Hi everyone!!! We just got back from a weekend at Disney World... What a FUN time!!! I think this simple picture of Lucia was my favorite from the entire weekend. We took Thursday morning to go to some of the resorts to see their gingerbread creations, and this was a completely spur-of-the-moment shot - she just looks so darn cute and angelic here! And a real smile vs. one of those "cheesy" 6-year old smiles!
The best part of the trip for me was actually going to see the Harry Potter section at Universal. I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan... All I can say was IT. WAS. AMAZING. Worth every penny. They put Disney to shame with the absolute attention to detail!!! I could have spent the whole day there, and we were completely lucky to walk right onto the rides. In fact, we waited longer for the "show" at Ollivander's Wand shop than anything else. And of course, we all got our requisite butter beer which was a lot like cream soda with whipped cream on top - YUM!!!! I truly felt like I had been transported into Hogsmeade and that I would see Snape round the corner at any minute!
The trip, albeit short, was a really nice way to celebrate with my folks and to kind of "kick off" the upcoming holiday events. We have a lot going on over the next 3 weeks though and this was just the start! So here are a few more pictures (below) of the weekend... The weather ranged from high 30's to low 70's - quite the range! I'm glad we came home today though because it is supposed to be in the teens there tomorrow!!!
I hope everyone out there in band-land is doing well... I don't look forward to seeing the damage on the scale tomorrow morning, but I enjoyed myself and kept the over-indulgence to a minimum!!!

You look gorgeous and so happy!!! LOVE YOU! xoxo
I'm glad you had a great time! Nothing like Disney to get you in the Christmas spirit!
We went to Disney last year during Thanksgiving and it was magical. I'm looking forward to taking the girls to Universal for the first time very soon. We're hoping maybe February or March. We love Harry Potter so much that on our cruise when we got off at Port Canaveral we got off the ship to go see the new Harry Potter movie.
Sounds like a great weekend. I'm jealous you saw the Harry Potter stuff - I'm a huge HP geek. You look so skinny in that last picture with Lucia.
You are looking happy and fantastic!! Glad you had such a great time :o)
