Thanks Meghan! He really IS a great Santa! He's new this year. I was kind of sad b/c we've had pics with the same Santa every year since Ally was born. I heard he retired this year. He was great, too! Oh well--it just messes up my sense of order!! Hee hee!!Yes, our carousel has lots of animals--we have a cat that has a fish in its mouth!!
Anytime!! Let me know if I could find out anything for you (DIS is such a wealth of helpful information, but I meant firsthand and almost instantly (the nearest weekend) like what lines are like for something or what's in stores or if you'd like any pictures of anything, etc.) at the parks and I'll try my best
Frankie and I are huge Disney fans and love going there as often as we can, even if just to walk around and explore.
In the meantime, how is planning coming along for your trip in May? Getting sooo close!!!
I wish we lived close enough to WDW that we could just go and walk around--maybe someday!! Things are going well in terms of planning for May. I feel that I don't have a whole lot to do right now since ADRs are made. I don't want to order outfits too far in advance in case my girls decide to grow on me!! 
Thanks so much!! I can't believe how close Christmas is!! I'm nowhere near done with my shopping. Ally wants the American Girl doll Kit, Kit's dog Grace, Kit's pajamas, a Snow White Costume, Belle's Holiday dress, and the Tiana doll set. Claire is kind of young to tell me what she wants for Christmas so she is getting several of the Disney figurine sets, Mulan costume, Pochahontas costume, the crib her for Bitty Baby, a Bitty Baby stroller, etc.
may have to do two outfits 
Great job on the bow!! it is really cute!
the santa pics are adorable. I love the one of Claire chatting it up!!! fun fun!
can't wait to take Ashton to see Santa, I still need to get him an outfit...it is snowing here so Christmas day will probably be hot and humid again this year, so, just don't know what to buy
Have a great evening!
Poor things, I think they are waiting for it to be like last year (we had a fluke 12" at our house--most of the surrounding areas has 3" - 9" but it stalled over about a 5-7mi area). I'm sitting here with Gwendolyn & Joe watching it in the outside lights; its so peacful and beautiful...should be gone by morning so Ashton is going to miss it(I hope it sticks around just long enough to get a picture of him in it). Dayne (remember he is 17) is across the street with friends, so those crazy kids are probably playing in it and will be sick by Monday (for schoolThank Connie!! It's snowing in Louisiana?! Now way!!! I bet the kids are LOVING it!!
