Birthday Extravaganza!

The past week of my life has been about all things birthday since my little monkey turned 5! 

The Little Monkey

This year instead of a party we decided to take a family vacation to Disney World to celebrate.  From where we live it’s only a 9 hour drive, so we loaded up in the car and got on the road.  We were worried about everyone being well since we had all been sick the week prior, but it worked out perfectly.  The little monkey did sleep most of the way to Florida though.  Finally, we were there! Disney World!

Mr. Alpha Male, the Monkey and Me with Mickey Mouse

We rode tons of rides…

Some of us more than others...

And got mouse ears…

Arrrrrrrgh!

And more mouse ears...

And watched shows…

And we met some of the characters, although the little monkey refused to smile in the character pictures.  “Mommy, they’re not real.  They’re just people in costumes.”  LOL

But, no worries, I still smiled....

We spent one afternoon in “England” inside EPCOT.  Mr. Alpha Male was only able to pry me away with the promise of dessert in “France” only a few steps away.

I’m always amazed by the attention to detail at Disney.  It makes the OCD parts of me sigh in contented bliss.

I’m glad we took the time to enjoy our little family this week because it seems like all you have to do is blink to miss so much.  I had an amazing time.  I hope you had a great week too! I’m looking forward to getting back to normal now that the birthday extravaganza is over, even though I can’t believe I have a 5 year old!  When did my baby get so big?

We’ve got ears say cheers! *winks*
