Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party

Last night we went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party with my sister Cathy and niece Lorren....


Seriously, we're related...sigh...

And my parents...

My Mom's shirt was a light up shirt, again soooooo not kidding. And Scott's parents whom I do not have a photo of, what the crap....

First thing we went to Liberty Tree Tavern for dinner with everyone before the actual party started. We got off to a rough start with Miss Jill, she was not having it. She did finally settle down and it worked out for the best because we didn't use her high chair and got to have some extra elbow room. Aaron also had his first taste of ice cream, and naturally loved it.




After dinner we went on Pirates of the Caribbean which Aaron has never actually seen. He always falls asleep before we even get on the boat. It was awesome to see his face on the ride, it was like he was thinking "When did this get here?!"

After the ride we found some seats for the parade and waited it out for 30 minutes...



Aaron went bananas the second he saw the parade coming down the street and Jill was bouncing along to the music in my lap. Some of the floats even sprayed scents, like peppermint and gingerbread which was neat. Made me want a cookie, but neat :) I'm putting a video that Scott took of the parade, be warned it's like 23 minutes long, but soooo cute!






After the parade we went on Small World and then went to see the fireworks. The kids were starting to fade by this point so I knew this was going to be the last thing we would get to do. Both kids loved the fireworks and Jill even commented for 90% of the time.



By the time the fireworks were finished and we made it to the end of Main Street Jill was out cold.

It was a great night full of fun times with the whole family! Hope you are having a great start to the weekend!

Thanksgiving Thursday

>>

Usually I say I can't believe it's been a week already, but this week, yeah it seems like it's been a week. Nonetheless this week I am thankful for...

  • The magical powers of Tylenol. The kiddos are teething right now (one front tooth and a molar) and the Tylenol is just making it bearable. Luckily this round hasn't required any orajel yet, so that's always good.
  • The construction next door looking like it's almost finished. Fingers crossed
  • Aaron being so even tempered and that he doesn't beat the ever living out of his sister. I am waiting for it though.
  • Jill's love of books. I hope this one continues forever! She has a definite favorite and she will bring it over to me to read to her at least 2-3 times a day. She's actually walking around with it right now.
  • Scott letting me sleep in this morning. That 45 minutes made all the difference in the world!
  • Morgan being a very tolerant puppy. The kids are fascinated with her! Jill says and signs dog, and Aaron is now signing dog (not the right way, but close enough). They both run around patting their legs looking for Morgan, and if she's close enough they pet her. As long as they don't touch her feet Morgan will let them pet her as long as they want.
  • The place mats I got from La Plates yesterday! We did a giveaway with them at the Multiples blog and Aaron and Jill were lucky enough to get a set as well! They are so stinking cute! I almost don't want them to eat off them ever.
  • The glass not breaking from the picture that fell off the wall (see Mom always said.... for more details).
  • My kids liking the table and chairs they have so much that they need to take the chairs everywhere with them. Apparently they make great carts, who knew?
  • All the grandparents coming with us to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party in December. I love Christmas at Disney, they always get it right, and the Christmas Party is just so stinking cute, I can't wait to see how the kids react!
  • Scott officially becoming a Knight (Knights of Columbus) this Saturday. It is a huge honor and we are so proud of him!
That list was a lot longer than I thought it would be, which is always good! Play along with Nicole at What a Trip!
