We wish you a Merry Christmas ... and a Happy New Year!


Our bags are almost packed, the anticipation of Christmas and Disney World is almost too much for us to handle!!!! Emma is grinning from ear to ear that when she wakes up tomorrow morning not only will Santa have found a way to deliver her a special toy but we will also pack up our family for a big road trip to Orlando, Florida to the ever so magical Walt Disney World.
I have not been since I was 12 -- with my sister and my Nana! I was still so little so it is all such a blur, therefore I am equally just as excited as our girls! We will absolutely be posting updates on facebook and the blog along the way. Please send good vibes that we have planned ahead enough to provide lots of entertainment and snacks galore for the girls and that they will sleep well along the way!

Tonight we are ready to celebrate a Merry Christmas Eve, full with a Birthday dinner for Michael. We are making Mike and Marie's Mussels and a plan to open a wonderful bottle of Reisling wine ... we will stop over Rob's Aunt and Uncles and enjoy some tasty treats and then send the girls off to bed with "visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads" ~ or more like visions of wrapping paper and sugary sweets! On Christmas morning we will let Emma wake up RaRa and PopPop and then rip through the filled stockings ... anxiously awaiting Auntie April and Timmy's arrival! Then it will be a wonderful exchange of presents -- AHHH, it feels just like it did as a kid -- I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!! It's such a special time where for these moments there can be no stress, you just take it in and say "this is Christmas" whether the house is clean or in shambles - family does not care and the magic of Christmas makes it all ok.

Wishing all of our family and friends a wonderful Christmas, hope you are filled to the brim with love and joy.
