but this last trip I was on in Dec. I was on a mission. I took a poll from my daughters of their top 3 favorite characters and top 3 rides, for a christmas present. But they all made it home safely.
In the cup, I put 5 packets of hot chocolate and 5 Disney napkins, and told them they could have a little bit of Disney while they enjoy their chocolate.
. The Grandkids got their dino's they picked out from the Build a Dino website, which I thought they would forget about and I could put them under the tree for Christmas but no way, as soon as we got in the car I hear " HI, Grandma, we missed you, did you get our Dino's ?"
So they got Christmas 5 days early. lol. Come my Oct. trip I will have a new little one to Disney spoil
That was a good idea for presents. I kind of did the same with Drew. He got a mug and a variety pack of hot chocolate in little tins. He's only got a little left in his last tin, I noticed. They had Disney characters, so being the Disney dork that I am, I've been cleaning out the cans and saving them as he's finished them.
You're such a nice Grandma. Congratulations on your newest addition, too!
All of your window shopping pictures are helping me to create a list for our upcoming trip.
I think it's so much easier to go in with a gameplan of what you to want buy (at least knowing you want an ornament and a coffee mug for example - not the exact one) instead of just looking around trying to decide - at least for me anyway!
"Can you dig it?" Reminds me of
Bedtime Stories, which we just saw yesterday.
Glad to help with your shopping needs.
What did you think of
Bedtime Stories?
I hope you have lots of fun with your three little girls this weekend.
Thank you so much for your positive outlook on life. It really is great to be able to laugh, share, tease and voice our concerns with one another. I think that is why Disney and the DIS is such a wonderful place. It helps us to escape the reality of the real world for a little bit( OK, A lot bit
) each day. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Yeah, I think I'm going to have to go with a 'lotta bit', too. Guilty here, for sure!
The girls and I are going by to see some friends and then probably to the
Disney Store.
More great shopping pictures. I'm going to be so sad if I can't find some of this stuff when I am down there.
You'll find it. There were lots of repeats in stores all over.
Pooksma was home in the morning. Both their school swere closed but she was suppose to be working at the Department so she went in later. Declan stayed with his grandparents. You have to love it when they live around the corner.
My lunch was a mixed bag so I do really need more food pictures.
I would love to live around the corner from my grandkids. Jill is always after us to move down there.
Chef Mickey's pictures are coming soon.
Well the toy pictures were great!
I can see you playing remote control alien.
The elusive MeMom picture.
You have to pay close attention to the shopping pictures. Occasionally there is a reflection in the window.
Maybe BrooklynsMommy has a MeMom action shot???
I think there was some action at DHS awhile ago. 
My, my, aren't we so funny?
Today must have been Funny Friday for you!
Even funnier than the 'action' was Jill's reenactment of the action!
Have a fantastic Friday and a super Saturday with your girls.
I did, and I hope to.
Happy Friday Memom! Hope you have a great weekend. I got today off again as our driveway drifted shut and it took DH almost 2 hrs to dig out his truck (he thought he could make it through since he was 4 whl drive but NOPE!!) so we just decided to stay home since where we work had really bad road conditions.
We had a three day work week (but paid for all week) and a 3 day weekend. Why can't every week be like that
Sounds like a deal to me!
Memom,
Thanks for the encouraging words, they helped me today. We have a man in our church congregation who we are very close to find out that his lung cancer is back. He already had one lung removed a year and a half ago so there isn't much doctors can do for him. He and his wife are really close and it is so hard to see them suffering.
I love the pictures of Brooklynn with her mom and dad. They all look they have the same feeling I have when I'm at Disney, pure happiness. Thanks for sharing your family and trip, I really enjoy it.
I'm sorry about your friend. Cancer is an ugly thing. I'll keep them in my prayers.
I love all the shopping pictures.
I really like the pluto stocking, Pluto looks cute with antlers and a red nose.
The tree with the toys is cute! I see Monkeys from the barrell and Mr. Potato Head.
Great family photos with the Carolers.
I love all the pictures but I also love hearing what you have to say.
The thoughts you share about life, which are often serious, and the cute little comments between the photos, which are often silly. You come up with a good balance.
And Have lots of fun with Brooklyn during her visit!
And Have a great weekend, have lots of fun with Brooklynn!
Thanks. I'm glad I have people to share thoughts with, and I'm glad my silliness hasn't run you off...yet.
Will do!
Oh my lord, you should see our bathtime. We have this tote right by the bathtub that holds all his toys. Well..after I get him undressed, he has to put ALL the toys in.
He has a ton of duckies so he'll line those all up along the ledge of the bathtub.
Does he have the Disney ducks? Brooklynn has a few of them.
MeMom and Jill- I was at Target today and in the dollar bins they had tons of Monsters Inc stuff- stickers, notebooks, snack containers, markers, etc... super cute! I thought of Brooklynn!
I think Jill has been to Target recently, so I bet she got some.
Those were very sweet pics with Meeko. Dodger was almost named that, but I went with Dodger from Oliver and Co.
WE CAN DIG IT!!!!
Have a wonderful and fun weekend girls!!!
Dodger is a cute name.
You have a good weekend, too!
(sorry Declansdad!) And what a sweet picture of the family in the Happy Holidays set-up at DTD! I can't believe I missed the remote control alien! I love the aliens! I'll have to make a mental note to look for him on the next trip!
