12 December

Monday the 12th was our last full day in the parks.  We made the most of it by making a return trip to Epcot.  I can't believe I never made it on Test Track during this trip.  The boys love it.  Next time Bradon will be able to ride it too.

 He wasn't able to ride, but he did get his #1 Mickey Bar.

The boys played at Mission Space one last time.

We visited with Nemo and his friends.

And we had lunch at the best restuarant in the World Showcase. . .Le Cellier.  This is a tough reservation to get, so we all weren't able to be seated together.  Our family ate at one table and my mom and dad and Chris and Susie ate at another.  They were probably happy to enjoy one quiet meal!

We love that you can order specialty drinks at Le Cellier.

They have the best steaks here and it was a fabulous meal.  Even Anders seemed to enjoy himself.

You can't beat the beautiful grounds.

The waterfall is always a hit.  Who doesn't like the sound of roaring water?

I love this picture of our little Anders.

Next we strolled over to England where we were able to enjoy the World Showcase Players.  Tanner wasn't having one of his better moments.  Where are this boy's negligent parents?

He soon warmed up to the show and decided to stake out a good seat.

So much fun.  I could spend an afternoon just enjoying the shows around the World Showcase.

Near America Bradon cuddled up in his favorite blanket.  Thanks Grandma for helping him to stay warm on the trip.  He loved "his" blanket.

That evening we went to the Magic Kingdom to enjoy the guest privledge of Extra Magic Hours.  We had so much fun that night.  The crowds were light and we were able to enjoy a lot of attractions.

As we walked by Pirates of the Caribbean we spotted a cast member who usually sweeps the streets, but that night he was making the sidewalks extra special.  He created these pictures on the sidewalks with just his work tools.  So much fun.

Was the magic really at an end?  We stayed up late that night and it was so worth it.  Our last night in one of my very favorite places on earth with some of my very favorite people.

And just look at that castle. . .

Christmas in Walt Disney World?  Yes!  I hope we get to do it again soon.
