Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas from The Happiest Place on Earth!!! And for us, it truly has been. I cannot express in words how wonderful this vacation has been. For the most part it all went smoothly and as planned, with only a few minor hiccups along the way.

We started with Christmas gifts. The girls have been eyeing these Polly Pocket princess sets the entire time we've been here. They were thrilled. The trip was their gift, but we wanted them to have a small gift under the tree. Grammy gave them gift cards so there will be a bit more shopping later!

We started the day with a few pictures around the hotel. It had several cool things in different nooks and crannies that we found by accident. I loved this Mickey.

This was my favorite hotel thing though. Isn't it cool? We did several different pictures here!

After the photo shoot we headed in to have breakfast with Mickey and the gang. I was teary for quite a bit of it. How cool is it to eat with Mickey on Christmas morning! Even though we were hear earlier in the week, there was just a magic feel to it.

The gang was all here...

Goofy

Donald

Minnie

Mickey

and Pluto.

Waving the napkins! A Chef Mickey's tradition!!! Pluto came over and waved with the girls. :)

The tree at Chef Mickey's. It has cooking utensils all over it! :)

The tree in our hotel.

The girls got to pick their favorite ride of the trip to do one last time. They picked the Magic Carpets!!!

One last picture on Main Street!!!

Truly - a magical week. I cried when we left. I am so thankful we were able to go when the girls were young enough to enjoy the whimsy of it all. They still love the princesses, and characters, and Dumbo, and the teacups. I know we will go again, but it will be different... they won't be quite as smitten. Rides will be the bigger thing then. Character meals won't be as big of a deal. This will be one of those times we look back on, and it will bring a smile to our faces every time.

Thanks Mom! This was definitely the best gift you could have given us!!!
