Meeting Mickey and His Friends!

Hands down, Hannah’s favourite TV show is, ‘Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!’  She absolutely adores it and a huge smile crosses her face every single time it starts. When we were at Disney Hannah had an opportunity to meet the real Mickey Mouse as well as his clubhouse friends. 

As we waited in line to meet the characters Hannah could see Mickey.  As soon as we were at the front of the line she wiggled and wiggled and said, ‘wal’ (walk) until I put her down.  She walked up to Mickey by herself and stood looking up at him with a look that appeared to say, ‘Wow!  It’s really him!’

I love how she has her little hands crossed casually in front of her.  Ah yes, she was standing with her friend.

After meeting Mickey on her own she asked to be picked up and was happiest meeting the rest of the gang with Mama.  Posing with Pluto

Checking Minnie out over her shoulder

and saying good-bye with a ‘high 5.’  She gave most of the characters ‘high 5’s’ as we left them.

Watching Donald sign her autograph album

Hanging with Goofy

Goofy is one of Hannah’s favourite characters on MMCH and she smiles when she see’s him.  A couple of month’s back she began to giggle while watching the show and when I looked up I noticed that it was Goofy she was giggling at.  I was able to capture some of these giggles last week.  Is there anything sweeter than a baby’s laugh?

I’m so thankful that there is such a great show for Hannah to watch that she enjoys and where she learns so much too.  Tonight she was singing along with a song she’s heard on her DVD in the car.  I’ll work on capturing it to post another time.  How fun it is to hear Hannah begin to sing.  Another fun, huge accomplishment that my ‘baby’ girl is making.

Dining with Royalty

Back to the fun FL posts….

Wednesday morning (Nov 10) dawned warm and sunny once again and we were off to a very important breakfast.  Princess Hannah and her Royal Subjects had been invited to dine with the other Princesses in Norway! 

When Princess Hannah was called to enter the dining hall she was met by the beautiful Belle wearing her formal golden gown.  Mommy was excited but Princess Hannah wasn’t too sure what to make of all that was happening.  She preferred to peek at the princess over her shoulder while grabbing hold of a fist of mommy’s t-shirt just to ensure that she wasn’t going anywhere! Heh...I think she may even be giving Belle the stink eye!

Upon being guided to our table and filling our plates with yummy, delicious fruit, pastries and breakfast food fit for a….princess, it was time to pose with the other Princesses who came to see us.

Princess Aurora smiled while Hannah pretended she wasn’t there.

Cinderella was even there which was a wonderful surprise as she normally is busy elsewhere.  I think Hannah might have been warming up slightly to all that was going on as in this pic I’m pretty sure she was sharing her half eaten cheese with Cinderella.  Nothing says friendship more than sharing partially eaten food!

LOL!  Check out all the flashes from the Grandpas-ratzi!  :o)

We had met Snow White the day before in the Magic Kingdom so this time Hannah was a little more accepting of her.  Snow White on the other hand was thrilled to see Hannah again and commented on her beautiful bows!

The final princess to grace our table was Aerial.  Still no smiles from Hannah but once all the princesses had moved on to visit with other Royal Subjects, she was happy to look at them and appreciate them from afar.

The food was delicious and it was fun to meet so many princesses so we will go back and enjoy this breakfast again in the future. For now, Princess Hannah was just happy to enjoy her brekkie without having to pose for any more pics.  :o)  Having a mama and 4 grandparents all wielding cameras can be a little much for any Princess!  

I think Hannah’s favourite part of the morning was dancing in her high chair as the Princesses paraded through the restaurant with the children behind them.  Oh how cute it will be someday when she chooses to join in the parade!   For now, it was dancing at our table for all of us to enjoy and we loved it!

Breakfast with the Princesses.  A perfect way to start the day at Epcot!

Disney Dreams Come True!!!

These past 2 days were better than I ever could have hoped or imagined ~ sharing time at Disney with Hannah’s Grandma and Grandpa (left) and her Nana and Papa too!!
We laughed, sang, danced, rode rides, watched shows, parades and so much more!  Truly they were perfect days spent with family; sweet, precious family. 
Mommy is tuckered and Shaoey is already fast asleep so for tonight I leave you with one more pic that was taken just before we left Epcot earlier tonight.  We hadn’t met many characters this trip so I made sure to visit Character Connection before leaving.  I’m so happy we did!!  Hannah enjoys watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on TV so I wanted her to meet the characters.  As we arrived at the front of the line Hannah squirmed out of my arms and couldn’t get to Mickey fast enough.  She was a little shy once she got there but still went to see Mickey all by herself!  Here she is looking up in awe at the Mouse she thinks is the very best!  Look how little she is and how sweet her adorable little face looks!!

More to come soon…

And We're Off...

Hannah and I are excited to be trading in our warm woolies for summer clothes and sun! Bright and early tomorrow morning we're winging our way south with Nana and Papa to visit my parents for a week. Mom and Dad rent a house in Florida for the month of November so we're popping down for a visit with Grandma and Grandpa. Hannah and I can't wait to spend the week with both sets of her grandparents! Let the spoiling begin!!

Tuesday will be extra exciting as it will be Hannah's first official visit to Walt Disney World as we go to the Magic Kingdom Tuesday followed by Epcot on Wednesday! Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that her first Disney trip would be in the company of the 4 people who mean so very, very much to her. God is SO good!

We'll be sharing our trip with you while we're away and I promise not to bore you with too many pics. Who am I kidding? Of course there will be pictures galore and some great videos too!

And we're off...to the Happiest Place on Earth!
