Disney 2009

On November 18th the original Leeper Clan...took the entire Leeper Clan...minus one brother-in-law and two nephews...plus one mother-in-law to Disneyworld
We had a wonderful but EXHAUSTING time. Here are a few of my favorite pictures out of over 200 taken!!


The plane ride...Molly and Charlie had both flown once before but Molly didn't remember it...she was super excited!
Gray and Charlie enjoyed cuddling with Daddy and Mamaw during the two hour flight. We had all gotten up very early to make it to Memphis on time!The first afternoon was spent at Magic Kingdom. We had very short wait times, and I'm very glad we went there first. By the time the Thanksgiving holiday crowd arrived, the wait times had gone from about 10-15 minutes to over an hour!! The rest of the days are a blur...not sure where we were on what day...not that it really matters!! Maps...double stroller...we're ready to go!
Molly and I rode Dumbo first!Molly was amazed at the dolls in "It's A Small World"
My nephew Drew was such a big help. My kids love him and he was more than willing to ride with Charlie when we needed him to. Here they are waiting on the show, "It's' Tough Being a Bug" at Animal Kingdom.
Christmas lights show at Hollywood Studios...very cool!The highlight of Charlie's vacation was definitely Jedi Training at Hollywood Studios. He had to wait in line over an hour hoping to get picked to get on stage to be trained by a Jedi Master. After that, he was ready to fight Darth Vader. He is a HUGE Star Wars fan and this experience was the only reason he wanted to go to Disneyworld. I'm so glad he got picked!




Listening intently to his instructions along the the other future Jedis...Practicing his light saber skills...Finally, the battle with Darth Vader...He said, "I sense the force is strong with this one" when Charlie walked up!One of his favorite characters...Darth Maul...a little scary to me!
Pretending to be a droid...



Gray was such a trooper! He took great naps in the stroller, and all you had to do when waiting in line was give him a dum-dum-sweet baby!!


Molly's favorite day...Norway Princess Breakfast...waiting with Elise to go in..

Fall Catch Up 2009

Boy am I behind...I haven't posted since Oct. 27th!!! I think this happened to me last year around this time. Once the holidays hit, blogging goes to the bottom of my priority list. However, we make lots of memories during this time that I don't want to forget. Here are some of my favorites from the fall...
A little Tupelo tailgaiting...notice the happy family picture..
A little pumkin and pajama partying....Molly's dance class Pumkin painting party


A little trick-or-treating....May the force be with you...

and last, but not least...a little trampoline light saber fighting=lots of static electricity!By the way...I truly do love my first born, but the child HATES getting his picture made!!Think these two are ready for Disney world?

to be continued....
