Merry & Bright

It's the most wonderful time of the year! We had a very busy December... We started it off at the most magical place on earth! We were so excited about all the food on this trip, & it did not disappoint. Our first night we ate at OHANA, & in my opinion (& I think I can speak for all of us that went on this vacation) it is the best restaurant on the planet! We also got to eat at Be Our Guest, and it was amazing too. We had never been there before. Let face it, we might go there just for the food. Well and this view.

 

This year, Elsa froze the castle! Disney was all about Frozen!

We spent 5 full days at Disney World and one day at Universal Studios / Islands of Adventure. We had been to Harry Potter World once before and loved it, but now that they've added the Hogwarts Express & Diagon Alley it is AMAZING! They didn't miss one detail! That was probably my favorite day. And it made me envious of people who get paid to design places like this. I'm not sure which place is more magical... Disney World or Hogwarts?

We sure missed our boys while we were on vacation. It's really hard to be away from these adorable babies for too long. They were so excited to see us when we got home! We came home on Friday night and Saturday morning we got busy putting up our Christmas tree. I turned on The Grinch and my little buddies ran around in their Christmas sweaters trying to play with all of the ornaments which made it fun.

 Last year I hosted a gingerbread house decorating party, but I didn't see where I would have time to this year so I just did it by myself. It wasn't near as fun so next year I'll have to find time to do a party again. Then it was here, the week of Christmas! It always feels like it will never get here, & then it's over before you can blink! We had lots of fun family parties all week long, then it was over. We had a wonderful week and once again, got spoiled by our parents. We are very blessed. I racked up on kitchen gadgets, which makes me very happy. Our sweet little Charlie & Thor had fun opening their stockings too. It's like they knew there we new toys in there just for them!

It's always nice that first day you get to relax after going non-stop. I know our fur babies enjoy our lazy days. We spent New Year's Eve day out & about together & ate dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. But we rang in the New Year at home, in our pajamas, with Charlie & Thor, watching tv & eating candy.. now if that's not a perfect New Year I don't know what is. I try not to make resolutions because it's just too much pressure. But I am going to try to eat healthier this year. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Bring on 2015!
