They're HERE! They're HERE!

Ok, Ok, so not ALL of my "Hot Mama" friends are here in town, but 3 of our girls came into town from various places. Holly and her family are staying with us after a looong drive from Canada, while Beth and kaylee rented houses for their families on the Disney side of town. I know yall are stalking me for pictures, so I will try not to bore you with the details.

Holly, Markus, Lilly, and Lukas arrived on Sunday afternoon and the kids hit it off right away! We headed to Downtown Disney, despite the rain, for some dinner at T-Rex (would recommend this, and the wait was only 15 minutes!) After a yummy dinner and some texts, we were excited to meet up with Beth and Aiden! We were hoping to get all the families together before the week got crazy, but Kaylee's family each took a turn with the stomach bug, and Beth's hubby stayed in with the other kids since it was late and rainy. Beth, Holly, and I got a plan of attack for the week and thankfully we were all agreeing that "flexibility" was the key :) Cramming 27 people into one restaurant or on one ride was not gonna happen, so we figured we would meet up in the parks as often as we could, but knew we were all getting together at our house on Thursday, so if we missed each other in the parks, or didnt see fireworks together, it wasnt the end of the world.
Sunday night pics:

Sunday night, we headed back to our house with Holly & Co., and were completely shocked when Holly asked, "Hey guys...can you pack a bag?"..we stared at her, confused, before she asked again, "Ya know...bags for an overnight? Can you pack some?" More confusion from me and Eric. So she conitnued, "Well, I hope you can pack some bags for an overnight because Markus and I booked you a room at the Contemporary for tomorrow night."  WHAT!? Yes. They booked us a room at one of the nicest resorts on Disney property...just for us.....WHAT!? We couldnt be more grateful or shocked! haha We were able to stay and play all day at the parks, take the monorail back to our room for showers, some rest, and some dinner, and then head back to the parks with a refreshed, happy Whitney to meet Princess Lilly (who had dinner with her Princess friends Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, and Jasmine after spending the afternoon getting pampered at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique!) and her brother, Prince Lukas, for some fireworks and the light parade. What a great end to a wonderful day!!

Our room at the Contemporary looked right out over the water....gorgeous :)

Lilly and Lukas liked the show in front of The Castle!

Whitney wasnt sure about the teacups at first, but ultimately decided it was fun :)

The carousel was another story though...she was okay for about 2 seconds...and right after this picture was taken, she lost. her. mind. No carousels in our near future...

We took pictures with Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen, and knowing that they are Brooklyn and Mandy's FAVORITES, we had to make a sign for them...

..."Hi Brooklyn! Wish you were HERE! Love, Lilly and Whitney (and their mommies)"

Many times throughout the day, we said "I wish the other Hot Mamas were here, too.."

After Tiana and Naveen, we watched the parade on Main Street right before the rain and lightning started.

So we headed back to our room (Thanks again, Holly and Markus!!!) for a nap (Whitney was WIPED OUT!), a shower, and some YUMMY dinner at our favorite restaurant, California Grill, on the 15th floor of the Contemporary. (We have tried multiple times to get into California Grill and are always told there is no availability....we walked right in on Monday night...no wait, no line, no problems....loved it!)

After dinner, we went back to Magic Kingdom for the Spectromagic Parade and the fireworks (my FAVORITE). Lilly and Lukas crashed pretty quickly, but Whitney was hangin' tough and loving the excitement!

Whitney does "Cheers!" now and got countless compliments at dinner :)

Daddy bought Whitney her first Disney balloon and she LOOOVED it! (Too bad it popped in our car the next day :( )

Holly has a ridiculous number of pitures of Princess Lilly, but this was the best one I got :(

Whitney liked the parade, but she LOOOVED when Mickey showed up on a float towards the end!

Whitney trying to photo-bomb our self-portrait before the fireworks :)

Finale Fireworks!

After a GREAT night's sleep, we were up and at 'em for more fun on Tuesday morning, starting bright and early at Chef Mickey's for breakfast with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto! Lilly was the star of the restaurant with her adorable dress and her squeaky shoes! Allll the characters wanted to dance with her and ask her to jump up and down for them :) Tooo cute!

I watched Hailey, Ryan, Aiden, Lilly, Lukas, and Whitney while the other Mommies and Daddies (and Lauren!) went on Tower of Terror. They thought *I* had the scary situation, but we had a lot of fun, just me and the kids :) No one got hurt...no one even shed ONE tear :)

The girls waiting for Playhouse Disney to start!

I was faithfully updating my status to let the other Hot Mamas know what we were getting into :)

Whitney crashed shortly after the Muppets 3D show....

...but was wide awake again to end the day on a happy note :) (eating ice and making funny faces...)

Today, Holly, Mark, Lilly, and Lukas went to Magic Kingdom again, and then ended their Disney rounds with some time at EPCOT. Tomorrow, Kaylee, Beth, and their families are coming over for some grilling, some swimming, and some good times taking thousands of pics and catching up :) I'll be sure to post as soon as the pictures upload :)

Missing the rest of you girls!!
