Halloweenie Eve

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Halloween is around the corner so to get into the October spirit and retrieve candy early, we went to Mickey's Halloweenie party at Magic Kingdom.

I love any kind of holiday decor!

Haunted Mansion

Firework show

Disney's Magic Kingdom has the best firework shows. IThe finale was the ultimate! It was so bright Lil had to cover her eyes.

After so much excitement, Lillicans was pooped out.

Mickey's famous saying...

..."See ya real soon!"

Fortunately we left with candy in our bags!!! For the first hour we were eating our candy as fast as we received it from the trick-or-treating lines. :) Yum!

Cinderella

Ok I'm so proud of this costume not because I found it at Target but had a hand with special help in altering it. I know you are thinking big wuppee but that's huge for me! I don't even know how to sew on a button. The dress originally came with pink stuff on it but it definitely didn't look right. So, off with the pink and added more blue fluff! My neighbor helped with her hand sewing skills to fashion together the headband. The only thing I forgot to put on were the gloves. Oh well, Lil still looks like a princess!

As soon as the music turns on, Lillicakes can't help but move! She was even awarded with the BEST bracelet for such excellent dance skills :)

Day 4, 5, 6: Orlando Temple, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, & Florida Keys

Early Friday morning, Mama and Tom accompanied me to the LDS Orlando Temple. There I went through for the first time. What an amazing experience! I'm so grateful for the plan of salvation and love that FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!

Florida Keys

There wasn't much beach at the Keys but it was definitely something we had to see with our own eyes to check off the bucklist.

South Beach Miami

The highlight of the trip...

...white sand beaches and warm clear blue ocean water

Thank you for coming to visit and playing with us! Time went by way too fast. We love you Mama Oma and Uncle Tom!
