Christmas Morning

My son has hit the "Superhero" stage. He loves "Marvel" guys - SPiderman, Captain America, the Hulk, etc. He got so much of this for christmas! Figures, toothbrush, Spiderman shoes, Spiderman watch, crayons, etc!
My sweet girl is really into Hello Kitty (she got the camera & art projector) and Little Pet shop, but occaisonally is still in love with Dora.





Christmas Eve!

Me and the kids before mass: Santa's stash (the kids each get 3 gifts from Santa to represent the 3 wisemen)

The kids' tree (their fun ornaments and school-made ornaments):
My tree (more formal):Stockings are filled!

Lights at Hollywood Studios

On Monday, we took the kids to Disney's Hollywood Studios for the Osborne Spectacle of Lights! As always we had a great time! We got there before the lights were turned on so had plenty of time to see characters and shop.

I fell in love with this cute window display:

We had dinner at 50's Prime Time (keep your elbows off the table!)


And the lights!!...
My son was in AWE! He loved it all.

Grinchmas Show at Islands of Adventure


Yesterday, we went to Islands of Adventure and Univesal Studios. It was a fun 10 hours!! The kids really loved the "Dr Seuss" world which was decked out for the holidays with the Grinch and the Who's!The Grinch was mean and nasty. He told the kids to "Shut up", they thought it was funny.
Do you recongize Allyson and Dave?
(We laughed at this photos because we look like swingers, ha. The couples are all switched up!)

Santa's Wonderland (at Bass Pro Shops)


Last week, my dad called to tell me about something new at Bass Pro Shops. We have a location here in Orlando, so I went online to get more information and found out about "Santa's Wonderland". It's a fun, festive zone for kids which includes crafts (coloring, writing a letter to Santa and making ornaments), games (shooting practice and toy trains) and pictures with the big guy himself! The kids (and I!) really loved it. I hope you can check it out yourself.

Epcot's Food & Wine Fest 2010

On Sunday we took a ride over to Epcot's Food and Wine Fest. "Ireland" had great beer, Guinness!

Hubby grabbed a pretzel and Pilnser at Germany.

The crowd was thick but the lines moved fast. We didn't taste much since we had the kids with us, but two of my favorites were the crab cakes at "Hops and Barley" (by America) and the Seared Beef with Sweet Potato Puree at "South Africa" (near Germany).

Who is Duffy? New at Epcot!


Who is Duffy the Bear? He's the new character at Walt Disney World's Epcot. Mickey was given a teddy bear by Minnie before a sea voyage. She named him "Duffy" since Mickey was taking a duffle bag on the trip.
(You can learn more by reading these four story boards.)
Duffy is available for autographs; he is very huggable:
You can buy clothes for Duffy at various shops in Epcot, and color him at the "KidCot" stations. If you are familiar with Disney's "My First Disney Bear" (seen below), Duffy looks very similar. You can buy Duffy Rice Krispie treats...or Duffy chocolaty cups!
What do you think of Duffy?
