Two Graduations

Preschool Graduation May 20, 2010

Here is my fabulous little preschooler posing in her bumble bee shirt right before graduation!
A little video. Notice the adorable accent.

There's Lorelai on the far left! They did a great job!
This is what Reid did for most of Lore's graduation. It was so cute! He didn't misbehave until Lore got up at the end. He decided to see how far his cars would go on the cement floor.

Kindergarten Graduation- May 26, 2010

Evan did so great! They had the cutest little program. Evan was front and center so we had a good view of everything he did!

I was so glad they sang this song. Love it. Sorry about the crappy view. I forgot to zoom before I started recording and for some reason it wouldn't let me zoom while I was recording.




After graduation.
Top left to bottom right: Showing off his diploma (he had to wear the hat), our ice cream celebration at Cold Stone (only the best for our graduates), right after graduation with our good buddy Bella, and last but not least- Evan and his teacher Mrs. Ali Barber.

Characters

So many awesome characters! The only characters we really stood in line for were Mickey and friends and the princesses and fairies. We saw quite a few others though! Epcot turned out to be the best place to meet up with characters. We saw quite a few princesses and I don't think we stood in line for more than 5 minutes to see any of them!
Lorelai was so happy! All of the princesses were so sweet! I think they lived up to Lore's every expectation.
I missed Belle. Thank goodness Grandpa had his camera when they ran into her!
These guys were probably my favorite! I got my picture taken with them also, but it was blurry :(. I don't know why I love them so much. I guess I have always loved the idea that stuffed animals have there own world in which to live and play.
The kids thought they were pretty awesome too!Mickey and friends!
We even got Grandpa and Grandma to pose!
Pluto even signed Evan's hat!
Eric's all time favorite character.
Eric even left Goofy's signature in Canada on the table where everyone else decorated masks (and the table).
The rest is all Lorelai. If any of you have kids I think you absolutely need to take them to Disney World when they are four years old. It makes the entire trip worth every penny.

First up were the fairies. Lorelai assured Rosetta that she was a garden fairy. I think Lorelai especially loved her because she is the one with a southern accent.
She wasn't too sure about Tinkerbell. Tink has a loud personality and we love her for that, but it made Lore a little nervous to be in the picture alone.
Last was Silvermist. Lorelai told her that she was definitely a water fairy. The best part was when Silvermist sprinkled her with pixie dust. I think she floated a few inches off the ground right then and there! She wouldn't let me wash her hair for days afterward!
Later this same day Lorelai decided she needed to go see the Princesses. Belle, Cinderella, and Aurora were all waiting to see her! Belle was really fun and Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty were so sweet!
After meeting Sleeping Beauty Lore decided she wants to be her when she grows up. As they were talking Lorelai showed Aurora her hair. Aurora said her hair was so long and beautiful. Aurora said they must be sister's. Lore was in heaven.
When Aurora asked who Lore's best friend was she said Grandma Tucker. It was so cute! We had them all pose for a picture.

These last two pictures were from Magic Kingdom. They had a large area where character's came and danced with the kids. Lorelai would NOT leave! They all had so much fun!
And here is Lorelai's favorite character out of everyone she met...
Stitch was the hands down winner!

I wish these pictures could really show what an awesome time we had. I thought this was a great way to celebrate my parents big birthday's this year! Happy Birthday to both of you. Thanks for coming with us. It was absolutely magical!

Around the World in 80 pictures

Okay, I won't actually post 80. I could, but I won't.

Our first stop was Mexico! Inside was a busy market where they sold every kind of breakable you could think of. Reid made me very nervous, but he did great. Everything was amazing and beautiful.
The kids decorating their masks.
The finished product. (Reid was still working on his)
Testing the maraca's :)
The buildings were so amazing.
The cute Japanese woman that told the kids stories.
The view from Japan. Reid was trying to figure out why Eric and I kept posing without him.
We had to have America in there too!
A spectacular view of Paris. :)
