Christmas Fun

Peter Pan Fun Day 2- Peter Pan decoded to take a hot air balloon ride!

Peter Pan Fun Day 3- Woke up and Peter Pan had toilet papered the Christmas tree. The boys LOVED this!!

Peter Pan Fun Day 4- Had a toddler Christmas Cookie Play Date so Peter Pan wanted to be out of the way to watch. He also thought he would help decorate above the tv. (forgot to get a pic)

Peter Pan Fun Day 5- He flew back and got stuck in the chandelier. He is making sure the kiddos eat all their food!

I had a BLAST planning and decorating for our Christmas cookie play date. The kiddos had a blast decorating cookies! We had about 12 kids from church over. It was so much fun!

Sweet Turner!

After the play date, we went with our good friends from church to see Christmas lights at the Fantasy of Lights at Calloway Gardens. We are so blessed to have such good friends!

On another note, we have been having BEAUTIFUL weather ...spending our days being "diggers".

The Elf Arrives

So exciting that our elf arrived and made us all a North Pole breakfast! He brought white donuts with candy canes, marshmallows with sprinkles, and red and green pancakes. He brought the kiddos special elf cups and put chocolate milk in it. He knows we only drink white milk...silly elf!


The boys weren't sure what to think about our newly decorate kitchen table. The elf had been busy!

What is this?

Presents too??

Look at the plates!

CANDY CANE!

Sophie loved her presents too! Peter Pan knew that she LOVES Minnie!

 Boys loved their Christmas stamps!

Once the kiddos started eating, we read the Elf on the Shelf book. Then we had to name our elf. Spencer was insistent that he looked like Peter Pan. So, after some discussion they decided that his name is Peter Pan, the Elf! HA!

Couldn't believe that Peter Pan put CHOCOLATE milk in their new cups!!!

Poor Sophie only got white milk...but SHHHH!

DONUTS!! What a treat!!!

Green and red pancakes! Peter Pan made a little mess in the kitchen!

What a wonderful start to December! We are going to have a lot of fun this month! What a blessing my family is!

Day 6 Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom

Boys showing us where to go

We were so excited that Matt got finished with his conference a day early and could spend our last day at Disney with us! WE had reservations at Hollywood and Vine at Hollywood Studios at 7, an hour before they opened. I was very excited about this restaurant because it had Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates, June from Little Einsteins, and Oso from Agent Oso. I don't know if my kids were tired and over it, but they were not excited about the characters, and it took a while for them to warm up.

Waiting in line to get in to Hollywood Studios

HANDY MANDY! Where are your tools?

Daddy showing Shep and Spence that Jake isn't scary!

Kissing Oso! She kissed everyone!

Finally Shep warmed up right before we left!
June, where is Rocket?

We went to Hollywood Studios mainly for the Disney Junior Show, and it DID NOT disappoint! It was GREAT! All 3 kids loved it! 

There goes Spence

S and S had a BLAST playing in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground.

Shep climbing

They were GREAT climbers in the huge net. Spencer was SO fast!

They did it over and over again!

Thought the huge Play-Doh was so funny!

Had a fast pass for the Toy Story ride. They were a little apprehensive about it, but loved it!

They LOVED the green army man!

After naps, we went to Magic Kingdom for one last time. The boys were so anxious to show Daddy how they could ride a BIG roller coaster!

 Ended the night with a HUGE cupcake!! Thanks Papa!

Seeing the fireworks for the last time...
(tears flowing in this picture)

It was very hard leaving that night. I knew how wonderful this trip had been, and it could be a long time before we were back. I hope I can remember their little faces, and the pure joy they showed as they took everything in. I am a true believer in Disney World and can't wait to go back again with my little family!
