Turning 5 in Disney World!


Happy five-year-old birthday, girls!  It was dad's idea to surprise them with special hats, so now adorned with pin necklaces, birthday pins AND hats, we set off for a birthday breakfast with princesses at Epcot!

This is one princess we hadn't seen until this day!


Thank you hug for Caleb - of course he was trying to enjoy the setting just as much as the girls, but it was a bit challenging!


We had such a fun day walking around and going on our most favorite rides again and doing some we hadn't done the first time at Epcot.  We even saw Captian EO!  Also ran into a few fun guys while we were at it...


Face painting for our last day - why not?  Two cute kittens and Darth Maul!











Can't forget Daisy Duck!

Then it was back to Magic Kingdom for our last night, and boy, did we live it up!  First, we stood in line forever to see Tinkerbell and her sister Periwinkle.  Good thing Caleb had Lily to hang out with...




After it was dark, the awesome light parade started.  The kids had front row seats...so fun!


Here's the clan while waiting for the fireworks to start behind the Magic Kingdom Castle...


This was not our view of course, we had a better one! Spectacular fireworks and special effects and even live Tinkerbell flying across the sky for the finale!


And then as if that wasn't enough, we HAD to celebrate the birthdays with ice cream! On the way out it was close to midnight, and by the time we got back and to bed it was 1 am!  What a way to live it up until the last minute, huh?  Unforgettable birthdays for the girls and and all-around fantastic Disney trip!
