China?

I hope you all had a VERY Merry Christmas!
We sure did!!!

I know I've posted enough of the Disne*y stuff....... BUT I wanted to share these from Epcot's version of China.

We all loved Epcot and especially China. It really brought back a lot of wonderful memories!!!!

Lily LOVED Mulan!!! Mulan was so sweet with her and even spent a little extra time with her. Ty was busy hiding behind a door... even managed to get his hand stuck in the door....also repeatedly popped his head in and out of the door.....
Seeing Lily with Mulan brought tears to my eyes....even to a man waiting in line (I know because he told me). We were first in line (by chance). Lily walked up to Mulan, stood in front of her, and looked her deep in the eyes (some of you know the way that Lily does this) then just smiled the most beautiful smile. They had a little moment and it was so precious to watch.

My first attempt at night photos... with NO flash....

Ty says... LOOK LILY... LOTS OF PINK!

Merry Christmas

Wishing you all a VERY Merry Christmas!!!!

Animals...ETC.....

OK... I know you would all probably rather photos of the littles.....
but I had to share some of these from Animal Kingdom....

Check out the trunk of this "tree"

Silly Lily being herself.... she thought this face was funny when she made it.... she thought it was funny still today when I showed it to her....in fact she even did the face again...then cracked up laughing

The photos below were taken on a safari type jeep thing.... the drivers drive like crazy and warn you to set your camera on action and that they won't be making special stops for photos.... I was surprised that I got any photos...

cooling off....

I kind of like that the BIG KITTY (Ty's words) is a little blurry in this photo...

More from the land of Magic and Wonder

One of the littles favorite attractions was It's A Small World....

Ty loves spotting the moon in the sky... when he spotted the moon in It's A Small World he was more than excited....

Lily thought these hula girls looked like her hula girls....
from a postcard that Grandpa & Grandma C. sent from Hawaii....

Ty says.... look mom... there's a China girl like Lily

Ty says... look mom... LOTS OF FOOD....

After our ride it was time for some lunch at Pinocchio's restaurant. The littles and I spotted this table right by the window that looks at the It's A Small World ride... they thought this was awesome and waved at everyone entering the ride.... I think they had just as much fun waving at everyone as they did on the ride...

Flying on the Dumbo ride...

Delicious dinner at the Polynesian Resort...Kona Cafe.... I LOVE this resort...
reminds me so much of Hawaii...
Check out Lily's umbrella's in her hair..... She was SO happy...
her dessert had Mickey and Minnie sprinkles on it....

Cinderella's Castle

We enjoyed a Princess dinner complete with autograph signings and KISSES...
Lily suggested to Princess Aurora that a kiss was in order....
A kiss FOR LILY that is...
The Princess wasn't sure what to do but she kindly gave Miss Lily a kiss on the cheek.

Princess Aurora told Lily to keep it on her cheek because it was a special kiss....
Lily replied...It will come off when I take a bath...
Although I am sure you can tell she was quite proud of her kiss from a Princess.

Lily's greeting for Ariel (Little Mermaid) was
OH....HI.... UNDER THE SEA...
They had a discussion about Under The Sea's necklace and her hair bow.... Lily thought maybe Under the Sea could give the necklace to her...

*** Notice Ty in the corner of the photo.... Anytime a Princess suggested that he be in the photo he would act super shy. Then mysteriously he would pop his head into each picture.

The littles taking a ROYAL drink at the Cinderella's Castle drinking fountains....
