Disney World!!!

The girls up bright and early, ready to fly to Orlando!  It's always tough to wake up my littles, but they both did so good for a 6:30 flight {or so we thought}..

After sitting on the plane for almost an hour because of a malfunction {scary, right?}, they decided it was going to take several hours to fix the part.. so we all deplaned with all of our stuff and kids.. we were so glad we woke up at 3:45 to just sit in the airport!  The girls got creative and did a really good job with all the time we had in the airports.. flew out at 10:30 and then all had different flights out of Atlanta because we missed our connecting flight.. total pain!

Isabelle finally passed out, right after lunch.. poor girl was exhausted!

At the Orlando airport.. we made it!!

The last group arrived at 8:30 and we were so glad to get to the house and out of our clothes!  Poor Lillian was still in her jams because we were supposed to have gotten there at 11:30!

All of our bags + strollers, waiting for our mini vans to arrive!

there they are.. the mini van parade!

We had a late night and an early morning character breakfast.. Lilly girl loved Donald Duck!

so did Iz..

Lillian loving on Minnie Mouse..

She was so interested in her nose!

love this.

Our little family with Goofy..

Safari ride at Animal Kingdom.. Iz loved seeing all the animals!

One of her favorites.. flamingos!

happy girl!

Lillian all set up for her nap with her fan.. it was so hot!

Oh man, this ice cream cookie sandwich was amazing!

Such cute cousins, they had a blast with the pool in the back yard!

Right when you walked up the stairs, there was this huge gaming area.. the house was pretty incredible.

The entry way.

Kitchen 

The dining room table was insane.

I just love Lillian's expressions in both of these.. happy to be with cousin Emme!

and Paisley..

On our way to Magic Kingdom to celebrate Gigi's birthday!

Lillian trying to steal Isabelle's fan.. highly recommend the clip on fan if you take little ones in a stroller to Disney World {thank you Runge!!}.

The infamous Mouse ears.. yep, we got them!

Had our picture taken with Mickey and got his autograph!

Iz had a lot of time on dad's shoulders..

Loving the parade of characters..

 Lillian, just hanging out with her fan :)

Daddy and Izzy.. Izzy drove of course!  She came off the ride saying, "I won mommy!"

Oh man did we have trouble getting Lillian to take naps while at the parks during the day, Betsy had the magic touch.. she finally crashed in her arms.

Tea cups!!

love these faces of joy.

Iz loved the parades and seeing all the characters, it was so cute just watching her.

The ugly step sisters from Cinderella LOVED Lillian, they all stopped to squeeze her thighs, it was pretty funny!

the girls..

We stayed for 'Mickey Mouse's very scary Halloween Party' so Isabelle and Paisley changed into their costumes after our dinner at The Beast's castle {Isabelle said Belle was locked up in the castle and that's why we didn't see her}.

Lillian as Minnie!

I could not get to look away from her light up wand for a picture- this was the best we got!

Okay, I have to preface this by saying, Isabelle was so tired and just not herself when we met Cinderella, she wouldn't even give her a hug or smile and this was the one person she wanted to meet... Jacob and I were so bummed and felt bad that the time we took her, she was beyond tired.. I mean, poor girl was so tired, she passed out in the stroller right after and we were pretty sure she didn't even remember meeting her or Sleeping Beauty :(.

She crawled right up there in her dress and was out in minutes.. the fireworks didn't even phase her.

Who knew Lillian would be such a champ, she was all smiles as Isabelle was passed out on the boat en route to the 'main land'.

Gigi's birthday breakfast.. even the high chair has Mickey Mouse on the back!

It was such a beautiful morning for breakfast outside. 

Surprise!  Mickey is here!

Such a cute cake, cookies and yummy food!  Happy Birthday to Gigi!

Let the family pictures begin..

The whole family!

I just love this.. Isabelle was a little unsure of Mickey and this was the closest she would sit.. Mickey kept scooting closer to her, it was pretty funny.

Isabelle wanted to take some pictures of people with Mickey and she was taking them of herself!  HA!  I was laughing so hard when I looked back at the pictures she took!

I just loved how both girls are looking at/talking to dad.

We stopped by my favorite mall from when I lived in Orlando before Gigi's birthday dinner, checked out Pottery Barn kids and Iz and Papa sat down to color, just made me smile.

At Hollywood Studios.. so lucky to have a friend loan me this Ergo carrier, it was the best thing ever while we were there.  Lillian actually napped in it!

 Just checkin' out Byron's scooter..

 Ashley and I got to ride a super fast roller coaster {a really nice man just gave us their fast passes for the ride, it was a 2 hr line}, it had been so long since I'd ridden a roller coaster so I really enjoyed it, such a thrill!

 I was laughing so hard, and we were going so fast, my eyes were watering.. here's our snap shot.

 Pic of all the kids before we left Hollywood Studios and went back to Magic Kingdom.. crazy day!

 Look at this happy little girl!  She was such a trooper the whole trip!

On our way back to Magic Kingdom..

the girls :)

izzy + daddy

She loved that carousel!

Betsy and I got lucky with fast passes to ride Space Mountain!

Isabelle loved the parade at night with all the lights.. she was so cute just waving at everyone as they walked by.

OH, there's CINDERELLA!

Our lunch before our flight home.. Lilly girl was so happy, love that face!

Yay!

On the plane.. Lillian holding onto baby..

What a fun trip!  Never thought we would be in Disney World with our family of 16, 2 double strollers, 1 single stroller and a scooter {poor Byron with his torn achilles}!  We had some long days, late nights, early mornings, lots of walking and crazy days, but it was so fun.. thank you Gigi and Papa!!  And thank you Disney World, see you in 20 years ;).
