January 2013

January 2013 was a fun month.

We went to the Zoo with M! It was Ev's first time and the big kids were able to feed the giraffes.

 We went back to Disney for Miss E's 5th birthday! We had breakfast with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Eeyore. This is one of my favorite pics~ the looks on their faces when Ev takes a bite of Tigger's nose is priceless. 

 

Part of the big birthday celebration was a princess makeover in Cinderella's Castle at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique. Miss E was so excited. Here she is as Sleeping Beauty. 

 

We ran into a villain named Gaston in Fantasyland. I know Kris will tell you that Gaston is a hero, but that is simply not true. This Gaston was absolutely perfect. He saw Miss E and said, "Even royalty comes to visit Gaston. So, you're that princess who is always sleeping... must me dreaming of me."

 

She replied, "Not yet."

 

He pondered that, laughed, and repeated, "Not yet."  

 

Miss E told him that he was her daddy's favorite character. When he noticed how muscular Kris was, he mentioned that K must be eating four dozen eggs to stay that size, but suggested that he eat five dozen to be as large as Gaston.

 

As we left, he said "Au revoir! That's French for 'get out of here.' " It was hilarious.

The magical moment that our Princess Aurora met the "real" Aurora. I teared up a bit.

The littlest member of Team Williams is a huge Mickey Mouse fan.  Of course we had to visit with him as well.

J went to the Jedi Training Academy at Hollywood Studios where he battled Darth Vader!

Ev won't let a little thing like not being able to read stop him from checking out the park map and planning our next Disney adventure!

(Not sure why I can't delete that duplicate picture of us at the zoo.)

 

January also brought about the beginning of the basketball and cheer leading season. Here is our adorable little cheer leader.

 

And our veteran basketball player!
