Christmas Eve

 For Christmas Eve, we spent the day in Animal Kingdom!

 Lily loved the themed Christmas trees- especially the Stitch one!

 We also went to see Festival of The Lion King for the first time!

 We saw these cool bats on the Jungle Trek along with some beautiful tigers!

 We spent some time in DinoLand.

 We also bought this snow leopard in the Yeti Shop.  Lily named her Snowy.  We were supposed to go on Expedition Everest for the first time because Lily finally met the height requirement...but the ride was closed down due to computer malfunction issues!  Baba was so sad!

We spent the end of our day back home at Epcot where we enjoyed this delicious pizza at Via Napoli- one of our favorite restaurants.

12-23-2013...Sweet Secrets

One of my fondest memories of this trip was when Princess Aurora whispered to Lily and told her a secret.  Lily waited until she was gone, and then she leaned over to me and said, "I have a secret to tell you." I leaned in to listen.  She said, "Princess Aurora told me I was the most beautiful princess she had ever seen."  Her face lit up!  Princess Aurora has no idea how much those few words impacted my daughter's life.  I wish I could thank her personally!  Just another reason to love Disney!

12-22-2013...A Sparkling Castle

 We love spending Christmas at Disney World!  A day does not go by without thanking God for this gift of spending time together and mostly for celebrating the birth of His son.  

12-22-2013....Be Our Guest

 We ate at the Be Our Guest restaurant again.  This time we got to eat in the main ballroom right beside the huge tall windows as we watched it "snow"outside.  It was so lovely!

 My favorite part was the Christmas decorations!  

12-22-2013...Magic Kingdom

 There is such a magical feeling that fills you up when you see the castle for the first time (each time you visit WDW)- I think it makes every girl feel like a princess!
