Summer Trip to Disney World - 2011

For our Summer Break this year we went to Disney World and had a fantastic time and while we can't possibly post all of the photos and videos we've tried to put as many as possible to show how much the girls loved it there.

Let the Memories Begin...


Ainsley getting her hair done at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique


Dagny's turn at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique


The girls all dolled up afterwards...adorable


We saw Donald in Epcot...although I don't have a picture...Hunter had a hat just as big...fantastic


We all take a moment to relax before seeing Nemo and friends at Epcot


Ainsley Loved the PeopleMover...benefit to being almost obsolete...no line


Dagny loved it too!


The girls HAD to pose with this statue of course


The kids all take a break (not shown - adults passed out exhausted on grass)



Posing with Ainsley (and a hiding Dagny) - you can see our resort across the lake.



The girls took some time for some tea...Ainsley takes a sip



As does Dagny...with gusto!



And Then Came the Princesses - we had an opportunity to have breakfast with the princesses, a must for anyone who has princess loving girls (or boys) like we do (or just wants a fabulous breakfast).

Belle



Ariel



Princess Aurora



Snow White



Cinderella



Rapunzel and Flynn Rider - was the longest line for the "newest princess" - Snow White unavailable for comment, seen with a lot of delicious looking apples for everyone to eat...



Although not technically a princess...a moment with TinkerBell....Dagny just loves her.



Ariel comes by to chat with the girls.....a definite highlight of our Princess Breakfast.

Ainsley Turns 5

Late in May Ainsley turned 5 and we just can't believe it...has it really been over 5 years since we started this blog? WOW!

For Ainsley's 5th birthday we went over to Lily Magilly's for cupcakes and utter chaos as a multitude of 5 years olds ran around crazy after eating 9 pounds of cupcake frosting...good idea Melissa!

They set up everything before we got there - very pink.



Ainsley and Dagny before the storm.



The girls all got to tour the kitchen first to learn where cupcakes come from.



Everyone started with a Shirley Temple and that's when the sugar ride began.



Ainsley had such a great time with her friends.

Mother's Day 2011

Mother's Day was a great time this year - it was low key but enjoyable.

Melissa contemplates her options.



Dagny & Mommy share a moment.



Ainsley on stand-by to "help" Mommy open her gifts.



Melissa loves her new iPhone purse thingie (Karl's words).

Dagny Turns 3!

Dagny had her birthday party at myGym this year and it was crazy....almost 20 kids running around a myGym....we had nap time right afterwards...for Karl.

Dagny takes a moment before the party started.


The party starts with some instruction.


Mom and Dag.


Dagny loved the tire swing..her in action!


Come on everyone - time for the parachute!


Time for cake!

Easter 2011

For Easter this year we had our usual Easter Brunch and enjoyed the good food. The girls got to dress up in fancy dresses and LOVED it!

Ainsley got REALLY excited!
