If you have never seen Osborne Lights I'd arrange around that. While I don't love as much as the original version it is a fantastic show, not to be missed.

This is where I was last night

A mile of walking paths of beautiful lights.

definitively we're going to see it.
as soon we finish Fantasmic..
then instantly leaving to our reservation at POR's Boatwright.

The most impressive light display I've ever seen was back home. It was a house covered in multi-color lights and the entire yard was filled with various lighted displays. Also, somebody my family used to know would cover their entire car in colored Christmas lights.

I thought that someone might find this interesting:

I find it totally fascinating how much they have changed and how little I have!

Very sweet

Oh boy. So the room now needs a bunkbed and a Murphy Bed. OK you guys get the big room that is on the other side of the townhome away from the other bedrooms.

I think we're going to need a bigger house Maybe something in Celebration?

 

[Figgy1]

I'd like to live in Celebration. We did lots of character meals too when they were small. I could never do one again and be at peace with that. We did so many 'cause I wouldn't stand in line to meet and greet. (often anyhow) As they aged we started to do 4 TS meals. Everyone picked one. Done. If weather or something had us doing another or so I picked. I did all the reservations, packing, boarding of dogs, etc. I got the bonus picks.

Great minds LOL Everybody here gets one pick. Or at least that's how we did it. This trip my younger ds will get 2 as he will be spending his birthday in the car. I think we'll try and keep it to 6 or 7 Disney ADRs and 4 maybe 5 for UNI

I'm to that point now and in better shape than most Christmas weeks. Done with shopping days ago. Food bought or ordered, it is that dang wrapping I need to do and someone is always under foot. Some years I've locked myself in my room and haven't come out until it was done. Last year on Christmas Eve Day I gave everyone a pile and delegated.

I'm almost done wrapping. I'll finish up tomorrow while watching A Christmas Carol before bed. I could have finished over the weekend but somehow finishing that way has become tradition.

That looks like so much fun. I went to bed early

 

[Figgy1]

Good morning and happy Christmas Eve Eve. today I'm on the road claw trimming, grazing at the salad bar with the girls and getting the fish and shellfish for tomorrow. My dh finally decided how he'll use the 4 hours he has to use. He gets a 1/2 day today so he's taking the day off. YEA! One less thing for me to do because I'm sending him to my ds' school with the cookies.

I'm no major baker, but, I can make a mean strudel. Family recipe...

Looks good to me!! Hubby could probably bake if he had a mind to, but it's not his interest. He loves chopping veggies and such, so cooking is more his thing.

We went to the ortho yesterday. It is not broken. So freak'n happy. He said it is a very deep bruise that goes through the toes and half way through the top and bottom of her foot. He said likely with that type of deep bruising it would take another 3 weeks for the blood pressure in that area to subside along with the throbbing. Always feel so bad when the Momma can't make it better. : (.

But so good that it's not broken!! Is it ok for her to walk on or does she need some type of brace?

 

[Songbird76]

Welcome back I was about to send out a search party. Or at least a Ferret with a halo

Maybe I should have stayed gone JUST a bit longer....a Ferret with a Halo isn't something you see every day!

 

[Songbird76]

in other news..
Guess who finally got the full 4 person reservation on the California Grill like I wanted?

Congratulations!! Perseverance pays off!!

 

[Songbird76]

ok, I can confirm that someone is trying to sabotage me and its not funny.
I just found that my universal hotel was also canceled.
Why noone calls me, informs me or gives me any information of why they are being canceled?

I'm pretty sure that my other reservations are safe, I am constantly monitoring them.
but someone already f*ked me badly in 2 things, one of them critical: The airline.


my actual reservation.

But how can they do that without your info? Don't you need a password or confirmation number and all that to make changes?

 

[Songbird76]

My son has been doing similar. He wants a laptop to play minecraft on. It is impressive that he is up to $150 already. He only gets 5 bucks a week plus gifts for occasions.

Yep, DS gets 2 euros per week allowance, and then whatever gifts he gets for Christmas/Birthday. Electronics are more expensive over here though. Might have to see what one costs in Germany. Germany is cheaper than the Netherlands.
