Christmas 2018 in Austin

Fun time in Austin...cookie-making & decorating, Santa visit, Charlie Brown tree, gingerbread house designing & decorating, playtime & Hallmarks with cousins and family!

Sisterly Gift Exchange

The girls exchanged ornaments this year.  Regan got Morgan a Despicable Me ornament (Mee's favorite ride at Universal); Morgan got Regan a Harry Potter ornament (her favorite part of Universal)

All I want for Christmas...

Camp Allen - Holiday in the Pines Weekend

Day 5: Heading home, but first...

One last trip to Harry Potter's world...a few rides were open early before we needed to catch our flight! Longest trip to Orlando for our family...still recommend 2-3 days, max...exhausted, but fun.

Day 4 - Epcot & Hollywood Studios

First time to visit Epcot with the girls. We were there early to make all the "must see" rides and adventures.  We walked through the "countries" & Regan enjoyed France's food!  Morgan stuck with American for lunch. We used up our last bit of energy & stopped by Hollywood Studios late that afternoon. Lines were too long, but we managed to meet Olaf - he can't help but make you smile!

Day 3 - Magic Kingdom

Enjoyed the day at Magic Kingdom.  Made our way through of all our favorite rides, watched the parade and then headed back to our hotel, Cabana Bay, and met Marilyn Monroe! :)
