Halloween, Pie Run and the Tooth Fairy

I know. I know. It's almost Christmas and I am just getting around to posting about Halloween. You'll get over it....

Grandma came through once again with some fabulous costumes for the girls and me! We had a great time trick or treating and , as usual, came home with entirely too much candy.



The Pie Run! Sarah and JB had a blast participating in the inaugural race. Sarah did the one mile fun run and JB the 5K. Sarah ran the first half mile by herself and JB joined her for the second half.





The Tooth Fairy finally got to visit the Bleil household. Someone was so excited that she didn't even mind getting her two bottom teeth pulled! Hooray for awesome dentists.

Disney: Finale

Our final day in Orlando found us at Hollywood Studios. There wasn't a lot that the girls would be interested in here, so it was perfect for a half day of fun before we checked out of the hotel and headed to the airport.

We rode the Toy Story ride and met Buzz and Woody. We had to stand in line for quite a while for both the ride and characters, but I have to say that even at the end of a long week the girls did very well waiting. It helped that the queues were so interactive.




We saw The Little Mermaid Show and then had lunch (followed by dessert, of course!).

Next up was the Playhouse Disney show geared towards preschoolers. Guess who slept through the whole thing?

One last Mickey shaped sugar bomb...

Airport entertainment...

We made it back to Bubba and Holly's and, after recovering from an appearance from Pukahontas, fell right to sleep.


We really did have an amazing time. The girls are already planning our next trip. I hope it will be just as magical.

The Day of Princesses

Day three started with breakfast in Cinderella's castle with 5 Disney Princesses. The girls loved being able to get all of those autographs and I loved being able to enter the park early and get some pretty good shots without tons of people around!



I won't bore you with the pictures of every single princess, but since we were in her castle I figure I should show you Cinderella.

The girls got these lovely wands to use during the Wishing Ceremony. You know, close your eyes, make a wish, wave your magic wand and say, "Bibbity Bobbity Boo!"


We stood in line for an hour after breakfast to meet Rapunzel.

Off to Neverland where we shrank down to fairy size to enter Pixie Hollow.



We also hit Tom Sawyer's Island and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I think this day was the (in Rapunzel's words) "BEST. DAY. EVER!"
