Late in July our Chicago Family (Erik, Sara, Faelyn and Lenora) came to visit us for a week and we all had a great time and took probably 1,000 photos. Don't worry - i didn't post all of them - only 800....we can't wait to see them again.
The National Zoo was a favorite for everyone. Erik even found a new hat. We had a photo shoot with the cousins...this is take 350 of 700..we got a few great shots. While in DC we hit the sculpture garden...still trying to figure out what this was. The girls take a moments reflection. All girls photo... Erik and Karl had one taker for theirs. The cousins enjoying lunch - it was here where Ainsley/Dagny pressed upon Faelyn and Lenora the importance of Ketchup.
I needed to put an addendum on the last post. We received some of the more professional photos from the Disney staff and I wanted to add them to the site. these are from the boutique the girls went to (see previous post) and this was the moment the girls could admire their beauty.
How we forgot to include this photo is hard to understand...nice hat.
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.
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.
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.
