Disneyworld and the Cruise

This year for Christmas, Todd's parents took the whole family on a trip to Disneyworld and a cruise to the Bahamas. Quite a gift!!! Get ready for an overload of pictures!

When we first arrived in Florida it was freezing cold. I know, Florida....cold???? I didn't know I needed to pack my parka, but I should have. We were all so cold, but once we saw this beauty we were all really excited and the cold seemed to disappear. (At least for me anyway.) The Cinderella Castle was all decked out with sparkling lights that changed colors. I loved it.

Jill and Tyler were coming the next day from Memphis so we put in an order for gloves, hats, and thermals in order to survive the freezing cold temps. To stay warm this is what I wore: four shirts, two hoodies, two pairs of pants, and gloves. So if I look like I weigh 500 lbs, it's because I have a million layers of clothes on. I just couldn't get over hold cold it was, in Florida!!!

We spent the first day in Epcot, it was tons of fun.

Here are some more highlights from Disneyworld:

Tree of Life in the Animal Kingdom:

If you know me, you know I am not fond of mascots or people in costumes. I was a little scared to get my picture with Pluto, but I thought that I cannot come to Disneyworld without getting my picture with a character, so I did. But then Pluto started poking me in the chest. Hmmmm.... I think that he was pointing to something on my sweatshirt, but I'm sure he had ulterior motives, so I will stay clear of costumed people from now on.

Spinning on the Teacups:

Of course the day we were leaving the sun decided to shine and it wasn't too cold outside, so we were able to relax on the cute little beach at our hotel.

Next we set sail to the Bahamas.

Leaving the port.

We stopped in Nassau. Look at that water. So pretty!!!

Heading out to snorkel.

We rode a catamaran out into the ocean to go snorkeling. There was a net you could sit on and look at the water underneath you. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip.

Here we are snorkeling. The water was so clear, blue, and warm.

After we went snorkeling they dropped us of on a private island. It was paradise.

This trip was so fun, I cannot thank Todd's parents enough for taking us.
