January 2017 – Seven Friarys

We just got back from spending 5 days at the happiest place on earth. Walt Disney World! This was a very last minute trip. I looked at Jon on December 29th and said “we should go to Disney, I just found a great deal”. He looked back at me and said “book it”. We NEVER do things like that so it made it a little more exciting 🙂

I was a little nervous about taking Beckett on the plane and how he would act in a stroller all day in the parks. He ended up being PERFECT on the plane and LOVED every minute being in the parks. I think I have another Disney baby in the house.

Disney Photos:

I LOVE that Lucy wanted to buy an autograph book and meet the characters. Sometimes I forget that she’s still only a little girl. I’m surrounded by all these older girls and she always seems to be in the mix. We stopped and let her meet whoever she wanted and made sure that all of her sweet 8 year old Disney wishes came true.

Epcot is still one of my favorite places!!

Even though we only had about 15 days to plan our vacation we were very lucky to pull up O’hana reservations. I tried multiple times a day and luckily someone cancelled.

We ate a LOT of shrimp! Haha!

And for anyone who doesn’t believe in Disney magic…. it helped this little boy to FINALLY start sleeping through the night

Thank you, DISNEY!!

A few more photos:

80 degrees and sunny every day we were there. Perfect way for us to break up a snowy January

I uploaded all my Christmas photos from my camera last night and they were terrible. Like, laugh out loud terrible. I can’t let any more time go by without posting Christmas so I’ll just use the pictures from my phone (which aren’t much better)

This Christmas season seemed to go by quicker than any of the other years. Probably because we constantly go nonstop.

The kids do their sibling gift exchange on Christmas Eve

This is the first Christmas ever that we didn’t go to mass. I have felt guilty ever since but I knew Beckett would’ve been terrible. We ended up ordering out and watching Christmas movies. Lucy read T’was the Night Before Christmas to us

I tried to get a picture of al 5 kids by the tree

That didn’t work

Then it was off to bed so Santa could come

Beckett’s favorite gift was the fire truck

The girls also got everything on their lists but no pictures. Remember up above where I said the pictures came out terrible? Ha!!

We had a great day with Brian, Marlene, Liz and Sydney

My parents came up at night, stayed in town and then came for breakfast the next day. Megan got a waffle maker so we had that and cinnamon rolls that Tracey sent up. Thanks, Tracey!!
