Miniature Golf at Disney: Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course

I have lived in the Orlando-area for over 16 years, and ya'll know I go to Disney World all the time.  But, I have never gone there to play miniature golf.  This was a first for us!  And I can't wait to go again.

We played on the Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course, located near Blizzard Beach.  We had our choice of playing on the sand course or the snow course.  We chose the snow (Winter) course.  The course was  cutely decorated, and there are some surprises along the way.  And, of course, lots of great Christmas music!






Because I know someone will ask....prices are $12.00 per 18-hole round for adults, and $10.00 for children 3 to 9 years of age. Learn more HERE.

A twist on Halloween cookies: Halloween Cookie Pizza

Halloween Cookie Pizza






Here's my version...I added a layer of chocolate frosting on top
of the peanut butter, yummo:

 

I found this great idea today on Pillsbury.com-- it's a Halloween Cookie Pizza!! yummo.

I think it's a great alternative to cut-out Halloween cookies. My kids and I plan to make it this weekend.

Christmas pajamas for my kiddos

Every year my kids get new pajamas at Christmas time; it's a family tradition.  My mom used to give us new pajamas on Christmas Eve, but I started giving my kids new pajamas on Thanksgiving. Actually, Gus the Elf delivers the pajamas! :)
 
Usually, it's easy to find cute pajamas, but as my kids get older, I am finding it harder and harder.  However, here are a few options I have found online so far:
 
Boys Printed PJ Sets
Old Navy Boys Printed PJs (above)
 
 
The Children's Place Snowman Fleece (green, pink or blue)
 
 
DisneyStore.com has a super cute set. 
 
Holiday Stripe  Family Set
Pajamagram has matching family sets (but are a little pricey than others).

UPDATE: Found these from Gymboree! So cute and come in bigger sizes too! yea.
Snowman Two-Piece Gymmies
 

Hmm, which do you like best???

 
 
And just because I love my kiddos, here are a few pictures of our Christmas pajamas in the past:

A quick trip to the pumpkin patch

We have a small church near our home that puts up an annual "pumpkin patch".  We stopped by today and my kids wanted to each pick a SMALL pumpkin...
