the "magical place"

Well we are home from Disney and have not quite settled back into the non magical world yet!  We had a wonderful time and it went by WAY too fast.  Addie Lane cried at bedtime last night b/c she said she missed Disney World so much.  I think Brad was a little happier than we were to be home, he came down with a terrible cold while we were there (and even missed a whole day of going to a park).  I think he still had a fun time though (he got to enjoy some rides as well - even amongst all the squeals over princesses).  We went to Magic Kingdom on Wednesday and got to have dinner in Cinderella's castle (then it rained and we had to leave the park) and Thursday we had a break day and hung out at the pool and then went to Downtown Disney then that night we had dinner at Chef Mickey's and Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy and Donald come up to your table (the girls absolutely loved this).  Friday we went to Epcot and that night we had dinner with the princesses and each princess came up to the table (the girls were too excited to eat).  Saturday we went to Universal Studios (Brad missed this one).  Then on Sunday we had a break morning and then at 4:00 we went to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom.  This was our absolute favorite.  We had an incredible time.  It snows on main street and there are "dance parties" all throughout the park with the characters (the girls got to do "the hand jive" dance with the step sisters) and they give out FREE hot chocolate and cookies.  There are special christmas shows and parades as well.  The park is open until midnight and the lines for the rides were very short.  We didn't leave the park until 12:20 AM and the girls could not have been sweeter.  This sounds so cheesy but we truly did have a "magical time" and we are so thankful for the blessing of this trip!
here are a few pics from our trip!

I thought Lillie was going to flip out with excitement! She LOVES tinkerbell!

Dumbo is one of the girls' favorite rides!


The have wonderful shows in the castle stage and Lillie squealed when she saw Peter Pan!
