Eliza and her pal Minnie Mouse

Meeting Mickie and Minnie Mouse!

Now that we're Disney annual passholders, we decided to make another trip out to the "Mouse House" this weekend. Eliza was on a mission, constantly repeating "I want to see Mickey Mouse!" And after some planning, hiking, and waiting...she finally had her special moment with Mickey and his gal.



She had an awesome time chumming around with her pals, followed by one heck of a meltdown when we had to leave!

Kitty Eliza reading books

Eliza has a couple of new costumes she likes to wear including her kitty suit. She asks that we call her "Kitty Eliza". She decided to read some books in her room wearing her costume. Doesn't get much cuter than this.

Her favorite, little poem:

"rain...rain, go away...Eliza wants to play"

Dressed up as Dorothy!

We got Eliza all dressed up for Halloween early this year so that she could trick-or-treat at DisneyWorld's "Not So Scary Halloween" event this weekend. She had a couple of new outfits to choose from, but she really wanted to wear her Wizard of Oz Dorothy costume the most.

Dorothy and Toto

Like her Daddy, Eliza is obsessed with Converse sneakers, so we got her a red pair of those, instead of the ruby slippers. It was a big hit with everyone we came across last night.

ready to trick or treat

More cute Halloween outfits are on the way this month, and we can't wait for y'all to see them.

Eliza, Daddy and the Sesame Street gang

We went to see the Sesame Street live show today. Eliza liked it, but became disinterested after realizing we were standing firm and were unwilling to buy her cotton candy.

Just snagged this photo from Grandma Cathy's blog, showing all the kids posing for a group shot at the pizza place. (Daddy didn't get a very good shot of the gang himself)

Charlotte and Eliza love fondue

Upon our recent trip to Oregon, we continued our usual tradition of visiting Gustav's with Charlotte, and her mommy, Melinda. Two things were confirmed on this visit:

1. The little gals sure do act silly together.
2. They REALLY like eating fondue.
