Back to Disney; Day 4

This was a big day for Emma. We went to downtown Disney to make it to Emma's appointment at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique.





First Emma had to choose which princess hairstyle she wanted. She ended up picking the Fairy Tale Princess. Which is perfect for our little lady.

A sprinkle of pixie dust:

Makeup finished

The princess makeover is complete

Every princess signs their name in the princess book.

After the makeover we went back to the Magic Kingdom. Emma became a star in the Monster's Inc. show. They said, "Do you want to see something cute? A princess!" Emma's picture then appeared on the huge screen and what do you think my little princess did? She stuck her tongue out. That's my girl!

Ethan still loved the characters

Emma's favorite ride, It's a small World. Emma and I rode it 7 times during our week in Disney, no kidding.

Our favorite part of the ride, Hula Girls!

In Cinderella's Castle

What a fun day!

I interupt this Disney trip for some Ballet!

Our little ballerina had her first recital this weekend. She did awesome and we couldn't be more proud of her. My mommy goggles might be 3 feet think but I think she looked beautiful in her costume.

Now for the show!
Sorry for the poor picture quality.

Emma's arabesque. She said that when you do an arabesque you need to look at the pretend diamond on your hand. So sweet!

The performance...

We are taking the summer off from ballet but Emma said she would like to continue in the fall. She really does enjoy it. You can tell how much she truly enjoys it from the way she jumps up and down at the end of her dance. I am so happy that Josh signed her and I up for that Mommy and Me class last Mother's Day. You're the best, Josh!


Thanks for stopping by. More Disney to come!

Disney Day 3, Character Breakfast and Animal Kingdom

For our third day in Disney we headed over to The Beach Club to have a character breakfast at the Cape May Restaurant. It was so pretty there. Maybe someday we can actually stay at The Beach Club.

Looking over towards the Boardwalk

The Beach Club

Emma found a partner in crime while we waited for our table.

The breakfast was really good. The buffet is absolutely huge and had everything you could ever want, right down to the Mickey shaped waffles. We were visited by Donald, Goofy, and Minnie Mouse. Emma really enjoyed it, Ethan still was a little scared of the characters.

We then went over to Animal Kingdom to have some more fun. Emma was actually in a "taking pictures mood", so we took a bunch.

Pretty Girl!

Then Emma was done with pictures. Josh had no trouble volunteering to pose with Pocahontas.

The Safari Ride

Emma LOVED this ride. She is still talking about how we saved the baby elephant.

Everest...the Coolest Ride EVER!

Animal Kingdom is one of the smaller parks so we spent the rest of the day swimming back at the hotel. Day 4 coming soon!

Disney Day 2!

We woke up on April 30th to another day of beautiful weather. This was the day that Josh and I were looking forward to the most because we were heading to the Magic Kingdom. We thought Emma would just love all of the princess and stuff never mind the castle.

Ethan crawled right in the stroller in the morning, I guess there is no doubt that he was ready for the day!

Emma must have been overwhelmed with the whole situation because she refused to get her picture taken and kept asking to go home. Our day wasn't going as we expected so far but Ethan couldn't have been better.

This is the face Emma had most of the day, beautiful huh?

Both kiddos really enjoyed the Winnie the Pooh play park. Here is Ethan peeking in a honey pot:

Emma still loved meeting the characters. This day was princess day for us.

We finished up the day with some AWESOME fireworks!
