When You Wish Upon A Star.

We just got back from the happiest place on earth. It was magical. It was relaxing. It was fun. At times it was even stressful. Yes, it was Disney World. I miss it already. The weather couldn't have been better. The accommodations were amazing. And the fireworks. Oh, the fireworks were the best. I can't wait to start dreaming of our next Disney adventure.

On our way to Orlando. She had to hold Mickey the whole way!

The Grand Floridian. Gorgeous. I've heard their Christmas trees during the Holidays are worth the trip!

We had beautiful weather every day. Blue skies and sunny!

These kids were great sports about wearing matching shirts, especially Chesson.

But they do look cute!

One of our first rides. Dumbo!

The Barnstormer. They all did a great job!

Gigi. Sweet Gigi. Always willing to stay behind to take care of a baby, stand in the long line during meals and oh, just plan this ENTIRE trip. She and Holt were the reasons we were all able to be here at this magical place!

Totally serious business...even while wearing a baby.
Who knew Lawton Graves would ever be a baby wearer?

I'm pretty sure Anna Corbin beat us all.

On our way to breakfast at Cinderella's castle. I didn't even know this existed!

Weslyn was very excited that she got to eat as much as she wanted and we never had to pay for her because she's under 3. We were equally excited because she eats as much as some adults.

Fun in the castle.

Getting Ariel's autograph.
Anna Corbin could definitely have a job being princess Ariel one day with all that beautiful red hair!

Let the character photos begin!
The kids were so happy we let them have their wands and sword for the pictures.

But let's not get carried away with the sword. "Chesson, put your sword down, I'm posing!"

Where did our wands and sword go???

It's ok, someone got a big smooch from Princess Jasmine!

And now they're back!

We got so lucky to catch the fairy godmother as we were leaving our meal!

Weslyn had a hard time with the non-princess characters at first.
But meeting Pooh was a dream come true for me!

It took her a little bit to get used to them.

But she came around eventually!

She wasn't so sure about taking this picture without her cousins. 

Pictures with cousins are better because someone is always hugging her...

...or holding her hand. So sweet.

Bring goofy with Goofy.

Let me just take a minute and say something about my sweet sister-in-law. She's going to be really mad I'm drawing any attention to her, but I don't care. She is my hero. She made sure these kids got pictures with all the characters, rode all the rides, saw the shows AND got EVERY character's autograph for EACH of their books. She's just amazing.

Finally meeting Mickey Mouse!

We even got to celebrate Holt & Corbin's birthdays. Oh, how we loved all of the character meals!

We were blessed with the best weather. By the best weather I mean, pool weather. With a pool and splash area like this, it's a good thing we were able to play in it or else our kids may have had tantrums. 

Circling the perimeter. Weslyn didn't really want to get on the splash playground, she just wanted to monitor it very closely. 

Cutest baby at the pool. She only lasted a little bit before needing to go in for a nap, but putting her in the suit and hat were worth it for this picture.

Sweetest boy I know. Also,  the bravest 5 year old I know!
He went on an adult roller coaster ride with us in Animal Kingdom. What a champ!

This precious girl takes the best pictures. She certainly knows how to strike a pose. :)

Watching the fire works. This was one of my favorite moments. Weslyn had never seen a fireworks show before. She was enthralled. It's a good thing I took a short video of the show because she asks to see it everyday.

Beautiful.

Trip of a life time. Can't wait to go back when the kids are a little older and want to do space mountain 15 times in a row. #gravesdodisney2014
