Disney World - Day 2, Part 1

I was told I haven't blogged anymore about Disney, so thought I would quickly write a post!  I started clicking on all the pictures we took at Magic Kingdom and realized I will have to write a few posts just from our 2nd day!  So, here goes.....this was our first park we went to and we were all pretty excited!  Seeing the looks on our kids' faces when they saw Magic Kingdom and the castle was priceless!!!
 
You can tell from the pictures, it was a bit foggy that morning.  We started out early that morning since the park opened at 8:00.....perfect time cause the park was pretty sparse.  You have to get pictures in front of the castle.....it's a must!  Since we were there before Christmas, you can check out all the trees and decorations.....they are amazing!
 







Reese with the Fairy Godmother.....the boys said "no way" when we asked if they wanted a picture too!
 
 
They all had to try and pull out the sword in the stone! 


 
 
Riding the Carousel......most of the rides at Magic Kingdom we could all ride together, which was nice.





As we were getting off the Carousel, we saw the step-sisters from Cinderella.  Reese went up to them and asked for their autograph, but they said they could do better than an autograph.  So, Drusilla took Reese by the hand and they road the Carousel together.  She was in character the entire time.....it was hilarious and Reese got an experience she will never forget!

Drusilla was introducing her mother to Reese.

Showing Reese how to look like her!

Picking out which horse they want to ride......she told Reese that Cinderella's horse is the only one with a gold ribbon on it.

 

Drusilla was trying to figure out how to get on!


 

 Walking to the castle for pictures and autographs.




 Drusilla doesn't like hugs!

 It's A Small World......the most annoying ride (they play the song over and over again)!  But Cooper and Maddox loved it and were singing that song all week!





 Rapunzel's Tower.....part of a new area in Fantasyland.....it was behind a construction wall, so this is all we saw.  Magic Kingdom is broken up into different areas.....Fantasyland, Frontierland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Main Street USA, and Liberty Square.






 Lots of characters to stop and see.....Chip-N-Dale were on the way to Splash Mountain.



 Maddox wasn't so sure.


Splash Mountain.....a definite favorite of the kids!  I was lucky enough not to get wet the one time I road it....thank goodness!

 Maddox with his autograph book.....he was ready to see Woody from Toy Story!


 One of my favorite pictures......he loved seeing Woody!

Valentine Holders

We are getting ready for our Valentine Party next week, so today we made our Valentine holders......I wasn't sure what to call them, cause they aren't boxes and they aren't really a bag.  Anyway, I cut 2 hearts out of poster board for each child.  Then I punched holes around the bottom sections of the hearts.  You could really decorate them however you want, but I gave the children letter stickers for their names......they did a great job of sticking them on.  Then we took yarn to lace the bottoms and sides together.
 






Time to decorate.....I just gave them a bunch of stickers and they loved it!  I decided not to mess with glue and glitter and that kind of stuff, but you could totally decorate them that way too.






Even Little Miss L got to join in on the sticker fun......she kept reaching for me to give her more!


They are perfect to hang over a chair and not have to find a place to set them all.
