Disney and Sistertime = an awesome Sunday

Today Hubby and I met my sister and her hubby at Disney. They are down there for a winter getaway at Disney and then will come up to Gainesville to spend the weekend with us. We met them today at the Magic Kingdom. Our first stop was Lunch at Tony's Restaurant to celebrate her hubby's birthday (the actual day is Dec. 27, so we were celebrating early). Then it was just a really fun day of hanging out, experiencing Disney attractions and being sisterly. That's my beautiful Sis in the picture to the right being all pretty and also wearing her Christmas shirt that is short sleeved and thus rendered useless in the frozen tundra of Northern Kentucky.

I found out Sister reads my blog all the time, so I'm going to start tagging her in all the posts where she's mentioned and see how many times I can mention her in a year.

Sister and I have been BFF literally since the day she was born. We are two years apart (I'm older) and I always tell people that we were each others first best friend. I also like to tell people that we've only had one fight in the history of our 27 years together. That's pretty good, I think.

Anyway, Sis and I pretty much carried on like we tend to do for the whole day. I don't know how I can explain it, but let me try: Our conversations are like a million random words strung together that somehow only make sense to us, spoken in a singsongy voice that is punctuating by either occasional silence because we're eating or talking to someone else, or one saying "You're pretty!" to the other. Our brains work the same way so we can segue flawlessly between topics that have no relation without any explanation of how we skipped from, say, a story about work to what we are having for dinner to explaining about the time we saw a cat dressed up like Santa and it was the funniest and cutest thing WE'VE EVER SEEN IN OUR LIVES.

I feel sorry for our husbands because they have to figure it all out. Thankfully, they like each other and can always just commiserate about how we dont' make much sense.

So we had the best time at Disney, which is AMAZING during Christmas. I hate to sound cheesy, but there is something really magical about it. I don't know if it's just really good memories from family trips there during this time of year or the fact that they have a crap ton of lights everywhere, but I just love it. Unfortunately, we're only going to get one trip down during the holidays. We weren't able to catch the Osborne Family Lights show at Disney Hollywood Studios. If you're ever in Orlando this time of year, it's worth going! They have, like, 14 million lights covering the backlot of Hollywood Studios, and the lights "dance" along to the music. I'm easily distracted by bright, flashing things.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!  Did anybody do anything festive this weekend?
