Disneyworld







We decided to forgo Christmas gifts for each other this year and instead take a trip to Disneyworld all together. The Marler clan descended on Orlando for a quick weekend trip and had a great time. Ellie was so excited to visit Mickey at his house, and boy did she light up when she saw him. She went right up to him and gave him a hug, after waiting in line for nearly an hour. She obliged us and let us take her picture with the other characters too, but when we got to Goofy, she was done. (And of course, she still remembers and likes to tell us that she DID NOT see Goofy at Disneyworld).
She especially enjoyed the live action shows and the electric light parade sitting on Jason's shoulders. All throughout the parade, she would lean down to talk into his ear and ask whether he saw Donald, or the princess, or any other character that caught her eye.
But the best part was spending time with our Arizona family that we don't get to see often enough. Ellie had a wonderful time with her cousins and will likely keep talking about it for months to come.
