Labor Day Extravaganza! *photo heavy*

I'm still recovering from the 3 day weekend. Since moving to Florida, Chris & I have joined the rest of the fambam spending the weekend at The Disney Beach Club Villas Resort.

.painted my nails in honor of the weekend ahead.

After a 2.5 hour car ride to drop off our fur-baby Charlie, we arrived at last!

• Pesto & Prosciuttio Stuffed Chicken
• Gnocchi
• Green Beans
• Garlic Smashed Potatoes
• 3 Bottles of *smuggled in* Wine

.imitating the happy italian lady holding flowers, dressed in her native attire: christmas lights. Ashley & I are never afraid to take funny shots & do stupid things - but apparently I'm the only one doing that here LOL. for some reason no one wanted to take a photo with the statue. I still haven't figured that out. :)

After dinner, we headed home, got in jammies & proceeded on to game night. This year: Apples to Apples. Dad won with 8 cards; I had 2... "worldly" & if I remember correctly "energetic".

.oh - it was on. 

.this game got fierce. 

Every year we attend Mass at Out Lady of the Universe. And every year I see my friend Santi (from my home parish in Tampa). He makes a yearly "pilgrimage" to this Church every Labor Day Weekend. No photo of us. I'll be sure to get one next year.

.sunday funday mass :).

My SIL (sister in law) Lindsey recently got a waterproof case for her iPhone. Needless to say - we had a LOT of fun in the sand bottom pools. Here are 2 of 30,000,000 photos...

Sunday night: dinner in. HOMEMADE PIZZA!! yum-o!

I made my pizza with organic sauce & no-wheat, gluten free dough. delish! 

Next Memorial Day, we'll be coming back to the Disney Resorts to stay at the Animal Kingdom!! I'm so excited! We wanted to scope out the place - you know, because we snotty Disney resort-going people. Jk. We walked around for about 2 hours enjoying the animals, decor, drums, & seeing the sights. So excited for May 2013!

After much calculation, we figured out that with the Disney vaca package my cousin Julie has - we'll get to spend every Labor Day at Disney for the next 42 years! Bring it on! :)
