Has anyone tried the Chex Mix Apple Cinnamon version!? YUMMY!

 

[tinknme]

Great idea Kristine

Could you upload the picture to a Walgreens in her area and then have her pick them up and pay for them? It would be instant...and then the responsibility to pay & get them falls on her.

 

[tinknme]

Robyn you did a wonderful job with the cake! Glad to hear you have your refrigerator & the party was a sucsess.

So today went rather well all things considered.

 

[tinknme]

Jennifer I love your Christmas pictures! Olivia is so pretty & I think Virginia looks just like her

 

[tinknme]

Hope it is nothing serious & Jim feels better soon

Well I caught up and the DIS has slowed down.

need more good thoughts this way...Jim isn't feeling quite right and we will probably head to after hours clinic tomorrow morning unless of course he gets worse tonight.

I am sure he thinks I am callous but he drives me nuts some times being such a worry wart so I snapped at him earlier...mainly because I've been asking him to go get a check up for over a year. I figure (hope) that he is being a worry wart again...but just in case please send some prayers this way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMMA!

The ice has melted & our temps are at 46 right now. I think I will get cleaned up & run my errands while it is decent out. I know our washer should arrive this afternoon, so I will have plenty of to do.

After only getting 5 hours of sleep yesterday, I fell out early. So now I am wide awake

Gary was talking to me about our trip yesterday, I think he is actually looking forward to it! I am hoping with the few extra things I have planned that he will enjoy himself & be more relaxed this time. He was even talking about using fast passes for rides with a wait of more than 20 minutes, I guess he does listen to me

I bought the boys tickets through undercover tourist, I will save their 1 day base tickets for a future trip. I plan on upgrading Gary's when we arrive. Can I do this at check in or do I need to go to guest services at DTD or a park?

 

[tinknme]

Good morning

Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday!

hey Jennifer how did the cookie making go? How many different kinds did you all make?

How are the peanuts treating you today?

It went well, but was entirely too exhausting for me! We baked and decorated, etc from 9:30am - 8:00pm

We made 8 different kinds of cookies (all in all about 450!). We also made M&M pretzel wreaths, royal icing for the sugar cookies, chocolate covered marshmallows, chocolate covered pretzels, peanut butter fudge and chocolate fudge.

I just hope my aversion to sweets goes away

As for the babies, no changes in how I feel -- but I suppose I'm getting quite used to it I'm anxious to see the ultrasound on Wednesday to make sure things are progressing well!

It definitely used to be Guest Relations at the parks only, as recently as last year. I would call and make sure, but I want to say you'll have to go there. Sorry!

So today went rather well all things considered.

We got up this morning and cleaned the house. Then Eric decided to empty the fridge and move it to the deck by himself. That was a great plan until some mystery dark liquid starting leaking all over the carpert I have no idea what it was.

We managed to get everything in the house in order which most of the time is an exercise in futility with a 3 year old running around behind you. My mom came over and got the girls bathed and helped with some other party prep. M

The delivery guys called at 3:30pm and said they'd be here in a half hour. Perfect timing!! Our guests arrived and were quite shocked that we were fridgeless The delivery truck made it here and got the fridge set up in about a half an hour. We then put everyone to work and unloaded the old fridge- it was plugged in on the deck and moved into the new one. Then the guys got the old moved downstairs. We had an old fridge in the basement that got hauled away.

The party went well and everyone had a great time. Emma loves hanging out with her "family". Here are some pics from this afternoon
Her cake

Emma and her best friend, Sandy

Mo and her best friend, Sydney

Our version of pin the tail on the donkey

Wish time

Karaoke (all the kids got mics in their goody bags, they all were singing along to the HSM soundtrack) This is Emma and our Godson Bradley.

Sounds like a wonderful day, Robyn. I'm so glad that the fridge ordeal worked out well for you. The cupcakes look yummy!

Here are a few of our Christmas Pictures

Very sweet. Where did you get their dresses?

Sometimes it's great that Mom's around - after 2 days being here - we've been to Sams Club (where it felt like we bought 1/2 a cow for the freezer) and Giant Eagle (where I now have snack food EVERYWHERE in the house)!
We got hit with the snow/sleet mix late last night - hopefully it will melt off in a few hours.
LOVE the pictures Robyn and Jennifer!!!
Glad to hear the sleepover went well - even if it was a late night!

I have an AP, Almost enough for RT flight, all I need is room & food. I think it may be a possibility. I mentioned to the boys that maybe I could go next year & they informed me they were going too! I will have to keep an eye out for discounts or if there is bounceback offered when we go in a few weeks

When are you thinking of going?

NICHOLAS I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!​

Nicholas says "Thank you for sending the note and I hope you have a great day!"

Hi DDA!

75 degrees here.

Yesterday, we went to the MK along with eveybody and their families. Hey, that's what happens on short trips.

With creative use of FP and a little bit of patience, we covered a lot of ground.

I wish you could have seen Little Guy's face when he saw Wishes. He and I were doing the "Home Alone" face grab! The castle is so beautiful, it took my breath away.

Off to AK today.

Yes, they can do it for you at check in. We upgraded Bob's at POP when we were there in October.

Sounds like you are having a wonderful time, Stephanie! I can't wait to get there!!! But now I'm going through the panicking stage, between getting ready for the trip, Christmas shopping and wrapping!

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning!

No snow or ice here, so that is a good thing. I hope it's not too bad where you are.

After church today I'm taking the kids to their dad's, so Nicholas can have a birthday thing with him. He will keep them overnight, which will give me a whole day by myself to get things done. After I drop them off I plan on going shopping. I still have to buy for my parents, Bob, his dd, and a few more things for the kids. Then I will come home and iron my tshirts for the trip and start doing laundry. Hopefully I can get clothes laid out too
