Christmas in Orlando Part 1

Merry Christmas!! The day is finally here and I still have a few more photos I’d like to share.  I’ve posted a lot so far of the spectacle that is Disney’s Christmas Celebration, but now I’d like to share how I’m celebrating.  I am so very far away from my family, and many good friends.  I miss you all, and want to show you a little of my Christmas!  I am breaking these last photos down into two posts because I have so many! 

We took Little Bit to the town of Celebration.  He’s such a sweet little guy, the sweetest in fact I have ever met.

Now obviously it’s not really snowing here in the sunshine state.   However Celebration has all kinds of Christmas festivities including “snow” and an ice rink.   Little Bit loved the snow for about one minute, then just wanted all the weird white stuff off his feet.  He wouldn’t stand still long enough for me to take any photos of  him.

This is me giving the ice rink a shot.  The kids seemed to be having a great time sliding around, but I didn’t have too much luck.  It was still fun though!

 

Then I got to ride in the Christmas parade at Animal Kingdom with two of my favorite people!

It wasn’t really cold outside… But it’s fun to pretend!

 

I love this guy.  We live at Disney, and he does treat me like his princess.  He makes me smile and laugh every single day, no matter what. 

My Disney pals say Merry Christmas to you all!

 

 

Donald is especially handsome, I think.  Though Mickey has a special place in my heart too!

 

The next post coming soon will have pictures from the Candlelight Processional and, my favorite, photos of my Little Bit dressed up for the holidays!

Thanks for stopping by!

Osborne Lights Part 3

These lights really are amazing.  The photographs don’t really do them justice, but these posts have just been my attempt to try and share a glimpse with anyone who isn’t able to see them in person.  Hope you enjoy! 

 

 

Osborne Lights – Part2

Starting with the most important part of the Christmas Season!

 

 

I’ll have one other post with more Osborne pictures!  Hopefully tomorrow or Monday.

Holiday Season

Hi there!  I’m finally back at my normal job for now, off restrictions from my injury.  I’m glad to be back performing and working with the people I know!  More importantly, no more almost daily trips to physical therapy, chiropractor, or doctor after work means I finally get more time for photos!  I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving, I did!  While I wasn’t able to go see my family back in North Carolina, I got to spend time with friends and family here and definitely had plenty of turkey to eat!  As much as I do love Thanksgiving, my favorite time of year is now in full swing.  Last Christmas was a little difficult for personal reasons, so I didn’t really get into the holiday spirit as much as I have in the past.  But this past year I have learned that faith in the world can be restored, if you are around the right people and allow yourself to let go of all the people and things that have hurt you and focus on the present.  Find a new angle to look at things, focus on what helps and leave out what doesn’t. I am so thankful for the people (and my dog of course) who have helped me come through a very hard time.  It has been a new beginning, and I’m looking forward to continuing some old and starting new traditions this holiday season!!

I love to look at Christmas lights.  I remember driving all around town with my parents and siblings growing up, just to see them.  I got a chance to go see the Osborne Lights at Hollywood Studios with my wonderful boyfriend and his family last week.  Here are a few photos of the sign, more of the lights to come!

For these below I was playing around with changing the zoom during a long exposure.  I think the result is very fun, and gives an interesting twist to what you normally see!
