Nana & Papa decided to do something very non-traditional this year and take us and Uncle Jimmy & Aunt Lindsay to Disney World for Christmas. I have NEVER been away from home on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and I was a little emotional about it, but we had a blast! We started early Monday morning Christmas week and stayed until Saturday. I was a little worried about how Eliza would do, but she was perfect! The long ride there and back, the long lines to ride the rides, the MASSES of people ( think we were the only Americans there!), the late nights on the crowded monorails and all the eating on the go....she endured it all! She loved all the rides we took her own and loved the parades and characters. She wasn't scared of any of them!
Hazel had already been about 18 months ago, when I was pregnant with Eliza. There were some rides that she wanted to ride then, but she wasn't tall enough. Not this time, she grew enough to ride almost everything! She got to to Bippidi Bobbidi Boutique again this time and she wanted to me Princess Jasmine. She even got hair extensions!
We enjoyed every single one of the parks and most of all had quality family time. And good food, and more food and food and....yep, food. Good thing I walked it all off that week!
Leaving Florence at 6:00 am! Breakfast to go, please
Eliza kept herself entertained in the car
The first night we were there, it was COLD! I had to buy blankets for the girls. None of us was prepared for the cold weather.
A picture inside "It's a Small World" This was Eliza'a favorite ride. She had so much to look at.
There were many late nights on the monorail going back to the hotel.

What a fun and magical Christmas present!! I love Hazel dressed up like Jasmine. She looks beautiful!
We did Disney World a couple Christmas' ago and had SO MUCH FUN! It looks like the girls had a ball. I think you have the best dressed little girls I have ever seen! They always look so adorable.
