As life gets busier, it's been hard for me to keep up this blog, but I wanted to try to end the year with some updates. 2012 was a very eventful year in my daughter, Holly's life. She made her first Communion in May and took her first plane trip to Disney World in November. Just a week before we left for Florida, Hurricane Sandy hit the LI/New York area. We were lucky to have only lost power for less than two days, while many lost it for two weeks or longer. We also had no significant damage to our home. The day after we arrived in Orlando, a Northeaster hit causing snow and more damage to the northeast. Our flight home was equally uneventful, although we left a day later due to having come down with stomach poisoning the last day of our trip. Otherwise, we had a wonderful vacation and one worth remembering for a long time. Below are some photos from our trip.
Holly's favorite part of the trip was meeting the princesses and Tinkerbell and getting all their autographs. She also loved dressing up as Aurora, her favorite princess, and received the royal treatment at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique. Afterwards, she got to ride on a balloon!
Another favorite part of the trip was the Animal Kingdom where she took a safari and explored the wilds of Africa. There was even a petting zoo of less wild animals.
The Hawaiian luau was a lot of fun, and the whole family got a photo together.
The airports were fun, too, especially the shopping. But baggage claim was also cool.
It will be interesting to see what adventures await us in 2013. Happy New Year!
