Thank you SO much to Mimi and Grandaddy for taking our whole family on a trip we will never forget! For Lia especially, it was a completely magical experience that she will cherish forever. Just seeing her reaction to meeting all the princesses and seeing the characters from her favorite movies made this Christmas perfect for me and Philip. Disney at this time of year is decorated so beautifully, and we all enjoyed exploring something new and taking it all in. Thanks to everyone for making the trip so special for my girls!! We love you!
