Home Again, Home Again, Jiggidy-Jig

Before I tell you about our awesome trip, I would like to give Olivia, Bleah, and Carlotta a huge round of applause for their lovely posts while I was gone! They did such a wonderful job and I love how each of their posts are about vacation, but their writing styles are so different. So thank you guys so much for guest posting!

---------------------------------



We woke up at 4:00 in the morning to leave for the Charlotte airport which is about an hour and a half away. We met our MeeMaw in a vacant parking lot and she brought us sausage balls, coffee, and hot chocolate to have for a (very) early breakfast.

Our airplane left at 7:50 (I loved everything about it...except for the takeoff!)


A bit after we arrived at our hotel, we took a tram to the first park...Animal Kingdom



The photo below is a roller coaster called Expedition Everest. Let me tell you, I hate roller coasters, but I actually enjoyed this one!




Day two - Magic Kingdom

Oh I LOVED Magic Kingdom! I mean, I loved every park, but this one sort of stuck out to me. Funny thing is, I dreaded riding Space Mountain (remember my fear of roller coasters?) but it turns out that it was my favorite ride in Magic Kingdom. Ha!




The Electrical Parade (so pretty!)





Day three - Epcot (the theme was different countries)

My favorite ride in Epcot had to be Soarin'. Don't know what it is? Google or Youtube it. :)






Because cool people have their pictures taken with furry animals ;)




Day four - Hollywood Studios

I rode my first roller coaster that went upside down...twice. It was called Rockin' Roller Coaster.



We went to a show in Hollywood Studios that showed how in movies they do car stunts, crashes, and anything you can think of that has to do with fire.



We had a safe trip to Disneyworld and back and got back home around 3:00ish yesterday.

Though we had TONS of fun, it is nice to be home again.

Have a 'Love'ly Day & Farewell!

First off, I would like to wish you all a very Happy Valentine's Day!

            (Wondering about the Ariel card? It was a Valentine's Day card/Mom's way of saying 'Hope this gets you in the mood for Disney World')

And Farewell? Where in the world would I be going in the middle of February? My family and I are leaving for Disney World this week! Eeeek! Don't worry though, there will be some lovely guest bloggers to keep you all company.


So, my lovely readers...




                            Farewell!

P.S. I owe a HUGE thank you to Amanda over at Chicken Scratch Designs for installing my Accordion/Expanding sidebar menu! Look how well it matches the colors of my blog design? :)

' Twas the Night Before Christmas...





...and what did we do?
Had our MeeMaw over for some delicious food
as we opened our presents we couldn't believe our eyes
for right before us was the magnificent grand prize

(you all will see what the 'grand prize' is at the end of the post)


So enough with the cheesy poem (compliments of moi!). Our MeeMaw came over tonight to celebrate Christmas Eve since my family and I are traveling to my mom's side of the family for Christmas tomorrow. It started with a delicious supper that Mom made and then we opened MeeMaw's gifts....

(our family photo. please excuse me in these photos, I am not wearing any makeup)





Our picture with MeeMaw


I promise, I really was happy! (Mom caught me at a bad time though)

I got some, ya know, awesome girly stuff!


My Wintry toes...









and now......


can you guess.....


what the "grand prize" from our MeeMaw was?










If you guessed tickets to FLY to DISNEYWORLD, then you are correct!!! Now, I wouldn't brag except that I have never in my life flown on a jet nor have I ventured off to Disneyworld nor have I ever been to Florida. I am pretty sure that when my brother and I opened up this gift, I squealed like a baby pig.





 My family and I are going to FLY to DISNEYWORLD (I absolutely will make those letters capital and boldfaced) February 16th and leave for home on the 20th. I am so ecstatic! It's hard to put this all into words! Thank you so much MeeMaw for this wonderful, insanely awesome, magnificent, gift!




Merry Christmas to all of my wonderful readers!
