Disney!

We took a fabulous Winter Break trip to Disney World and came back loaded down with photographs and good memories.  Enjoy the plethora of photos and please excuse my long absence from blogging!

Emily is a complete carnivore.

Yarrrr!

Super human strength!

I didn't create that hairdo!

Getting beautified!

A face shield like Dolly Parton used in Steel Magnolias!

You should have seen us trying to comb  this out!

BFFs in Disney!

I love Marley Ann's expression - we were all feeling like strangling ourselves at  this point in the day!

Joining the conga line at Ohana.  Meats on sticks - yum!

So excited to see how Mousekeeping posed her animals while we were out!

More Mousekeeping fun

Just fantastic.

Goats!

Donald and I celebrated our 14th anniversary (can you believe it?) at Serenbe and the only picture I took was the one below.  Look who greeted us at guest services!  These two cuties are only 4 weeks old.  At least one of them would have fit into my suitcase to make the trip back to the White House, but Donald assures me that goats are social animals and that to separate them from each other would have been cruel.  I tried to convince him that he'd never have to cut the grass again if we had a goat, but he didn't buy it.  Enjoy the picture anyway!

Snowmageddon 2012!

The weatherman called for a dusting of snow and we didn't get anything here.  But down the road near  Mimi and Papa, there was a nice coating of snow and ice!  Emily and Abby were fortunate enough to be invited to a snow party.  The hosts are owners of The Snow Kings and held a fun (and cold!) party in their backyard.  Emily and Abby had a great time with their friend, Selena, building snow forts, making angels, and tossing around snowballs at each other.  I'm still hopeful that we will get some more snow at the White House this year but until that happens, they really enjoyed spending a snow day with their friends.
