The Magic Kingdom is Magical!!

We went to the Magic Kingdom last Friday and had a wonderful time. The boys were amazing with the characters and Nick loved riding all the rides. Enjoy the pictures.

The boys and the mouses!

Ok, there is a story here. Nate had asked to meet Mickey all day, and we kept telling him "Soon, Nate soon!" We finally waited in the line to meet him and after we met him, Matt and Nick were in the room gathering our belongings while I took Nate out to the stroller. When I went to put Nate in the stroller, he tugged on my shirt and signed the sign for "thank you" and proceeded to grab my face and kiss me over and over. Matt came out and I was hugging Nate and crying. It was a moment I will never forget as long as I live. Nate is truly an amazing little guy (just like his brother).

Nate made Mommy cry!

Cheesing while we waited for Nick and Daddy riding Thunder Mountain

The castle at night. What a great day!

Nate Meets Donald

I will post the rest of the Disney pictures later, but this is a precious video of Nate meeting Donald Duck. On our last day at Animal Kingdom, Nate only wanted to meet Donald. We finally asked a cast member and he made a call and said to head to Camp Minnie-Mickey and he would be there. Nate had gotten there right when Donald did, so he walked with him into his gazebo for pictures. It was too adorable for words. Enjoy!!

Midweek in Orlando

Matt had his classes on Monday through Thursday, so Mommy and the boys had a lot of time to hang out together and even catch up with friends. I was terrible and didn't bring my camera and take pictures like I should have, so I am sorry to all my dear friends that spent time with us and I have no proof... we appreciate you taking time to see us. Here are some shots from our fun times together before we hit the Magic Kingdom on Friday.

This Woody is made of Legos!

We still don't know how many legos this took to build.

Hollywood Studios- Day One

We just returned home from Walt Disney World. Well, ok, let's be honest-- we were in Orlando for Matt's conference and went to Disney for three out of the seven days we were there. But it truly was the most fun we have had together as a family yet!

First off, we went to Hollywood Studios last Monday. We met a lot of our favorite Playhouse Disney characters and the Cars, but in the end, Nick just wanted to go in the hotel pool. Enjoy the pics. The kids were so cute!
