Did you pull a Donald Duck?!?!?!

but did you notice that he always puts a towel around him when he gets out of the bath, but leaves it open for the viewing when he is wearing just his shirt.

Hi Marv!
Great update. The castle show looks so cute & so do all of the Christmas decorations.
I love your ornaments that your bought.
Your last picture with the boys jumping is my favorite. I can't wait to see your jumping picture!

Marv jumps? I hope he is wearing more than just his "Donald Duck" look when he does.

 

[Poolrat]

Oh, Pat, that was a really good one.

Oh dear, I hope not! No offense Marv...

OH BOY.... Marv dug himself a hole on that one Maybe in more ways than one

It would be a good way to clear the Christmas crowds away!

That is one of the funniest things I think I have ever read on the boards.

And we are glad you are here!!!!!

Marv's away we GALS can play!!!

Payback is sooooooooooooooo sweet.

It would be a good way to clear the Christmas crowds away!

You have a very good point.

That is one of the funniest things I think I have ever read on the boards.

I thought so too when I read it.

Marv! You'd better get your feathers back here quick!!! Things have gone to the birds here!

Good one, Liesa. Feathers/Birds/Donald Duck.

Translated he has to think of come backs and needs a good nights rest to be on top of the game !!!

sooooo I see you causing trouble elsewhere......

 

[KatMark]

Translated he has to think of come backs and needs a good nights rest to be on top of the game !!!

I think it means at least two nights rest!

sooooo I see you causing trouble elsewhere......

He's causing trouble everywhere!

Woodn;t be our Marv any other way

Great update Marvie! Though I can tell I did horribly in the contest. Poo!
Thanks! And I was in a good mood when I graded them, so there might at least be some bonus points in there for you!
I love the pics the boys took of the castle show! Gorgeous!
With a little help from Edit in Photobucket, they ended up with some pretty good stuff.
Aww, how sweet are you to go foraging for food for Ali! Maybe you're not such a bad guy after all.
Oh, don't be spreading THAT nasty rumor.....
Those Mickey baby ornaments are too precious! I'm sure your nephew and his wife will love them for their babies. What a sweet thought.
We have First Christmas ornaments for all of our boys and they still mean so much! I hope they get as much joy over the years.
Nice stash of FP's too!

Hey, I didn't know your boys were in the parade!
I try not to reveal ALL our family secrets....
This shot is awesome! I love it!

Thanks! It took a couple of tries but I liked the way that one came out! One of my favorites also.

Great update, Marv. I love the pictures that Andrew and Jonathan took while you were off getting Alison something to eat (they did a GREAT job). The Mickey ornaments are too darn cute.
Thanks! Yes they did a pretty good job so it was easy to crop and clean them up once I got them on Photobucket. Our camera is good enough you can zoom in on the important stuff and it still looks pretty good.
Nice wrestling sweatshirt.
I KNEW you would like that part!
I love this last photo.

I may skip your next update...you know my feelings on WL and WCC.

Oh come on!!! That was part of the trip I did JUST for you!

Great update Marv ,the pix are really colorful and sharp!!!

Thanks Rosie! Lots more pics to come!

now that is a cool pic.

and great mid air face.


mmm WCC hope you got the skillet.

Thanks! Yes, love the expressions! As for the skillet, is that one of your guesses for the next round of the contest???

wonder if you could have hopped over to the stand by line even though you were in the FP line, since you were still before the FP spot where they take your ticket.

We gave it some serious consideration.......

 

[marvali]

Love the thumbs up salute!!! Thanks Marv!

Argh I haven't been able to post much on here lately. I've been more of a lurker. I'm all caught up now! Sounds like a busy day at MK. Don't think I ever saw that Celebrate the Season show. Looks pretty cool. I miss all the Christmas decorations. Hopefully I can get a trip planned for November this year!

Glad you liked it! Might be another salute for you later in the trip! And Hope you can get that trip planned. It is one of many great times to be at Disney!

That really was sweet of you to go get Ali something to eat.
I'm like that. (just don't ask her to confirm....)
Loved the picture of you sons after the parade and the action shot in front of the train station.

You're doing really good with the holiday decoration pictures too.

Great purchases in the Christmas store. Stopping in here in a must for me.

Thanks! It tried to focus this trip on fun, family and the special way Disney helps you celebrate Christmas and the holidays!

After an almost week long hiatus from the Boards, I am back. Contain yourself.
I'm just plain giddy with excitement!
And looky, just in time for an update! Woot!

Good call on the 3 dinners! Except, I think you're going to regret it as a repeat a little later as far as the fare goes. But you're right... LOTS of food on those suckers.
Hmmm, whatever could you mean by that???
DOH! on the empty Stand by line! That would have been irritating. Efficient touring is good touring.
True dat!
Well, I should have known you'd shop in the Christmas shoppe, with an "e", but I did guess that you had your packages sent.

Good on the boys for taking up photo duties. YOu've taught them well.

The even asked for the camera when they knew I was leaving to find food....

D'oh! on the Space Mountain standby line. Oh well. Not riding it would have been worse.
Worked out okay in the end!
So you walked all the way to Pecos Bill's, ordered and received food, and walked all the way back to the castle before show finished? Does this mean you're a fast walker or the show is too long?
I made the trip pretty quick! I walk rather fast when I'm on a mission. I actually left before it got started and made it back just at the end. It got pretty good reviews from the family, so I wouldn't say it was too long.
Glad to see the boys getting in the spirit of the pictures!

They really enjoyed this trip most of the time (three brothers, in their own room......)
