Disney World

I know it's been a long time since I posted anything, but between our vacation and getting ready for Christmas I've been a little busy. On December 8th we went to Disney World to surprise Mackenzie for her 5th birthday. We had it all planned for a long time and was able to keep it from her. It was pretty amusing trying to keep it from her. We had to drop Scooby off at the pet hotel on Sunday night and our little walking question would stop asking why. We told her that he was going to get a bath and have some play time with his friends. As many of you know, Zane went to Heaven almost 2 months ago and I think Mackenzie was afraid that Scooby was going there too because she started crying when it was time to leave him, so we walked around the store to get him some Christmas presents (because why would you buy Christmas presents for a dog that was going to Heaven). That helped for a little while, but when we left the store she fell apart. She couldn't sleep without Scooby and she didn't want him to stay there, etc. The next morning we got her up early and we left. She had mentioned something about all of the luggage in the car but didn't really think anything of it. We started driving and she kept asking if we were going to get Scooby. We got close to the airport and she said "We're going the wrong way, we aren't going to the airport, we are going to get Scooby." When we parked we told her we were going to eat breakfast at the airport. We ended up getting on the plane and she still thought we were going to get Scooby. One of the flight attendants asked her if she was going to Disney World and she said "No, we are going to get my dog." It was cracking us up. We got to Orlando and were in line for that Magical Express and she still had not figured it out so Jason told her. She didn't really react. What we also didn't tell her was that my parents were meeting us there (they had never been before). When she saw them walking up she lit up like I've never seen before. She was so excited. She ran up to them so fast and gave them big hugs.

We had a nice time on the trip and Izzie really enjoyed herself too. She loved Mickey Mouse. I think I've been long winded enough so I will just post some pictures.

Birthday Pictures

Here are pictures from Mackenzie's actual birthday.  I would highly recommend Libby Lu for little girls that would enjoy a makeover.  They are closing in January though.  : (  After her makeover, we went to see Santa.  I was very happy with how they both did.  I figured there would've been lots of tears, but they did great.  Mackenzie said that she would smile again next year if we got her a makeover again...I guess we'll have to find a new place to do that.  I can't believe my little girl is 5.

This is at Libby Lu before her makeover.
