I just love....

the fact that my daughter woke up this morning and wanted to watch the "Walt Disney Christmas Day Parade." She knows we have saved on the DVR. I love the fact she shrieks in excitement when she watches all the characters come down the street. How she screams "Arella" (this is her name for Cinderella) when she can see her on the float. And she also tells me that is it her. How sweet is that?

The love for Disney runs deep in our family. My husband refers to my sister and I as Disney freaks. We both become giddy with excitement the minute we hit the front gates. But who doesn't really? If your all "tough guy" when you hit the gates then you really aren't letting your inner child run free. That isn't healthy. ;) My brother has a Disney room in his house, I've had a Disney bathroom as well as my sister. Now my basement is on it's way to becoming a Disney basement.

But really...it almost brings tears to my eyes to see my daughter watch the parade. I can't wait to take her back to the Magic Kingdom. Hopefully within a year or so. :) Growing up my parents took all of us to Disney many times. Though I'll admit my first pic with Mickey I'm SCREAMING trying to get away from him. But since then I've been back many times. Each time even more excited and giddy to walk through the gate.

I promised Gracie we'd finish watching the parade once we got home tonight as she was crying when we left b/c she wanted to take the parade with her.

**pictures of the holidays and new yr's coming soon. I've had some issues with getting my pictures off my camera but finally conquered it so they are soon to come!
