).

All of you (FE participants or not) made our cruise a blast. Thanks to each and every one of you for making the plannign and the sailing so much fun.

To those of you celebrating today and tomorrow: Merry Christmas. And the everyone: Happiest of New Years.

It was wonderful meeting you and your family as well Hadley. We're just getting ready here for Christmas Eve Mass in 8 hours. (Our church has services 4,6,8,10 and midnight, plus regular Sunday schedule on Christmas Day.) Had choir practice again last night so my guitar is ready to match up to the steel drum, organ, violins and flute. (would you believe that there is only 8 of us!)
Have a Merry and Blessed Christmas everyone! TAke the time with family if you can. The children are only young once.

Sorry for the blurry shots. Christine's not so used to my camera and the fog on the stage also blurred the pics a bit.

The last picture is DEFINATELY a keepsake. Get multiple prints, pass them around, and stow a few of them away for later years.

Actually, I think it's Carmie's son scratching his belly in the first pick that is one of the better ones. Mine was the last camera I think so it's an 'Is It OVER YET?' Move

carmie3377 · 12-24-2009, 11:34 AM

Here's a few.
Another shot of our group photo:

Here's the women from our table from pirate night - all of us Disers!

And our DH's

And our DD's during the character breakfast. We had too many camera's going off they are just about all looking in different directions

Our servers made napkin hats for each of us during the character breakfast

Here's one I thought was really cute. DS and amyngary's younger daughter Olivia were found under the table

And here's another sleeping little boy. Can you tell he enjoyed a Mickey bar before he passed out? The was the first night and he didn't make through any other night!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! I'm in Dallas visiting family and I hear we may have some snow flurries here in a bit!

I missed the snow in Houston a couple of weeks ago as we were already in Orlando.

Yep, that's my boy! It's so hard to get him to stand still for any length of time. We were so happy we were able to get him to stand still for a few family shots. He may not be smiling in all of them but he is still!

Just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Magical Christmas and a Wonderful 2010.....

It's snowing!!!! None of it is sticking as the ground is too wet but it's been coming down for about the last hour! It's just nice to see the white stuff falling from the sky on Christmas Eve. This is something us Southerners aren't used to seeing!!!

Ho Hum, just another white Christmas in Canada.

Just joking Carmie! I love the white stuff too. We can normally expect a white Christmas 50% of the time in this area. This year is more green

At least driving to Grandma's will be hassle free

Just wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas. Getting ready to watch the WDW Christmas parade (did any of you get in on the shooting??) My DD is now playing Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 that we got her for Christmas after she fell in love with it in the Oceaneer's Lab.

Here is a picture of my Jessica and Carmie3377's Haley and Cameron about this time 2 weeks ago at Castaway Cay!

Same to you and yours Fluvanna! We did watch a bit of it on both CBC and ABC. The CBC version had co-hosts Steven & Chris over Kelly Ripa and others. (They are a couple of gay guys who apparnetly are famous, IMO it took away from the 'family' aspect) Ended up watching the ABC version as it was classier.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2010!

amyngary · 12-25-2009, 11:12 PM

Our DDs sure are opposites. Olivia couldn't stand waiting for Julia to take her turn opening gifts because Julia plays with each item for sometimes hours before wanting to open the next gift. It has taken us 2-3 days EVERY year to finish opening gifts thanks to Julia. So here we are at 10pm with Olivia's gifts all opened and Julia with SIX more unopened gifts to go :-)... Cracks me up that she wants to savor each one. She even read an entire 200 page book today before wanting her next gift. At a recent party we were asked what holiday tradition is our favorite and this is what I chose. Not only does it epitomize my kids' personality differences, but it is fun that our day lasts so long.

We had a wonderful white Christmas too here in St. Louis, which only seems to happen about 15% of the time. I have lots of photos from the trip to share, but we are having hard drive space issues, so I can't download them yet. Once I do, we will upload some for you all.

Carmie, I love that photo of our youngest under the table - we got so few opportunities to see your DS awake!

I'm sure going to miss planning with you all....

-Amy

princess369 · 12-27-2009, 11:31 PM

Finally! I've spent hours on getting these right.

I just hope it gets posted right.

Kim and Tom _ Thanks for making the Cruise so much fun

How sweet is this?

Silent night

Island Christmas 2

Island Christmas 3

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

And then we had to go home-- Ugh

Carmen I recognize your son in the pictures, I remember him from walking up the path from the Baths and saying "why is that woman wearing mens shoes"

to the group of people passing by. I thought it was just too cute the way he said it.
