Home again home again

We are home from our vacay and quite happy to be!! Here is a recap of the last few weeks:

Dec 18 My mamamcita came from Utah
Dec 19 I watched Nate for a little bit then we finished up some Christmas shopping with my mom
Dec 20 Chris's dad and his wife came to Nashville, so we all went out to dinner and then came back here to visit
Dec 21 GOT SEALED!!! :)
Dec 22 I can't remember what we did, but we were busy-I know that!
Dec 23 We went to church and then delivered friend gifts.
Dec 24 I took my mama to the airport and cried my eyes out. Then I hung out with the kids while Chris did his traditional Christmas eve shopping, then we all went to see the movie "Enchanted"
Dec 25 opened gifts-Addi and Mason each got a Nintendo DS and Kannon got an excersaucer. Chris and I weren't going to exchange gifts, but he spoiled me anyway and gave me a flat screen monitor and a Wacom tablet. I did give him a few little things, like a CD, and some fun stuff for his new office, but as usual, he went above and beyond. After gifts we went to Joanna and Jason's for YUMMY breakfast of eibleskeivers and a Phase 10 rematch (I am still the reining champion...hehehe). When we got home, we put all of our Christmas stuff away and packed our bags.
Dec 26 We were going to get up at 3:00am but I messed up the alarm and we got up at 5:00am. We put the last bags in the van and left for Disneyworld. We got there at around 9:30pm. It was a LOOOOOOONG day. We stayed in the Pop Century Hotel-a celebration of pop culture. It was pretty cool with a huge computer, big wheel, a foos ball area, cell phone, walkman, playdough, bowling pins and more. It was a little overwhelming but neat too.
Dec 27 We were totally pooped so we slept in. When we finally got up we took the shuttle to Magic Kingdom. There were a gazillion people there and we arrived right when the parade was going by and Addi couldn't see the princesses so she completely melted down. It was super hot too, and we were all unprepared for the weather and had pants on. So we quickly decided to leave and go to Walmart to get supplies. I am a terrible navigator and what should have been a 20 min drive to walmart ended up taking 1.5 hrs. In my defense, it wasn't just the bad directions I was giving, traffic was terrible too. We got a bunch of shorts and sandals so we could survive the heat and humidity. When we finally got back to our hotel, we just let the kids swim in the hotel pool. It felt so wrong to be sitting beside the pool, in the dark, watching my kids swim with Christmas carols playing. Weird!
Dec 28 We went swimming in the morning to stay cool, then went to Epcot in the afternoon. It was getting dark by the time we got there and I was a little freaked out by the darkness. I think they could use some more lighting there. Anyhoo, we visited the different countries, which was pretty cool. At the end of the night, there was a huge fireworks show that scared the crap out of Mason. It will be a funny inside joke for our family for years to come.
Dec 29 After a morning swim, we went to Animal Kingdom. Once again, there were a million people there and we weren't able to go on the safari. But we did take a train ride to a different area of the park where I swear I saw Jill Hennessey (the lady that plays Jordan on Crossing Jordan on TV) . Chris didn't believe me, but whatever! I'm sure she thought I was stalking her because I kept taking pictures and stuff, but oh well.
Dec 30 We went to MGM. I have 2 words for that day: HOT and CROWDED!! We did manage to see Stich, Buzz, Woody, Kim Possible and a really cool stunt car show.
Dec 31 We checked out (I thought I made the reservations until 1-1 but I made a mistake and we checked out a day early) and went to Downtown Disney. Mason and Chris went to Lego Land, where Mason got some cool Spongebob Legos. Addi and I went to the "Bibbity Bobbity Boutique". Addi was going to get all dolled up there, but it cost a ton of money. So we just bought the stuff and I dolled her up myself. She was so cute with her Belle dress, hair piece, crown, sparkles and lip gloss. Seeing her so happy and feeling so beautiful was worth the money. We left for home around 3:00pm. At midnight we were in Atlanta with all the drunk people and rang in the new year by eating some greasy goodness from Steak and Shake. We got home at 3:30am. It was a long day, but I was so happy to get home! We all were.

I haven't downloaded my 500+ pictures yet, but when I do, I'll post them.
