Disney Cruise!

 In celebration of Paul and Darlene's 50th Wedding Anniversary they took us on a Disney Cruise over the Christmas holiday.  We had a blast!  It was just as Disney said it would be.... Magical!   We had so much fun and made tons of great memories.

 Here we are boarding the Disney Magic in Miami Florida.  We had so many favorites to our trip but a few of the highlights were the all you can eat french fries and ice cream (grandpa and the kids could not get enough!)  Coming back to our cabins at night and finding our towels had been folded into animals, free movies like the newly released Star Wars, AMAZING  live theater shows each evening and perfect weather!!

 The ship was completely decorated for Christmas.  This handmade gingerbread house was just one of the many amazing picture opportunities.  We had fun celebrating "Pirate Night"

 You never know what cool idea you might find on Pinterest.  We added a little more fun to our Christmas Eve celebration with these cute hair do's.

 They allow you to decorate the doors to your cabins.  The kids had fun making posters for Grandma and Grandpa during one of their afternoons in the Kids Zone area.  

 Christmas!!  The line to get a picture in front of the beautiful sky high tree was long but we finally got our shot!  A Christmas we will never forget!

 Snorkeling on Disney's private island Castaway Cay.  That sure felt good after the dads and kids finished the 5K earlier that morning.

A great surprise at the beginning of our trip was that we had been upgraded to rooms with balconies!! The views were amazing and it was a great place to dry our swimsuits as well!!  :)
