Disney on Ice

Why hello there! Remember us - the people who once posted every single day? To say that times have changed from then would be an understatement! Our life has become blissfully ordinary so on most days there isn't much to say - and we're not complaining! In fact, this month we're planning to wrap up the blog and shut it down, we're just having a hard time planning our goodbyes. We have so much to say to all of you and it's sad to see things end. But anyway, we'll worry about that another day! Today we'll tell you about the wonderful day we had last Saturday!

As one of their Christmas gifts, Crackers and Nana got the kids tickets to Disney on Ice. We didn't realize until we arrived at the arena that our seats were front row and we were right on the ice. It was awesome!
 When we arrived at the arena we let the kids each choose a souvenir and a snack. Lily chose a stuffed Ariel and Charlie a stuffed Towmater and they got a soft pretzel and popcorn. See that box of popcorn in the picture? It cost $8. $8!! Charlie was pretty happy with it though so I guess it was worth it ;)
 Charlie and Lily loved the show. LOVED. Lily kept laughing and saying, "I'm having so much fun!" They waved to all the characters and got plenty of waves back.
 This was Charlie's favorite part. The cars drove all around the ice and he was thrilled.
 Hamm the pig waved to Lily and she's still talking about it.
 (And speaking of Disney, we're going to Disney World in August with MomMom Anne and PopPop Fred! This month we're able to start making our dining reservations and planning any special activities, so if you have any recommendations or suggestions we'd love to hear them!)

 Anyhow, after Disney on Ice the fun wasn't over for Charlie and Lily. We headed right to Maggie Moo's for their very best friend Grace's 4th birthday party. We met Grace when Charlie and Lily started preschool and realized that Grace and her family live just one street over from us. Since then we've spent lots of time with Grace and her wonderful family, so the kids were super excited for her party, which kicked off with a little dancing.

 The kids then headed to the back where they learned how to make ice cream. After that they went behind the counter and mixed up their own creations.
 The ice cream was a hit, but the arrival of Maggie Moo was even more exciting! There was more dancing and some limbo action.
The party ended with a game of "catch the flying ice cream." Yes, they actually threw real ice cream, which in my opinion was a terrible waste of perfectly good ice cream, given the amount that ended up on the floor...
 Finally, Team Three Cheers for Babies is back in action for the 2013 March for Babies! Please check out our TEAM PAGE to make a donation or join us for the walk!

Disney World!! Awesome. You need to have a meal at Chef Mickey's. it is a buffet with the classic characters. It's a great way to meet them with no lines. Other meal suggestion is to get a Crystal Palace breakfast reservation for 8:00 am. You get into Magic Kingdom before the masses and can happily take pictures of a deserted Main Street and the castle without hordes of people in them!

I second Chef Mickey and Crystal Palace...perfect for the kids. Also, 1900 Park Fare and Garden Grill...fabulous character places! Enjoy DIsney, there is nothing like seeing it through your children's eyes! Be prepared to cry from joy, it's amazing to watch them be thrilld!

Awww I will be sad to see you go but how lovely is it to have a normal life? My own little 25w6d twins, born a couple of weeks after yours, are thriving too. Isn't it lovely to be just another family?

Like your blog truly said but for,Diet and hormonal balance has direct impact on the fertility of the body, so the recommended diet plan in the Pregnancy Miracle Guide will not only sweep away the infertility but will also give you the healthy strong body that’s required to sustain this modern lifestyle.
