Wow.....what a whirlwind weekend in Disney!! 4 parks in 2 days and we visited Magic Kingdom 3 times in those 2 days so that we could see the firework show each night! Sunday we spent the day at Downtown Disney until we caught our flight back to Atlanta! We didn't spare one single minute in Disney. We started each day by
leaving the hotel at 6:45am and arriving back close to midnight! These kiddos were EXHAUSTED but great little troopers!! No melt downs at all in the parks which for an almost 2 year old who likes to sleep about 14 hrs a day and a 5 year old i have to say that in itself was an amazing accomplishment!! Not to say we didn't have melt downs back at the hotel rooms but that was mainly due to lack of sleep so i fully understand that was my fault! It was soooo worth it though and i can't wait to go back again, hopefully soon!

Mater bed!!!! The entire room was Car's Themed from the Movie :-) Haley told us the night before she couldn't sleep in this bed because it was a "boys" bed and then she glanced around the room and said "hey.....this is a boys room!" We promised her a good surprise for the next night if she just went to sleep as it was midnight. Which was an "Ariel" room!!! She LOVED it!! She said "what.....we are staying in Ariel World?!?!" There were 3 buildings all decked out with Little Mermaid theme items including a Flipping Fins pool just for that section! She was excited that she got to take a bubble bath in Ariel's bath tub too :-) |

Noah's FIRST plane ride!!!! He did GREAT!! It couldn't have gone more smoothly! With a quick visit to the Dr. the day before our flight Noah started stronger antibiotics for strep throat and then ear drops as well for his left ear. Despite all that he was a trooper and you'd never know he had ear issues. Here's a video from the trip home. Haley was our usual frequent flyer and flew like it was her 100th time! She did get to have her very first piece of gum to help pop her ears after the flight home. I always said she had to wait till she was five! |

Ready to go to Magic Kingdom SUPER early Friday morning!

| He sure loves his Mickey hat :-) Thanks Ma & John!!! |
 |
| So much fun with Mimi and Grandpa! |
 |
Noah's got the gene too....he's gotta have his Mickey with him at all times!!!
His 2nd one got really wet so it's drying in this picture. |
 |
| Noah's first ride in Disney World....It's a Small World...loved it! |
 |
| Buzz Light Year....he hated it and wouldn't let Clayton fire his gun |
 |
| Haley's favorite ride this year - Goofy's Barnstormer roller coaster! She even got Mimi, Grandma and Grandpa to ride this with her! It's a fast but short mine train ride. Her very first time on it this vacation we got the front car so Mimi sat right behind us :-). Grandma and Haley on the tea cups too! |
 |
| Haley and Daddy on Dumbo! She was so excited because she finally got the pink and purple one! |
 |
| Papa and Noah at Magic Kingdom! Both sporting their Mickey hats ;-) |
 Happy Birthday Grandma & Haley!! Who wouldn't want to celebrate with Mickey!?!
Ariel & Haley at breakfast in Epcot! Happy Birthday Princess!! We love you!
 3 generations ;-) Noah was sleeping in the stroller so he missed the photo op. I got a picture of Noah and Daddy earlier that morning though.... Mr. Cool :-)
Baby Lucy got to make the trip all the way to Disney World too! 
 1 of the 15 shuttle bus rides! Our family was a pro at this by the time we left! Grandma had her wheel chair and scooter for the parks due to her bad hips but even the kids enjoyed this ride/toy! The Happy Couple ;-)
 Love our family more than anything in the world! God has blessed us so much!!!
 We FINALLY found Minnie Mouse in Animal Kingdom!! Poor Haley...all she wanted was to see Minnie and she even said "she must be hiding from me!" We found her though....she was trucking through the forest...lol.
 |
| Haley's first trip to Disney World when she was only 2yrs old! She had Minnie Mouse in almost everyone one of her pictures. |
 |
| Noah's got that same gene....Mickey had to be with him almost the entire time! |
I am so bummed that our trip came and went soooo quickly but we have so many memories from the trip and I can't wait till we go back!!
Below are pictures from Haley & Noah's Halloween Parade at school! Haley was so excited that Mimi and I were there today and she loved showing everyone her costume. Poor Noah was a bit confused as to why he was walking all around the school with all these people looking at him. I only saw him for a few seconds but then he started crying for me :-( I felt so bad for him since he knew he saw me there but he didn't get to stop and give me a hug and he wasn't coming home. It was well worth going though and i hate that i have missed Haley's in previous years. Thankfully Papa made it to see it last year!
Last Friday the kids were able to come to our office for the Annual Trick or Treating event. This is by far the best way to trick or treat as the kids literally have to take 2 steps to the next desk and they get another piece of candy. We were there for 1 hour and left with a full grocery bag of candy. Amazing how much candy they could really get if they even tried a little!
