I'm not quite sure how we are already in 2015!! The past few months of this year have been an absolute wonderful whirlwind of wedding prep, getting married, seeing friends and family, traveling to Disney and wrapping up 2014. Obviously the highlight of the year was getting to marry the man of my dreams! I loved every minute of our wedding and love looking back at all of the wonderful moments (and yes I promise to share more pictures as soon as they are available to share with y'all, trust me I'm anxiously awaiting seeing them as well!) Upon our arrival back to Macon Mike and I faced our first hurdle as a married couple when Lou had a very scary colic that required 4 sleepless nights at the vet clinic, fortunately we have a wonderful vet here and Lou pony pulled through! It was so nice to bring him back home and get to see his sweet goofy self everyday. Plus we got to take our annual Christmas photo again this year! (See middle photo above from our stop at the barn on the way home from Christmas Mass.)
Our next highlight of the year would have to be getting the chance to do a Disney trip!!
Mike and I were lucky enough to get to travel down to Florida with his parents for a Christmas Disney week. It was wonderful and getting to see Disney for the first time and at Christmas was a very special treat!
Day 1 in Animal Kingdom
The Osbourne Family Lights at Hollywood Studios were amazing!
Our first day in Magic Kingdom Mrs. Denniston got us all reservations at Beast's Castle for lunch. The food was excellent and the entire castle is gorgeous! It is amazing how detailed every single attraction is at Disney. The entire area around Beast's Castle is all Beauty and the Beast themed and has one of the most entertaining characters, Gaston. If you want a laugh just go to youtube and type in Gaston encounters at Disney. You have to watch the one where the little girl argues with him about the beast....here's the link click here.
For dinner we headed over to the Hoop Dee Doo Musical Review which is over at Fort Wilderness and just happens to be right next door to the Disney stables. So of course we had to walk around and visit the adorable grey ponies! By now most of you know that I have a very soft spot for grey ponies so I was in pony heaven! When we entered the dining room we discovered that we had amazing seats as in you could touch the stage from our table good seats! Of course sitting that close to the stage makes you a pretty awesome volunteer target which is exactly what happened. Yep I was "volunteered" to go up on stage for part of the show and perform as a can-can girl. It was hysterical and fun and I've now made family history as the first one to be picked as part of the show.
After dinner we headed back to Magic Kingdom for the electrical lights parade and the light show on Cinderella's Castle, absolutely beautiful.
All of the Christmas decorations were insanely beautiful, including this gingerbread house that is completely built out of edible materials!
On our visit to downtown Disney we got to make our own Mr Potato Head
Mr. Denniston got to meet some of Henry's favorite characters on our second day in Hollywood Studios!
And I got to be the time keeper for Fast Pass at Rockin' Rollercoaster....probably my favorite ride!
On Friday Mike and I spent the day at Epcot and enjoyed walking "around the world." We especially loved our stop in Germany where we ate delicious caramel creations and got to read about the pickle tradition. In Germany each family hides a pickle on their Christmas tree for the children to find and the one who finds the pickle gets a special present, it was a wonderful reminder of the tradition that we practice every Christmas at my Omi and Opi's house.
Mike and I had a wonderful time in Disney and coming back to reality was a bit tough. We cannot wait to share this new year with all of you! I'll be sure to do a new year's resolution post this week and a juice update!
Love y'all!
