WOW! What an update!!! It looks like the month of December was not only busy, but it looks like it was great family fun!

Hey! I finally made it over here! I haven't looked at all your December pictures yet, but the rest of your pictures are great! I love all your daughters' outfits. How fun that you've decided to go twice in 2010. I can't wait until we can go at Christmastime! Our trip last year (2009) was the week after you guys were there....we heard all about the rain from several Cast Members. I'll probably read your TR from last year, but I've got some catching up to do on PTRs first!

Oh my gosh, how cute!
I'm at the library so I could really only look at the P & F pictures. The event looks so cute. How nice of the disney store to do that! I'm finally taking the girls to see the movie later today.

Wow, you weren't kidding, that was a mega update!

I looked up "The Elf on the Shelf" and it seems like such a cute idea! I think this is the cutest picture: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?a...id=1035906284&l=9d9e05406b&fbid=1297550112271

I loved seeing the girls dance pictures. I always wanted to dance when I was younger but it just never worked out. The closest I will ever get now is our "Dancing with the Stars" DVD!

The Princess and the Frog event seemed like a lot of fun! Did your family enjoy the movie? My friends and I are hoping to see it this week or next, before all my friends leave! (Two are doing the college program in Disney, and one is studying abroad in England!)

Those gingerbread houses were great! My roommate and I tried to make one of those boxed houses for Halloween. For our disastrous results, see here: http://www.facebook.com/#/photo.php?pid=2853988&id=608588735 and http://www.facebook.com/#/photo.php?pid=2853985&id=608588735&fbid=160798323735

Ally's Star of the Week poster was so fun. I don't recall having anything like that when I was in kindergarten! I also really like the compliment card-so nice to see kids writing nice things about each other!

Ally and Claire both seemed to really enjoy all their gifts. Claire's Minnie Mouse apron set was too cute. The Princess figurines you got were gorgeous! How do you like your Uggs? I got fake ones about a month ago and they are so comfortable and warm! I loved all Ally's American Gifts-I was obsessed with them when I was younger. Samantha was my favorite; I don't know if they retired her? The girls' princess costumes were awesome. I'm so jealous of the Belle Christmas one. Glad to see you had such a great Chrsitmas!

Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed the pics!! We LOVED the Princess and the Frog movie!! I cannot WAIT until it comes put on DVD!!! For some reason I could not view your FB pics?! I haven't had a chance to try my Uggs yet--but I'll let you know when I do!! Yeah--I was a bit older when AG dolls came out but I always wanted one--so now I live vicariously through my girls! Yes, Samantha was retired last year--Ally got her last Christmas! Did you hear that Kirsten is being retired this year?

You had so much fun in the month of December!!! Are you tired yet?

We did, Jackie!! And I am sooo thankful that I'm able to relax now!! It was a pretty exhausting month!!

Love the updates!!!
I got the same ornament for Isabella that you got for Ally!
Happy New Year!!

Thanks!! Don't you just LOVE those Precious Moments Disney ornaments?! Sooo cute!!

WOW! What an update!!! It looks like the month of December was not only busy, but it looks like it was great family fun!

We had a lot of family fun, Megan!!

YAY!!! Glad you made it over!! Yes, the rain was absolutely insane! We're praying for MUCH better weather this year!

Oh my gosh, how cute!

Thanks Barbara!! The event was a lot of fun! This was our first time to participate in a Disney Store event! I hope ya'll LOVE the movie!! Let me know what you thought of it!

We did the Elf on the Shelf this year too. It was a huge hit. Bella named ours Frizzie. She loved looking for him every morning! On Christmas morning, he left her a note that said he would miss her and see her next year along with a small present. She thought it was really neat! It's a great tradition to start with young kids!

How cute--Frizzie!! What a cute idea to have him leave a note and a small present!! I need to remember that for next year!

Hi Becky,

Thanks for sharing all the great pictures! I do not blame you for not wanting to upload all those pictures again into photobucket! It looks like you have had a very blessed holiday season thus far.

The figurines are gorgeous! Love all the other Disney things too.

Thanks Julie!! I'm VERY excited about the D23 membership!! I'm waiting to hear back from disneystore.com because I'm having issues ordering the exclusive D23 items online. My hubby bought a gift membership for me and I can't seem to add it to my current account! Uggh!

Here's what the house should have looked like:

Here's what it did look like:

There was a slight issue with the frosting and then it all fell apart...

Oh my gosh, your December was as crazy as mine, I think! But I love it that way. The Princess and the Frog event looked really cool. I'm so bummed that they closed all the St Louis Disney stores. We just saw the movie last week and absolutely loved it. My husband loved the New Orleans music. Tres cool!
