Disneyworld...Day 2

The Buzz Lightyear ride was a FAVORITE of my boys -and they were SO excited to ride it again on Friday with their cousins, John & Luke!
This was right next to the Dumbo ride - we headed there first thing Friday morning and only had to wait in line for 15 minutes (normally a 2 hour wait!!!). What fun!! Here's all the grandkids together (Mary is holding Matthew, the rest of 'em are crowded in together!)
Waiting in line for Dumbo!
I LOVE this picture of me and my oldest sister Kim. Matthew was born 3 months after Callie - it is so fun having babies together!!!!!
BIG JACKPOT! During the Christmas parade that afternoon, there was a Toy Story float, complete with Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the Toy Soldier!!! Boys were Ecstatic!

Jacob and Josiah on the Winnie the Pooh ride...

Josiah and Luke - they walked through the park most of the morning hand in hand. Luke has such a tender heart and they just hit it off!

This "grocery list" was on Minnie's fridge in her house in ToonTown. Sounds like a good list to me!!! :) I LOVE cheese!
I mean! Cute or what??? I told Josiah he could choose one thing to buy at Disney World. About halfway through the 2nd day, he declared that he wanted Mickey Ears - I was so excited!!! Got their names on the back and everything - they were ADORABLE!
These little statues of Huey, Dewey, and Louis were right outside our hotel building. It was the All Star Sports resort, and each building of the resort was a different sport. Ours was called "Center Court" and the courtyard was a HUGE tennis court. Very cute!

Callie giving Mickey a kiss (lucky for me, it was a new Mickey fresh off his break, so I knew his nose was clean....not that it would have mattered, right?)
Jacob was emphatic about wearing his ears to show Mickey!

LOVE this picture of David and Callie!

It really was so beautiful with all the lights and decorations. This was Main Street. They even had snow machines (REAL snow) - it was so fun!
Cinderella during the nighttime lights parade. I have a bit of an obsession with her!
The castle at night - gorgeous. The colors changed too...amazing. Something like 200,000 lights on it for Christmas.
The boys were standing in the stroller watching the parade...awestruck.
David and Josiah riding the speedway together - the boys thought it was great that they could drive the cars themselves!

The best thing we did was do Disney in two days!!!! It was SO nice not feeling like we had to cram everything into one day. On Friday, Mom, Kelli & Scott, and Kristen went to Epcot and we stayed at Magic Kingdom. Epcot does a spectacular Christmas program complete with choirs and the reading from Luke 2. For my kids though, Magic Kingdom was a better fit for them for the day. Luckily for us, we were able to spend some of the morning with Kim & her kids. My boys were SO excited to get to ride some rides with their cousins - particularly Dumbo and Buzz Lightyear!!! Kim was a great help to me too - showing me which rides you can nurse babies on, etc!!! We enjoyed being able to spend the rest of the day just us Schrodts - and we had a ball! After lunch, we caught the Christmas parade and then headed back to the resort to take a nap. After 3 hour naps for everyone except me (why does that always happen?), we headed back to the park for more fun. It was just an amazing day.
