We planned a family vacation to Disney over Nate's Fall break from school. We went to Disney in May with Nate's family and ever since Lexi has BEGGED to go back. She never forgot and asked almost daily if we could go to "Minnie's house"...I asked Nate if we could go back and we decided it would be a fun early Christmas gift for our family :)...after all I will probably never see Nate again after this year is over...dang school! ;)
I was so excited to take Lexi back. Watching your kids get excited is super addicting. I love it! We invited my parents to come along and I am so glad they agreed. It was the best bonus to have them with us. The kids loved the extra attention and it was fun to spend time with them.
I took hundreds of pictures. Lucky for you I couldn't post them all.... So this is small little look into our trip! The parades are seriously my favorite. They are adorable. The music, floats, costumes and characters are completely decked out and look real. I love it! Meeting characters was Lexi's all time favorite. She would run with open arms practically knocking them over. She gave the tightest hugs and just giggled and smiled. It took a good few minutes to convince her that other kids wanted a turn to meet the character. Nixon surprisingly loved the rides, lights and music. He was such a happy little guy and was great during our trip. Nate and I got to sneak away a few times while the grandparents watched the kiddos. It was so much fun to ride the coasters and big rides with just him. We felt like little kids again.
Disney was so magical. It was decorated for Christmas and had lights, music and everything else you could think of. The park "snowed" bubbles every night and had Christmas shows and parades. It was perfect! My parents were awesome. I am so grateful they are mine. They made the trip so enjoyable. My kids are lucky to have them.
Here are a few pics of our fabulous family vacation. I'm sad it's over but love the memories!
*Highlight of Lexi's trip was meeting Minnie and the princesses. She is ALL GIRL!!
We signed up for a character breakfast and it was the BEST! I would suggest it to anyone and I don't think I can go back to Disney without doing this. We ate the most delicious (all you could eat) breakfast while Minnie and her friends walked up to your table and met you. Lexi was in HEAVEN as you can tell...she couldn't stop staring at the characters as they came up to her. She kept saying "Mom they are eating with me!!!" :)
This picture cracks me up. She was just rubbing Pluto's whiskers like they were the best of pals :)
It was wonderful! Can't wait to go back...:)
