Pretty as a princess

Ok -- it's only been - what? - 2 1/2 months since our Disney Cruise... and I am just now getting to the pictures?!? I guess I did not really want to face the reality that the glorious vacation was over.... At any rate, here is the first of likely several posts dedicated to The Magic.
In these photos, you can see that Jaiden had the chance to mingle with some Disney princesses, namely Cinderella, Belle and Snow White! Her favorite is actually Sleeping Beauty (AKA Brier Rose; AKA Aurora), who, unfortunately, did not make an appearance. No matter! She had an awesome time!

Little Beauty and Belle

Jaiden had a 5-year-old girl's dream breakfast at the Norway pavilion at EPCOT a few days before Christmas. Of course, Mom, Dad, Sean and I had a great time, too. But Jaiden was all smiles (and a little shy) as she met and talked with Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine, Mary Poppins and Mulan and got their pictures and autographs.

Halloween Tricks and Treats

We live in a neighborhood full of kids. In fact, on one of the streets, every house has kids. So, we expected more than a handful of trick-or-treaters to stop by for candy. Sadly.... our Halloween House spooked very few folks last night. In fact, besides us, probably only 12 other people saw it! The weird thing is, when Jaiden, Sean and I went trick-or-treating, we saw 100's of kids and parents wandering about the streets! I guess our unfinished little cul-de-sac was too dark and sinister to attract much Halloween activity!

At least WE had fun with it! Sean did all the decorations... and I mean all the decorations. I put up the cute little ghosties around the door, and he did all the rest. Jaiden thought it was pretty spooky, and since she was a beautiful princess, she was the only thing that didn't fit in with the ghoolish decor! Me, as a mummy, and Sean as a mummy... or whatever... fit the part, maybe too well!
