For the evening of my birthday we went back to Epcot for one last lap around the Food and Wine Festival. While there I decided to get some henna on my arm. Samantha also wanted some. Here is the design that I got…

And here is Samantha’s design…

For Nathan’s Christmas present I bought him the Around the World Segway Tour at Epcot. Here is Nathan and me on our Segways…

That pretty much ended this trip to Disney. We spent the last of our time relaxing and enjoying the pool and jacuzzi! :)

November 8 was my birthday… Now you know how far behind I am! :) I planned lunch at Cinderella’s Castle because I like the food there. Of course doing that gives you pictures with Cinderella. Here is a picture of the kids with Cinderella…

While you are eating all of the princesses visit you. Here are the kids with Snow White…

With Sleeping Beauty, Aurora, Briar Rose, whichever you like….

With Jasmine…

And with Belle…

The kids wanted to go back on the teacups. This time Nathan came and he was doing the spinning so I snapped some pictures of Samantha and Josh enjoying the ride. Timmy was sitting out with my mom…

Next we walked through Mickey’s house. Here are the kids posing in the garden…

After lunch at Hollywood Studios we decided to walk around a bit and get Josh some more autographs and pictures. While we were waiting in line for Buzz Lightyear and Woody the kids were entertaining themselves. Here they are pretending to be in the grab game with the aliens…

Next Timmy and Josh strapped Samantha to a rocket…

Then Josh strapped Timmy to the rocket…

Then it was finally our turn…

As soon as we got outside the kids spotted a green army man…

Next they found JoJo and Goliath….

The last character for the day were two of the characters from Little Einsteins. Timmy decided he didn’t want to be in the picture…

Nathan decided he wanted a little fun before he completely shaved down the huge beard. So… he went with mutton chops for a couple of days. You should have seen his smile when someone at Epcot came up to him and told him he had some “Epic Chops”!…

This post will be pretty random on pictures because I don’t take pictures at all the parks anymore because we have been so many times. Here is Joshua in Norway. He wanted to pose with the big troll…

Here is a picture of my mom and I on our Segways when we went on the Ford Wilderness Segway Tour. This was my Christmas present to her…

Here are the kids at the front of Epcot posing by the decor for the Food and Wine Festival…

The kids decided to go to Journey to Imagination and while there they took a picture with the Kodak lady. She gave Samantha a pair of glasses and gave both of the boys lab coats to wear…

While Nathan was away to Denver my mom and I took the kids to lunch in Japan. They love Japanese food and since Nathan doesn’t it seemed like a good time to try it out. I ordered the boys kid’s meals. They came in what I thought was a monorail. I later found out it was a special train in Japan. Here is a picture of the dish the lunches were served in…

Josh liked his so much that he talked my mom into buying him one for his Christmas present to take home.:)

Here is the funny part of November at Disney. As soon as Halloween is over, the Christmas decorations go up. Here is the Christmas tree at the front of Hollywood Studios…

We also took the kids out to the 50’s Prime Time Cafe for lunch while Nathan was gone. Here is one of the Christmas trees in the lobby…

They were missing their dad so they set a spot at the table for him…

This Halloween I decided that each of the kids should have something special for their costumes. This started because I was going to let Timmy get his hair spiked at the barber shop on Main Street. Here is Timmy’s hair…

Samantha and Josh both had their faces painted. Here is Samantha’s fairy paint…

Joshua had his face painted like a pirate since he was Captain Hook…

Here is Nathan with his beard in full pirate mode…

The kids wanted to go on the teacups and since I was the only one willing to go with them I had Nathan take pictures. So… here is a picture of ME with the kids in the teacup…

As I mentioned this time around Joshua was really into meeting characters. Halloween offered character greetings that they don’t usually have or that I have never noticed. The first characters that we noticed that we haven’t seen before was Peter Pan and Wendy. Peter Pan had a great time bothering Timmy for dressing like him….

Here are the kids with Rafiki and King Louie (both I have seen out before)…

And here they are with Tarzan and Turk. I think this is the first time I have ever seen Tarzan…
