Disney World 2017

Two weeks ago, we headed down to our favorite place in the whole wide world - DISNEY WORLD!! It was our 6th visit, but still just as magical as the first!! As usual, we began our journey at Epcot:
That Tinkerbell bugs us from the moment we arrive:
Nothing says "happiness" like 3 little girls at Disney World!!
Meeting Daisy:
A new experience for us: Meeting the "Inside Out" characters, Joy and Sadness:
BAYMAX!!!
Clairy is still a little overwhelmed by the big guy (not pictured is Daddy, who is off getting us some Starbucks - not enough caffeine in the world for a 12-hour Epcot day):
Giving Baymax's infamous "bones" handshake. Badaladaladala!
GOOFY!!!
MINNIE!!!
The main mouse:
Back to Minnie one last time - Clairy's all time FAVORITE. Minnie was happy to see us again:
We had THE BEST time at Epcot - riding rides.....
....and eating at my favorite restaurant in Mexico, San Angel Inn. The girls spoke to everyone in 
Spanish. They just fit right in!
Meeting Pluto:
Daddy snuck a selfie:
Always a great time walking "around the world" of Epcot:
Little smooch in Paris:
It was the longest day we've ever spent at a park without a break, but it was SO.MUCH.FUN. Worth every exhausting step!!
Next day, we headed to Hollywood Studios!!
My personal favorite in Hollywood.....meeting Chewbacca. 
A Daddy's Dream:
Had to get a pic all by myself. He is so my homie. #theonlythingireallylikeaboutstarwars 
Meanwhile, my Clairy has an actual crush on Kilo Ren. Like, a serious, actual crush:
Trying to channel "the force," but looking more like "dorks in the extreme sunlight."
Another first for us: Meeting Olaf!! We were so glad that he likes warm hugs!!
Just wayyyy too much excitement......
......will eventually lead to pure crashing!! Good thing she could use her Minnie-ears as a sleep-mask!!
But, she perked right up for some more Mickey and Minnie lovin'!!
Having dinner at Mama Melrose Italian Restaurant:
And of course, one must always, ALWAYS end a trip with a little Fantasmic!!!
Despite all the magic, I just don't know if there's more entertainment than a Disney bus ride!!

The following day, we finally made it to one of our favorite places in the whole wide world: 
Magic Kindgom!!

Meeting the REAL Mickey!! I tell you what, even as an old lady, this just never gets old!!
He's such the charmer:

Some of the BEST rides are at MK!! And we take them very seriously!!
Another first for us: Riding the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train!!!
Daddy's face!!
The video was my fav:
Enjoying the night with one of the many fabulous parades!!
The moment you realize the adults are more excited than the kids?? When they have to place a hand over your grown mouth...

Looking like pure skanks at this point, but the fun preseveres!!
We ended the night with dinner at the Crystal Palace!! Look who snuck up on us??
Also a little love from Eeyore!!
We also squeezed in a lot of pool/beach/hammock time!! It's so nice to experience summer weather in February!!
Carribean Beach Resort : almost paradise!!

And there you have it!! Another Disney vacation that was simply magical. I really, honestly, truthfully need my own personal Mickey.

Cheers to Disney #6!!!!!

A Little Putt-Putt Fun!!

We've been itching to play some putt-putt lately (and by WE, I mean ME....I love putt-putt). Nothing like going on vacation and playing a little putt-putt with the giant dinosaurs or what-not. Anyhow, turns out, there's a cool little indoor "black-light" putt-putt place in Newnan that is pirate-themed. We decided to try it out after church a few weeks ago. 
PERFECT!!!! 
Enjoy some pictures from our glow-in-the-dark adventures:
Nothing like a cheese-face under the black lights!!
The place even had mermaids - the girls were so excited!
Daddy helping the tiny golfer:
Claira trying so hard to get a hole-in-one (more like hole-in-534).
I'll leave you with a glowing selfie! Argggggh!!
Cheers to putt-putt and pirates!!


First Tooth-Loss of the Year!!!

Nora lost the first tooth of 2017!! Goodbye to baby-tooth #18!!
And just to recap the last 17:

Cheers to 2 MORE BABY TEETH!!!

Daddy-Daughter Dance '17!

This Valentine's weekend, Daddy got to take 3 precious dates to the annual Daddy-Daughter-Dance in our neighborhood. What a lucky guy!!
.....and what lucky girls!!!
They literally danced the night away:
Even Clairy was GETTIN' IT!!
They enjoyed a spaghetti dinner and chocolate cake, and a whole lotta' dancing and fun with Daddy!!

Cheers to Daddies and Daughters - the greatest love!!

Nezlets go Hunting!

A little over a month ago, Daddy decided to take the girls on a hunting excursion. This was Claira's very first time, and boy, was she so excited to get on her hunting gear and go "kill a big one" with Daddy!!
 Daddy and his hunting buddies:
 Calling the big boys!! 
They hunted for about 2 hours until they just couldn't stand being quiet any longer!!
 Turns out, they didn't kill nuttin' but TIME!! But, it was still time well spent!! 
 One day, they'll get a big one!!

Cheers to daddy's hunting buddies!!!
