Happiest place on Earth

Last week we spent some time at the "Happiest Place on Earth". We had so much fun surprising the kids. They didn't even know we were going on a trip. As far as they knew we were headed out to dinner and we somehow ended at the airport. (They have food there too!) Riley was thrilled the next day when she realized that we were at Disney World. It took a while for reality to sink in though.

A "Goofy" family
Riley with her favorite, Ariel......it only took an hour in line to meet her.

Tower of Terror

Oh no, it's broken?!

Toy Story Mania, a fun new 3-D game. You have to go get a fast pass as soon as you get there. Even then you are waiting a couple hours before you can use it. By 10:30 they are already passing out fast passes for 6pm! Crazy, but worth the wait. We all loved the ride. Riley was asking to go again and again.

Garrett could barley wait till the kids in front of us were done. He ran right up and gave Pluto and Goofy huge hugs. Riley of course was not nervous at all either!

Riley was excited to meet another favorite princess. We waited for a bit to meet Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Belle.

I don't think Garrett minded too much either. They were all goo goo over my little man.

What a face. He was covered with kisses!!!

Before going to meet the princesses, Scott and I took Riley on the Goofy roller coaster. She was so happy to be even taller than the required 35 inches. She loved the ride and it is apparent from her face. Enjoy!

I'm thirsty....

After a long day of getting ready for Christmas really works up a thirst apparently. We had just gotten home from shopping, and I went right to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Garrett went right up the stairs and disappeared. I kept calling his name but he never came and I couldn't hear a noise. After about 5 min of calling I went up to try and find him. I was about to go in the play room but saw Riley's bathroom light on. So I went there thinking he was probably loading the toilet with toilet paper. (a fun game actually) This is what I found instead!!! I had to turn and leave to go get the camera before I lost it. It was so hard to keep a straight face once he knew he was busted!!

Now from his point of view.....

"Oh, hi Mom....."

"Ummmm....hmmm"

"I'm cute right?!"

"See it was funny!"

Seriously how can you get made at a face like that!!!

Tommy's Tumble

While at Gpa and Gma Bawden's house for Christmas Tommy decided he wanted to go outside and play in the snow. He was dressed head to toe in hand-me-downs from his older brothers but we had no gloves for the little tike. I told him to keep his hands warm by putting them in his pockets. He is quite the obedient child and did just what I asked. He said that he wanted to try Sammy's snowboard... which he did twice. Both times he kept his hands in his pockets all the way down. Enjoy!
