Magic.

Disney World was just incredible. It wasn't so much that the parks were great... everyone knows they are. It's the fun we had with family, forging memories that will be forever remembered and treasured. The pictures below don't even come close to doing the trip justice. SOOOO much happened during the times between the snapping of each photo. We laughed, we cried, we squealed, we felt sick, we felt great, we smiled, we were frustrated, we were relaxed, we were overwhelmed... but most importantly, we were all together. The only thing wrong with the trip is that it went by WAY too fast - and we could have done without the random illnesses that occurred. Other than that, there's not much I would have changed. Enjoy the pics and check Beth's Blog, too, because she'll have some more up to see soon.

Love to all!

Day 1 - Princess Breakfast in Cinderella's Castle and Magic Kindom

During the big ceremony, they waved their magic wands and made wishes. It was very cute!

This face is what we went to see. Sure, a week at Disney is very expensive, but seeing the look of sheer wonder on the faces of 7 precious children over and over again is just priceless.

Mary Poppins stopped by. Their absolutely LOVED getting all the cast members' autographs.

Jasmine (right before Sophie grabbed her boob and wouldn't let go;) Can you blame her? It was pretty sparkly.
