Disney Christmas Vacay!!!!

Wow this post is gigantic and just took waaaaaaay too long so just ignore the spelling errors.
For Christmas this year we took a trip to Orlando to go to Disney World with the Ingersoll Fam!!!

Here we are at the airport waiting for our flight.

 It was Mr. E's first flight and he was a GEM! Slept the whole time!!!

Our layover was in Chicago so we ate Chicago dogs...duh.

We were all so happy to See Andy Lauren and the kiddos cause we miss them way too much!!! The first day we got settled in and grocery shopped. We basically spent 12 hours at Wal-Mart and Costco.

The next day we were planning on going to Epcot but it was POURING rain so bad, so we stayed in and lounged around. This is an awesome pictures of us all Wa ha ha.

Livi Lou got into her mommas mascara during the lounging.

Cindi made sure the trip was full of surprises. The first night she suprised Avery and Andrew with puzzles and tickets to Disney World.

Aust and I did the puzzles with them, and Austin maybe got a little too into it. The next night he wanted to stay up and do the Toy Story puzzle all by himself. When I helped put Woody together, he made me crumple up the pieces so he could do it. Ummm really little boy???

Cindi also surprised us with Disney Christmas PJs. Drew and Ethan got matching Toy Story. All the big boys got toy Soldier PJs and the girls all got Tinker Bell. I'm still mad we didn't get a group shot, but these will have to do...
how cute are my nephews?

Grandma and the Grandbabies in their PJS

We spent a lot of time snuggling with our nieces and nephews/cousins. Avery and Drew are happy to have their first cousin on the Ingersoll side :)

We also turned the bath tub into a nice hot tub at least once a day. At one point I put too many bubbles in and Ethan was eating them by the handful. Ha. Avery Drew and Livi also had a hot chocolate/oreo bath tub. Lets just say the water turned kinda brown haha.

Our first day at the parks was Epcot, and it was NOT warm outside. We thought it would be much warmer so we didn't dress like we should have. We stayed all day and pretty much froze to death, but it was all worth it for the creme brulee in France :)

How cute is Daisy Duck?

We first did the Nemo ride and Nemo show before hitting up all the different countries....

It was all the grand kids first visit to Disney World (and mine)

Twinners...seriously.

Here we are...

We stopped in China for a minute

then headed to Africa

and sorry.... but after that my camera died haha but we visited a bunch of other countries and headed home before the fireworks cause we just couldn't stand the cold any longer and the kids were almost ice sculptures.

The next day we went to Hollywood Studios AKA MGM (why is it called MGM?)

Of course we went on Tower of Terror and Rock 'n Roller Coaster. Sooo fun!!!

This little guy looked so cozy all bundled up!! We were all jealous of him.

We watched a parade full over toy story characters and other super cheesy dancers! As you can tell from the picture, we all ate it up :)

Ethan loves his grandpa!!! Jeff can get him to smile like no one else!!

They had the most amazing lights (the pictures totally don't do justice) and fake snow. It was amazing!!!

At the end of the night we waited 1 1/2 hours for Toy Story. We weren't quite fast enough for Fast Passes. We had some time to kill before our reservations at a restaurant there. I can't remember what it's called. Some Cafe. Austin and I shared a meal because it was so expensive and I downed my half in 30 seconds. It seriously was soo tiny. We all shared and we were all starving after haha.

Next day... Animal Kingdom.  Like the Christmas Tree decorated in Animal heads? Nice.

Bug's Life "It's Tough to be a Bug" 3D Show. Ethan's face cracks me up in this pic. Drew got so scared during this show. He asked Ammon if he was going to die.

Every time Austin would hold E, he would reach for his mouth!! Notice the huge cut above Austin's lip? That would be from Ethan. He would just lay like this forever the little scratcher!!

Our little who from whoville...Livi!! So cute.

We loved the Mt Everest Ride. Ammon went on it 4 times until he was sick!! Thank you stroller passes :)

Austin was carrying drew around on his shoulders pretending he was going to drop him into a river with crocs. Drew kinda laughed a little and said, "Umm Austin, can you please put me down now"

What we didn't get any pictures of is our lovely picnic because it was pretty nice outside and our game of tag that lasted throughout the whole day!! Cindi and Jeff also took us out to eat at Macaroni Grill that night and the bread brought great joy to our souls.

Our last day at Disney World was Magic Kingdom!

Drew Drew was my buddy the whole trip :) Miss him already. He is the funniest guy ever. He told me he loved me more than my husband and I laughed my head off!

 We are only missing Adam :(

The grand kids. Getting a picture of these 4 was quite the job.

Us girls all bought ourselves Mickey and Minnie shirts for the occasion. Too bad we got our picture AFTER we got soaked from Splash Mountain!!

On the last day of our trip, we went to Universal Studios. Cindi bought our tickets for Christmas and paid the extra $50 a ticket to get a fast passes. Fast passes are AMAZING. Front of every line. Austin and I went on so many roller coasters soooo fast, we totally got sick!!!

The main attraction was the new Harry Potter ride. We waited an hour to get into the Hogsmeade (sp?)park, which looks just like the city...its awesome, and then waited in line for the ride for over an over. Ummmm.... so worth it. It was amazing. I've never been a Harry Potter fan, but now I totally want to read the books (and watch the movies ha) The ride was half roller coaster half 3D. It was seriously amazing. Even the line was awesome...all the paintings were talking to each other, and we were just floored!!

As the last ride of the day, Ammon Aaron and Aust talked me into going on the Loon Lagoon Falls ride. I sooo did not want to get soaked in the cold but those boys somehow got me to go and we got soaked!! Lucky it was the last ride.

And  that's the end of the...

Thanks so so so so much Jeff and Cindi!!!!!
