So Many Memories this Fall!!!

Wow, what a great October and November we had.  It started off with a sweet little girl's 1 year birthday and baptism.  Alex is such a ham and her little smile will melt your heart...well she isn't smiling in these pictures but trust me it is the sweetest.

Later in October we dressed up like Cowgirls and Cowboys for Halloween fun!
We always have a great time trick or treating with the Wilson clan.


 And then it was November...this is Ava's month - I mean really - she thinks the whole month is her birthday and ya know what, we pretty much treat the whole month as it is.

But this year was extra extra special and I don't know who was more excited for her birthday to come, her or me.  We went to Disney World for her b-day and stayed at "Dora's House" Double the Fun Right!!!  I can honestly say that we went from sun up to sun down but didn't exhaust ourselves trying to see it all, I think this is the first of many trips up to Disney, it was just GREAT!!!!

Here is a recap in pictures....lots of pictures:

DOWNTOWN DISNEY
 There was the coolest restaurant full of Dinosaurs, Ava loves dinos so we celebrated and sang happy birthday to her here.
 A fun ride on the Merry Go Round, Daddy doesn't do things that go round and round so I had the pleasure of riding solo with my girls.

And then we went for a special treat, the Bippity Boppity Boutique, if you are planning a trip with a little princess, you must get reservations for this place it is so special.
 The Before....

 The After...the sweetest little Snow White Ever

MAGIC KINGDOM
 When we walked in and saw the castle, Ava was in awe
 and all of the rides that were just her size...."totally awesome."  Another tip, nighttime is the best time to go.  We were able to just stay on the ride and ride it again and again - perfect for this little one.
 We saw so many Disney characters but these were some of the best pics.

MAGIC KINGDOM Day 2
 Notice anything that looks the same in these pics...yep Ava wore her dress two days in a row....Oh well it is her birthday month.
 Meeting SnowWhite!

 Love love love
 Meeting all of the other princesses was great too.  I was reminded several times that we missed a few of them, but the lines were just too long.
 Alex is not usually afraid of anything but she was not a huge fan of all of the characters.


DISNEY DANCE PARTY

So funny I have to tell, during the middle of the day, they had a big dance party and parade at Disney.

During the parade Ava was having so much fun watching everything but was not about to join in on the street with the rest of the kiddos, until another Snow White danced by.  Ava jumped out into the street grabbed this sweet little Snow White's hand and off they went.  I followed a safe distance behind with the other Snow White's mom :0.


 Since Snow White has a cape on the back of her dress, Ava told us she is supposed to run around the castle to make her cape fly, so run we did.

A Dream is a Dream your heart makes.......

HOLLYWOOD PARK
Two sweet pics from Hollywood Park.  This was the only other park we went to and it was nice.  Not big, not crowded but filled with things for Ava, Adam, and even Alex.  The Indiana Jones show is there and Disney Jr. is there.


"DORA'S HOUSE"
We stayed at the Nick Hotel in Orlando.  It was not a hotel I would choose on an adult vacation but if your little one loves Nickelodeon it is a great place.  Mainly because of DORA!!!!!

She had a birthday breakfast with Ava and even brought her friends along to celebrate...


 
We spent one day of our trip relaxing and resting by the pool....
 
THANKSGIVING
November ends with Thanksgiving and another celebration of Ava's birthday with my family.  


 And of course Dora came to this birthday too...and she tasted so great!!!!

Another thing that is now a must each time we make the long haul up to Spearman is a ride and visit with Willie.  Ava is in love with this little horse.  Alex took a ride on Willie too but she preferred the wagon over the horse.

 And we will end this post with that sweet smile I mentioned at the beginning!!!!
