the happiest place on earth...

seriously... the BEST day at disney... EVER!!!

we didn't wait in ANY lines!! there was no one there. we rode space mountain twice in a row...

james and daddy waited while nora got to see the princesses...

i can't even describe to you nora's reaction seeing the "princesses". she was enamored of them, in awe and wonder, amazed. she couldn't stop staring. she LOVED snow white. she stared at her the whole time.

you went in and got to see them, and they spent time with each kid...

she was so sweet with nora. just chatted with her. can you see how excited my little girl is? it was so cute!!

look at how she stands talking to them. utter amazement...

check out how fast she is running to cinderella...

break my heart right now. she just LOVED them!!! could barely speak when they asked her name and age...

james had a great nap during nemo...

nora got to play "pinano" at goofy's house...

nora rode her first roller coaster and LOVED it!!! we rode it THREE times!!!

i love my cute husband!

my sweet girl and her sweet mom-mom...

awaiting seeing princess jasmine.

she kept saying, "it's jasmine and aladdin, like on my dvd".

again, enamored of her. however, when asked her name, she told them, "snow white".

she also gave aladdin a hug afterwards... but LOVED jasmine!

she wasn't so sure about tigger, however.

or pooh...

i got her to give high fives to each of them.

sweet boy finally woke up!

and got a free ride from daddy!!!

and we ended the evening posing by the castle. okay, seriously a FABULOUS day!! we drove up earlier in the day on tuesday so that the kids could go to bed at 7pm. we got up, had breakfast, then walked over to the park. NO ONE was there. there were really no lines. i think we waited MAYBE 10 minutes for peter pan. that was the most all day. we walked onto most rides. we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. i think it was the perfect storm of supposed to rain (it didn't... we bet on that), and the lull between the holidays and spring breaks.

also, went for a run tonight. felt so good. i told my dentist today (who is a big runner/marathoner) that i did my first half. he asked when i was going to do a full one. i said i didn't think i had a desire to do one. he told me, "you don't really feel that... accomplishment until you do a full marathon". awesome. thanks dude!

i actually felt an overwhelming amount of accomplishment!!!
