The Lighting of Cinderella's Castle

At Christmas at magic kingdom, they light up Cinderella's castle with thousands of lights. It is seriously breathtaking!

The mickey mouse gang all do a show first...
And Cinderella comes out and wishes her castle could sparkle like her glass slipper

And the fairy godmother lights it up piece by piece!

It is gorgeous and so amazing. I read online that they light it up by attaching led lights to nets that are dyed the same colors as different parts of he castle. So during the day you can't really see them but at night the castle is draped in lights. And since they are led lights they only use as much energy as running 3 dryers. Amazing!

Riding the train to Mickey's house in Toon town

I have a picture of Brayden sitting on top of this mailbox when he was a baby with Guy. Now he's as tall as the mailbox! How did that happen??

Pictures from inside Mickey's house...they are tearing this part down soon so I thought I'd document

He came over to say HI!!! :)

Waiting for the Castle show to start

We bought both the boy's mickey ears that day as a surprise and this was the first time Tyler would actually wear them. It lasted about 5 minutes but at least I got a few pics of him in them.

I Loved this day. It's true, Magic Kingdom really is the most magical place on earth. Guy and I smiled the whole day at how much fun our boys were having. Life is good and I am grateful every day that we were able to make it work to get these passes and make so many memories together. Sure beats cable tv any day!

Disney Hollywood Studios Light Show = AWESOME!

We spent a night at Hollywood Studios to check out what they did for Christmas. Let me just say, it was awesome! They do this huge light show called the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights where the lights "dance" along with the music. We were blown away by how many lights there were and both Brayden and Tyler loved it. It helped that the weather was so nice too. Nothing beats looking at Christmas lights in shorts!!!

Yes, it was crowded! But it was sooo worth it. Seriously, Christmas at Disney was so magical. There are a lot of people but they sure go all out in everything they do!

In honor of us :)

We found the leg lamp from A Christmas story!

Ty found this little puppy statue at the door and would not leave. Pretty sure he thought it was real and that kid loves puppies right now!

Frosty talkin' on the phone

Giant Mickey and Santa

Can you find Guy and the boys? They are so tiny!

It was so much fun and I am so grateful we were able to go. Favorite part of the night had to be watching the boys dance to the music. Tyler was trying to do everything brayden, like always, and it was just cute. I love Christmas at Disney!!!
