Disneyworld!

A few weeks ago we all took a trip to Florida so Terry could attend a conference. Terry's good friend Leon and his family went down to the conference as well. This was the first time that I had met his wife Julie and their three children, Amariah (11), Trejan (9) and Alyviah (2). Luckily we all developed very fast friendships and we were so happy that we were able to enjoy our Disney experience with this very fun family! As you'll be able to see from the pictures, Breezy and Alyviah became best friends from the very beginning! And Amariah and Trey were the most respectful, well behaved kids that I have ever met! It was so nice having older kids along to help us keep track of the little ones! The first day that the guys were at the conference we met Jen Stolen (my cousin) at Downtown Disney. The next day Julie and I took all the kids to Disneyworld! It was great that Jen was able to spend the day with us there as well! We survived tackling two of the parks by ourselves with the kids! It was a bit chilly both days, but the kids did great! On Saturday, Terry and Leon were able to join us. We went to Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Magic Kingdom!! It was definitely a very long day...but definitely worth it! Breezy had a great time!! It was so fun to see her walk around and take everything in! It was great to be able to show our little princess the magic world of Disney!

Kisses for her new best friend!

This is one of my favorite pictures from the trip! We were waiting to get on the ferry boat. I love the Sassy Divas!!

Auntie Jen and Breezy....too cool for school!

Sharing popcorn in front of the castle

Introducing Miss Sassy Princess!!

Now a very tired Princess :(

Love this! They were having so much fun together waiting to see the princesses!

The pictures turned out pretty cute considering that she was basically in tears before every picture (a lack of nap combined with being nervous sitting next to the princesses!)

With Princess Belle in their matching dresses!

Sooo tired, but so cute!

Auntie Jen not wanting her picture taken!! :)

Catching a ride on top of the stroller! (Mama's back couldn't take any more!)

So pretty!

All bundled up waiting for the light parade

Waiting for the bus

Waiting for the Finding Nemo show to begin!

This show was so amazing (probably my favorite part). It was definitely Broadway caliber!

Julie and the kids before we went on the Mt. Everest roller coaster!

Amariah and I after the ride ended! :)

A nice alternative to carrying her around the park!

Love this picture! Can't believe the little girls were smiling this close to the characters!

Waiting in line....

At the huge aquarium after watching the Finding Nemo show.

Can't believe how HUGE that turtle was!!

Enjoying Epcot!

This is my favorite picture!! I think it is just priceless! The girls had such an amazing friendship and you can definitely see it in this picture!

Christmas and New Years

I apologize ahead of time for just posting all of these pictures without making comments on each of them (and for not putting them in order)!! I have sooo many pictures to blog, that it would take me forever to explain each one. In an attempt to catch up, I am going to just say that we had an amazing time in Wisconsin for X-mas and New Years! Breezy and I were there for 3 weeks! We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends!
