name is Daisy Beth XXXXX (no Linda) but I don't think it goes with our surname! (Beth is a name we love for a middle name and Linda is Rich's Mum's name so if she's a girl, she gets two middle names bless her!)
Today was a lovely day, in fact our whole weekend was lovely - one of the nicest in ages! Saturday we did the last of our Christmas shopping at a huge shopping centre in a town / city (not sure!) called Reading. We then went over to my sister's and saw her and her family and watched the X-Factor final show together. We cried at the result! Well my sister and I did! I normally watch the final with Mum but she is currently shopping til she drops in Boston!
This morning, we went to a church service at Guildford Cathedral (we live near Guildford in Surrey and I work in the town). I have never been to the Cathedral before and it was lovely - the service was also beautiful. Rich found it a great comfort and felt it was a lovely way to think of his Mum today. Afterwards we went to a local farm shop and stocked up on some Christmas food goodies - then we've spent the afternoon relaxing, watching TV and playing with the cats!
Sorry I rambled a lot there! I am off to read your updates now!!!

I would love to see the inside of that beautiful church.
Is your family begging you to find out what the baby is? I think Olivia is a very pretty name, and I would vote for Noah for a boy. You could give the boy two middle names, too, after the two grandpas. It would be sad to leave one out. Look at how many names princes have - like William Philip Arthur Louis or whatever that one is.
I have returned from shopping and I do not have the Mickey tree.
They were sold out. Maybe next year.
I guess I could drive to
kshafer's house since she has lots there.
I do hope some of you will have better luck!
MeMom The movie we/ Lexi watched was Horton Hears a Who? I will have to watch it another time because I saw maybe 10 mins of it.
We already watched the required Frosty, Rudolph, Grinch and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. And Santa Clause I & II.
We still have many more to watch like Christmas Vacation.
Thanks for all the responses about the party, she was thrilled and she deserved it because she always puts herself last after her DD & DH. (don't we all)
twob4him We are used to the storms, somehow we manage to get to work. I have never had my pipes freeze yet. I didn't loose power either so I can't complain.
I'm off to my work Xmas dinner tonight.
Frozen pipes are no good! My dad always told me to leave the water dripping on extremely cold nights. The plumber says that probably doesn't do a thing to help, that the warmth of the house keeps them from freezing, but I still do it anyway. I've done it for over thirty years. If I missed doing it once now, that would be the one time my pipes would freeze.
How was your work dinner?
What great parade pictures!!! Oh boy, Chad would pass out waiting in line to see Jiminy with a snake in there! He is so scared of snakes!!! He saw the picture and he said to me, "You and Hollie would have fun in there while I waited outside!!" lol!
I figure the ones that are out doing shows are out because of their good behavior. I assume the scarier ones are left in their cages. If any of them ever prove me wrong, then I'll be a little more cautious.
Seriously, if you want one, PM me and I will get one and send it to you.
Such nice Disers we have!
They are finally almost back to normal.
Right now, it looks like 2010 unless I can convince DH to go in the Fall 09 or I might do a trip with my mom in Sept 09 for my bday. Still waiting to see what deals come out for the fall.
A girls trip for your birthday sounds fun!
But then again, so does a fall trip with DH.
And a summer trip with the kids.
And a spring break getaway.
And any other day, week, month, holiday, or reason you can come up with.
They're all fun!
Yea!! I found you!!! 
I followed the bread crumb droppings MeMom left on the "Magic Camel" 
Jill,,Congratulations on the new baby girl!!!!! 
I`ll be back later to catch up! gotta order a pizza!!!
Dropping bread crumbs?
It is
clearly marked on the report that it was started by Brooklynnsmommy.
Which means it's
our report.
Until Erica snatches it away from us!!!
I like ham and pineapple or mushroom.
Papa John's or Pizza Hut.
Thanks for ordering!
MeMom you might just get you another snow day tomorrow??!!??
I'm hoping if it does anything that it will just be bad enough that we won't have to go anywhere 
. I enjoy the snow but I hate having to make that decision or get out there with all the other crazies to slip and slide 
I heard that this afternoon. That would be unreal.
Since we just had a break and are just about to have another one, I'd be happy to space the rest of them throughout January and February. I've gotta talk to Lelan about doing a better job of working this all out right!
So that meant the last couple of days were very busy! Only a few more weeks left. 
Shame on you, I am tramatized for life...I will have trouble getting back to sleep. Now I know how punkin feels when you show a pic of birds. 
Once again I love all of the pictures. 
I was trying to explain some part of Boston to you (which isn't where I live, I only live near it), saying something about, "when you're on the bus to MGM," and I was on a Disney bus going by the Union Oyster House in Boston, and past Fanuiel Hall. Then I was at some weird Epcot/AK crossover, which looked like something that I had dreamt about before, and talking about going on a ride that scared the crap out me before, which doesn't actually exist, but that also happened to be in a dream that I had a while ago!! Really, I think it's top on the list of my most random dreams, and that's saying a lot b/c I have had some doozies.
