We Have Da-Da!!
It was a weekend of firsts for Gracie. She has had her first really bad cold - snotty nose, hoarse voice, coughing, sneezing, waking me up so I can’t rest kind of cold. Lovely.

Eilis’ Parent Teacher Conference, Fall 2005
I was so dreading going into this thing by myself and Jim could not get off from work. Last year, I left crying, so I was holding out hope that I could at least make it to the car before I broke into tears.
Your One Time Ticket to the ER Has Expired
Eilis only had one day of school this week, so Dram and Pop-pop got the brilliant idea that they would keep her for the week. I dropped her off on Monday, to be picked up on Friday. Of course, Eilis didn’t want to come home, because Dram’s house is full of anything but rules, meals in bed in front of the TV, milkshakes for breakfast, and ice cream cones round the clock.
The Osbourne Lights Disney MGM Studios
Years back, a man from Arkansas tried to make Christmas magical for himself, his family, and especially his little girl, Breezy. He had the most incredible spectacle of lights anyone had ever seen, and people came from miles, no, hundreds of miles to see the annual display. Unfortunately, this man lived in Grinchville, and his neighbors complained. A lot. They didn’t like the traffic, the people, the mess the people made parking all over, walking on their lawns, and they demanded that this man take down his lights. Not to disappoint his family and his beautiful little daughter, this man went all the way to the Arkansas Supreme Court before finally accepting the fact in 1994 that he would no longer be allowed to put out his Christmas display.
EPCOT Candlelight Processional
If you are spending any part of your holiday season in Disney World, this is a not to be missed event that will have you wishing you could come back to Disney every year at Christmas time. This is a very popular, celebrity hosted event, and there are two ways to get in to see it. Anyone who purchases a ticket (any ticket - annual pass, seasonal pass, park hopper, single day ticket) into EPCOT center, can go to see one of the three nightly performances that takes place from the day after Thanksgiving up until the day before New Year’s Eve. There is no extra charge to go and see this spectacular holiday event. HOWEVER…
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party
The beauty of living in Orlando was having the opportunity each year to enjoy the festivities at Disney World during the Christmas holidays. There are spectacular things going on there, if you have never been, and one of them is Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
