Day 3-Church and Mickey's Halloween Party

Sunday morning we woke up and went to church. I was so excited, because my best friend and her husband came over to go to church with us so we could visit! Laura is pregnant with twins too and I was so excited to see her little growing belly! We have been best friends since we were 2 and still are!! I am so blessed with her friendship!

Best friends forever!

After church we went to the T-Rex restaurant in downtown Disney. The boys love dinosuars and were all about the restaurant!

Pretty girl after church!

The boys loved Matt! He got lots of practice! 

After lunch, it was naptime back at the hotel. My parents arrived today! We were so excited to see Nana and Papa! That evening we went to Mickey's Not-So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom to trick-or-treat. It was fun, a little muggy and Shepherd got sick because he got too hot, but we didn't let it slow us down! (too much...)

Ready for the Halloween Party!

 
 Trick or treating was a lot of fun!!

Stopping to play a little while! This is where Shep got sick and all the hot costumes came off!

Ready for the parade!!

Sophie loved all the characters!! Who could resist coming over to that sweet face!

Star of the show!

 There were a few scary looking people for Spence. Shep loved every minute of it!

They were thrilled when Chip came over in the parade to see them!!!

Day 1 and 2

The kids did amazing on the trip to Disney. It was by far the most wonderful vacation we have been on! We have been home a month now, and can't belivee I have not posted about it yet.

This were their leaving to Disney surprise! Filled with Mickey ears, Disney books, and new Disney cups!

We left home at 5 and made it to Orlando around 3. The kids did great on the drive, but didn't nap much. Of course they all 3 fell asleep 30 mins before they got there.

All were still asleep when we saw the disney sign and I couldn't scream! We were so excited to be there!

On our bed at the Polynesian

Once we checked in, we rode the monorail to Epcot for a couple of hours. The boys LOVED the monorail and still talk about it. Epcot was the first time of meeting Mickey and it was a magical Experience! 

       

                            

                                Elation at meeting Mickey for the first time

Mickey waffles were a hit!

Sophie gave all characters kisses on their nose!

Saturday we woke up and had a character breakfast at Ohana at our hotel. We loved the characters and the MICKEY waffles!

Sophie loved all the music and danced and danced!

 Pluto was amazing and stayed at our table for over 5 mins. The manager was trying to hurry him a long, but I think he loved being at our table, because he would not leave. The boys loved it! New favorite character= Pluto

                            

                              Loved our breakfast at Ohana! Off to Magic Kingdom!

We rode the ferry from our hotel to the Magic Kingdom. I loved watching their faces as "Mickey's Castle" came into view!

Walking into Magic Kingdom  with my 3 kids the first time is something I will never forget.

 They were so excited to see "Mickey's" castle. 

We rode Dumbo so many times on this trip!

Taking a break for the People Mover ride! Love the castle in the background!

        The boys loved driving the race cars!











                                       Sophie was too little and had fun watching them drive!

We were so excited to see a sneak preview of the new fantasyland! It was open a different times for us to walk through and see what was to come! 

 Another ride the kids loved, was It's a Small World. I had been singing the song to them for a week before we left. Sophie loved the music and danced most of the ride! Every time we tried to record it, she would stop. We caught her dancing at the very end of this video! PRECIOUS!

Shep on the carousel!

Love the castle in the background!

They loved riding the rides!!!!

All my kiddos loved the parades! This was taken when they spotted Mickey in the parade! I love their little faces!

What a great ending to a perfect first day in Disney!

Is Disney ready for the Halls?

The Hall Family is ready to meet Mickey!

For first day at Magic Kingdom

Trick-or-treating at Magic Kingdom

We are ready to go! I have been busy this past month making cute outfits for our Disney trip. I can not wait to see my sweet kids faces when they walk into "Mickey's house". I know there will be many laughs, smiles, and I am sure a few teary moments from this mama! I have teared up just reading other Disney blogs and thinking about our trip. I can't wait! Here is a few things I have worked on to get ready for the trip.

Animal Kingdom Day
Safari Mickey

Pirates!

These are the best times of our lives

This morning was one I wish I could bottle up. All the kids slept a little later (7:10). So everyone was in a good mood when they woke up. Then we all snuggled on the couch. I want to remember having each of my boys on my sides, giggling, telling me they love me, and taking turns kissing my cheek. What a wonderful blessing God has given me-- my 3 kiddos, and the opportunity to spend each day making memories.

On another note, we have 8 days until we go to DISNEY!!! We are sooo excited!
