Has it really been a week since I wrote an entry? Sheesh. Here’s a quick recap. Saturday, we went over to Disney for a few hours to catch an extremely early “Dress Rehearsal” of New Fantasyland.

A Picture Is Worth 1,000 Words
…but I’m chatty, so here’s pictures AND words. Mom’s birthday was last Wednesday the 8th, and we were going to get together at my sister’s on Saturday for a birthday party but Mom wasn’t feeling well, so we did it on Sunday instead.
