Our Visit to the Magic Kingdom

While our family was visiting for Christmas we wanted to take the big kids to the Magic Kingdom. That's my nice way of saying, "there's no way I was pushing a stroller with two two-year olds around Disney World for two days so they stayed home with my parents." We left super early (4:30 early) the day after Christmas.  It was wonderful! The weather was perfect, we had fast passes so we didn't have to wait in lines and we had a blast together!! 


Our obligatory picture in front of the castle... love!

Love being at the park at Christmas!


Julie and I had a blast together!

I loved being able to take pictures of every ride we went on... such great memories and I love everyone's excited faces!

Our first ride was the Mad Tea Party... you just have to!

Chris and I on the Dumbo ride. I love that the castle is in the back!

The Little Mermaid Ride... Julie and I loved this ride!

The kids' favorite ride... Space Mountain!

Chris was such a good uncle... he took the kids down Splash Mountain while me, Julie and Jamie had a coffee. We had no desire to get wet!

On the train. Our lazy way to get to the other side of the park. 

The kids on the Dumbo ride! 

Papa and Abe on the Small World ride... another must!

Barnstormer... worlds quickest ride.

Heading up Thunder Mountain. Another favorite!

We loved that the kids always wanted to ride together. 

One of my favorite pictures!

A second favorite!

Of course a trip to Disney isn't complete without enjoying ALL the many snacks and treats! And boy did we enjoy them...

Mickey cake pops... yum!


Enjoying the biggest cinnamon roll at Gaston's. 

Taking a break to enjoy the ice cream treats!

Our lunch! Look at those huge hot dogs! So good!

Being there at Christmas was fun because the park was decorated, they were playing Christmas music and we got to enjoy the Christmas parade.



After our second day, we finished at the park around noon and all the kids wanted to do was head back to the hotel to swim. It's their favorite thing to do together! They always have a blast! And who doesn't love swimming at the end of December??

Sweet cousins!

Of course, the adults loved our time together, too, sitting by the pool! No complaints from us!

We had an amazing time and we were so glad we went!! Don't worry, we will take Luke and Jack soon. We just want them to be a little older so they can actually enjoy the park. Thank you Gram and Granddaddy for keeping them for us!! I know they had a blast with y'all, too!
