You all know how much my entire family means to me, and how I savor all the moments when we can ALL be together. Not some of us, not half of us...but ALL of us.
So, I thought of a way to get us ALL together again:
Food.
I LURED them all with FOOD.
And for the kids...games. Specifically Wii games. I threw a Wii party with LOTS of food and.....
THEY ALL CAME!!!
I was delighted. Everyone together in MY home.
Heaven.
So we had two systems going: Rock Band upstairs, and had Wii games on our big screen in the basement. Kids were running everywhere, adults were singing like they've never sung before, and I was totally in my element.
I had to play this song in honour of our rockin night.
(and kudos to Ashlee who took some great pictures. I think she got everyone. I was so excited that I almost forgot to take pictures, so sorry to those of you who are not in any! I'll do better next time, and there WILL be a next time!)
Alittle peek into our night:
Doesn't Billy look thrilled? I am not to the point where I can play Mario Cart one-handed yet. Impressive!

Florida....no better place.
I don't know about you, but having my husband and daughters completely to myself for 8 days is glorious. Could life be any better that? For me...no. It really can't.
I miss Florida.
I miss the first sight of knowing we are finally there...the welcome center:
I miss the 80 degree weather we had and playing poolside:
Whose the hottie? My husband, thats who.
I miss Downtown Disney...and buying coffee from Ghirardelli that was way to expensive, but we were on vacation, so we bought it anyway:
I miss Disney's Hollywood Studios...and oh how I wish I could relive going on "tower of terror" with baby Darby...who was so brave the whole time!
I miss Blizzard Beach;
Most of all, I miss Magic Kingdom. You can't have four daughters and not go there. You can't NOT eat breakfast in Cinderella's castle with all the princesses....you can't. (6th year eating there and counting...)
Ok, don't want to rub it in, but I'm going to. THIS is a huge reason why we go to Disney in January...eat your heart out spring-breakers:
I can't wait to get back there....I am already planning for next year. I am already feeling the excitement over the anticipation of it....and each time we go, it just gets better and better.
