[MeMom]

Good job on the snowman, girls.

The Barbies are very cool. What a great gift!

I hope everything works out for that after Thanksgiving trip.

 

[LilAnn]

Hi Ann!! Awww!! I'm glad Lily likes the photos!! I saw your Disney pics on FB (and thanks for the add) and Lily is just PRECIOUS!! Simply adorable!! I'm glad my TR is giving you ideas for planning your trip!

Hi Becky! Thanks for the add! I'm going to have to go back through your TR and some other TRs with pen and paper near me so I can jot down all the new things I want to try with Lily. By the way, since we spent so much time catching up on your TR yesterday, Lily decided she wanted to wear a bow and 2 clips in her hair yesterday when we went out to dinner.

Awww, that snow lady is so cute and so are your girls!

 

[WDWPrincess486]

I just love the snowlady, Becky! The mouse ears and the bow are adorable. The week after Thanksgiving is a great time to go! The weather here is usually still pretty warm and it shouldn't be too busy since most people go home right after Thanksgiving to go back to school, work, etc. I'm just judging this based on how busy the airport is the Sunday after Thanksgiving (when I usually get back to Orlando from NY) and how busy the parks were in general that following weekend...this past year, the weather that weekend was actually on the colder side (and it was rainy, but it's Florida so who knows!) and it was the Christmas parade taping at MK so it was definitely a little crazy there But it won't even matter because it'll be Christmastime at Disney, and the decorations (and of course THE CASTLE!) are just beautiful Looking forward to finding out when you will be here in December, and hoping we could meet up sometime!! Hope you're having a wonderful week, and loving all of your picture updates!

 

[DWGal210]

Yeah, I am back from the long-lost! Work has been busy and it's kept me away, but I wanted to make sure and get back on your PTR!

Those Barbies from India are just wonderful - how precious! And I love your snowman....perfect!

And for getting ready to book your December trip!! That is so great! You will just love it around Christmas time!

 

[leamom2princesses]

The snowlady and barbies are cute Becky!

Oh wow, Andrea!! I didn't realize that he was telling the recruits not to go to class!! That's pretty low! So what do you think of this Dooley guy that they hired?!

Oooh--thanks for the raving review of the mini-Hipster! I might just have to get me one now! I never thought of it saving time during bag check--GREAT idea!!! Oooh--where did you get the coupon code?!

I ordered online with them, and I became a member of "Club Vera." They email out promotions for sales and such. My 20% was expired, though.

Yeah, good riddance, Kiffin. I know VERY little about Derek Dooley. I know he's Vince's son, but that's it. And we all know now that the son of a good coach does not a good coach make! He seems like a good guy, though, which is more than I can say for the last guy. Plus, he's a lawyer. Our players NEED lawyers.

I just had to share the snowlady that Ally and I made together this past week. It was a family project for school--we had to create a snowman using items around our house. This is what we came up with!!

Ally's teacher LOVED it!! She even sent me a special e-mail telling me how cute it was!!

As most of you know Brent was in India for 9 days for work and finally came home Saturday night!! One of his employees who lives in India sent these special gifts home with him for the girls!! Indian Barbies!! The girls were THRILLED with their gifts!!

The Barbies are sooo beautiful!!

And I'm not sure if I officially announced this yet here on my PTR (I know I've discussed it) but we are planning a 2nd trip to WDW this year in December to see all of the Christmas festivities!! We have not booked the trip yet but we are looking at going the week after Thanksgiving!! So not only will I be discussing plans for May here on my PTR but also plans for December!!! We cannot WAIT!!!!

Great post! The snowlady is FANTASTIC! When my girls start doing school projects, I may have to come to you for creative inspiration!

Those Indian Barbies are so awesome! What great keepsakes!

Yay for a December trip! Looks like we might just miss you, though. A day or two at the end of your trip *might* overlap with ours. We will be there December 3-12.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Wow, those Barbie's are so pretty! What a great gift for your little girls!

Great job on the snowlady, very creative

 

[mommytothreeboys]

Good morning Becky!

The Barbies are gorgeous! How lucky your girls are to get such a unique gift!

Very cute snow-Minnie! We have to help Jonah build a model igloo by February 22nd...any clever ideas?

You are so blessed to be able to go twice in a year. Disney at Christmas will be like a dream!

 

[mousescrapper]

That's right, Michelle!! Yes!! We're going in May and then again in December!! We just haven't booked the December trip yet b/c we need to decide on the dates! We're looking at the week after Thanksgiving!

first the barbies and your Minnie inspired snowlady is just so cute...

are the barbies coming out to play or will you keepsake them in the boxes?

and then 2nd if you come down right at the end of Thanksgiving weekend we may pass each other...we leave on the 28th which is the Sunday after thanksgiving.

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

That snowlady is so cute! Love the disney touches and her bow! How adorable.
And for two trips in one year! I would love to be planning two trips - I bet you're having a blast preparing.
Do your girls know yet that they are going back in December?

 

[ladybugmom]

You are so creative -- that snowlady is adorable!

The Indian Barbies are awesome!!! So pretty!!! I collect Barbies so I started drooling when I saw them!

Awww! Thanks Jackie!!

Good job on the snowman, girls.

The Barbies are very cool. What a great gift!

Thank you so much!!

Oh--good idea!! I should be doing that with all of the December TRs I'm reading right now--thanks for the reminder!! Awww--how cute!! I'm glad Lily wanted to wear her bows and clips!! I think girls look so precious in bows!

Awww, that snow lady is so cute and so are your girls!

Thank you!!

Hi Katie!! I've been missing you here on the DIS! Thank you for the kind words!!!

The snowlady and barbies are cute Becky!

Oooh--thanks Andrea! I need to look into that Club Vera!! I'm on all the lists for my local store--just not online!

I don't know much about this Dooley guy either other than what you already stated! I guess we'll see how he does come September!

Thank you for the sweet words! Our trip should overlap yours!!

Thank you Julie! Yes, the Barbies came out of the box soon after the pictures were taken. The girls wanted to play with them so badly!!

Oooh--our trips might overlap!! How exciting!!

That snowlady is so cute! Love the disney touches and her bow! How adorable.

Do your girls know yet that they are going back in December?

Thank you!! Yes, I'm really enjoying reading all about Christmas at Disney!! And yes, my girls do know that we're going back in December! I just couldn't keep it a secret!!!

 

[klacey1]

Love the Disney snowman, Becky!! Also, how sweet of the employee to send the girls those beautiful Barbies! Their outfits are so detailed.
So glad that your December trip is a definite! Always wanted to see the World all dressed up for Christmas-- will it just be your family for the second trip or will your parents/brother join you again??

Thank you Kylie!! It will be just the 4 of us in December. That's the way we usually do our vacations. My parents and my brother enjoy traveling to different countries and not to WDW all the time like us!! Different strokes for different folks, right?!

 

[ReneeDisney]

HI! Subscribing... I read your previous trip report and enjoyed it! Looking forward to reading about your trip and seeing the beautiful outfits your princesses are wearing!! We'll be at the Poly in two weeks... looking forward to the lovely site of palm trees swaying in the wind!!!

 

[Sweet Pea UK]

Hey Becky, just catching up. I can't believe you are going again in December - how lucky is that!! Have you decided on a resort yet? We usually go in November so have seen the Christmas Decs on a number of occasions -they are fantastic! The castle itself will take your breath away. You must pop by the GF and see their tree and the Gingerbread house - amazing! Also try and do MVMCP - we went in 2007 and loved it!

 

[Happy Elf]

Your snowlady is adorable!

I bet the girls are loving those Barbies. They are cool.

Hope everything works out for your December trip. 2 trips in one year would be great!

 

[aharbin88]

...looking forward to the lovely site of palm trees swaying in the wind!!!

Ah, what a wonderful mental picture.....
Your DD is adorable in your sig line! Love that outfit she's got on! Do you sew those yourself? We like to discuss customs, so if you have a good place to find some, please share!

Becky- Are you watching the game? I am, and it made me think of you, so I had to come post. So far, we're not looking looking pretty. Certainly not like the #8 team in the nation. Regardless, I still wish Bruce Pearl could coach basketball AND football!
