Celebration of Easter 2011 with family and friends. This is the first video Jeff shot with his new camera! We were lucky enough to celebrate with the usual suspects and Sara, Jeremy and Jackson Cyr!
The song is "Roll Away Your Stone" by Mumford & Sons.
Our last day at the park we went to Hollywood Studios. We were not sure if we were going to but decided that it would be fun for Jillian..and turns out we were right. She had lots of fun in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids movie set playground and she was so excited to see Handy Manny and the Little Einsteins. They were really the only characters that she was not scared of. 
Who doesn't love having their face painted?
Fun on the people mover...
Jillian would have sat and hugged June all day if we had let her.
So happy!
Also a fan of Manny:)
All three kids in the same picture and kind of happy:)
Chilling on the people mover.
Hanging with Quincy!
Posing with Patriotic Mickey at our hotel!
Fun with the knight:)
One of the highlights of the trip for Jeanne was dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table-- in the castle of course:) Before dinner the kids had an "audience" with Cinderella-- even dirty lammie got to come. This was Jeanne's Super Bowl! She was so excited that she could hardly sit in her seat when she realized that Ariel, Belle, and Snow White were also going to be visiting with her over dinner. She was so excited!!! It was absolutely adorable. The kids did not seem phased by the fact that we had to eat dinner at 9:30:)
A big smile after a kiss from Snow White!
Even Will got into posing with the princesses-- he was a good sport!
It helped that they gave him a sword! Made the princess dinner a little more manly.
The dirty lammie on the way to meet the princesses.
Will is losing his mind! There are just so many princesses!
Jeanne got to spend quite a bit of time with Belle. She was thrilled.

More princesses....
Ariel! Jeanne finally got to meet her favorite princess...we were a little nervous that we were not going to see her:)
Happy Campers!
After we took a day off from the parks...we headed to the Animal Kingdom which was new for all of us. As you can see a good time was had by all. Will was awesome and rode Expedition Everest with Brian, Papa and me. He was only a little scared..but was very proud of himself afterwards. He wore his Expedition Everest shirt very proudly..and still does. The girls had fun in Dinoland and we saw a bunch of characters which was a lot of fun. Gigi and Papa were troopers again and went all over the park getting Fast Passes for us! They were the best Disney partners we could have asked for....and we could not have done it without them. Thanks!!
We were all excited to meet King Louie and Baloo!
Jillian was happy to be out of her stroller for a bit.
Even mommy got to be in this pic.
Hugs for King Louie
One of the cool rides that we all could go on...including Jillian was the Jeep Safari trip. We saw lots of animals and had fun driving through the savanah. The habitat was great for checking out the animals in a natural setting.
We were all really excited to see the baby elephants.
...and who doesn't like crocodiles.
Will got to try his hand at the bongos!
Jeanne did too, of course!
Jeanne and Will really had a good time together exploring Animal Kingdom and collecting autographs!
Jeann and Papa enjoying the ride in Dinoland!
Bri and I are ready for takeoff...somehow we ended up without any kids...go figure!
Here we go again! This ride was a big hit and had a short line:)
Part of Dinoland included the boneyard..which was a big playground complete with sand pit for digging up fossils. Jillian and Jeanne loved it here..so we spent quite a bit of time here while Will went with Brian and Papa on the dinosaur ride.
Riding a dinosaur!
It is too bad that she is not having any fun!
Happy girls hanging in the Jeep!
