Playing Catch-Up

Wow - I have not had a blog post in a month! A MONTH! Like everyone else, we have been running around crazy trying to keep up! I hope everyone had a joyous Christmas Holiday! So, here is my attempt (in a few posts) to summarize our month of December. Here we go..

Saturday, December 12th:
Sweet Sarah comes to visit so where is the best place to go when she is in town!? Disney World of course! Sarah also has friends in Orlando so she stayed with them and then we drove over on Saturday to meet her in Orlando then headed on to Disney.
I think Spencer actually knew Sarah before I did. They were neighbors at Baylor for a year and then Sarah and I met when we both joined the same major - Sports, Sponsorship and Sales. We were pretty much instant friends. Sarah was in our wedding - she is a really good friend! She lives in Houston and runs marathons! Like 2 or 3 a year. I know, she is crazy. Ha just kidding Sarah! :)
Sarah is probably one of the best Disney partners you could ever have - besides Spencer of course! :) We have the same mentality when it comes to Disney - make a list of things you want to do, then map out the quickest routes to maximize time and be at the park from open to close.

The park was so beautiful. Everything was decorated Christmas and it was truly the best Disney experience ever. We went to Magic Kindgom and Hollywood Studios. At Hollywood they had the Osbourne Family Lights or something like that - it was so cool! Here is the video we took.....sorry it is kinda wobbly....




Jim Shore was at the Magic Kingdom signing autographs! But you had to buy something for him to sign it and of course I was being cheap so I didn't buy anything. Now I wish I would have! Oh well :)
We got there when the park just opened and stayed until it closed, at 1 am. Let's just say it was a long drive back to Jacksonville. By the time we got to the parking lot, dropped off Sarah and got gas, we weren't on the road until 2 am and got home around 4 am! It really was the best Disney trip we have had. We even got to see my cousin, Steven! He works in the Magic Kingdom!
Here are a few pictures...
