Magic Kingdom

When we were in DC, Scott and I talked about Christmas and getting something for everyone that would add to our trip. My top two choices were bikes and Disney World. But it didn't look like we could afford either, and definitely not both! Honestly, one day, I decided to pray and lay my two big desires before the Lord and let Christmas work itself out.

I still don't know if God specifically cares whether or not my family has bikes or goes to Disney. Those both seemed like selfish requests from a family who has already been extremely blessed with this amazing opportunity to travel the country as we have. Nevertheless, we have been granted both: bikes for Christmas and Disney now. We are so grateful for and amazed at His provision!

The whole situation reminds me of my silly-high-school-girl list of what I desired in a husband. Though part of it was to be praised, part of the list seemed silly, and nevertheless the whole list is fulfilled in my dear husband (and his mother...also on the list!)

How the Lord cares for His children!

So about Disney...

Jo and Kik last did Disneyland when they we're 5 and 6 respectively with grandma. Ky was almost 1 and Sy hasn't been  ever. So for the most part this was really a brand new experience! So fun!

Flying carpets (Sy calls them flying couches. Having not seen Aladdin, he does not realize that the couches are nothing special! They have been placed on flying carpets.)

Sy was dog-tired til we refilled him! :)

Waiting in line is nothing like when I was a kid! Always some computer game to play!

We explored EVERYHING. Shops, rides, & shows. I thought they might be too old to have that first magical experience, but all of us thoroughly enjoyed everything the park had to offer.
