color & celebration

I am feeling so colorful tonight  :)  

As the kids played like wild things tonight (jumping off of playhouses and "fighting like Mulan" to name a few of the evening's events)  I snapped up the memories.
I quickly edited the batch of pictures.  And because I'm feeling so colorful and celebratory I decided to play in photoshop, giving each picture a fast and easy pop of color.

  Here are the results:

OH!  And the whole celebration thing.... well...

It has taken us a year;  a Christmas, an anniversary and a couple of birthdays, a lot of generous family, and some hard working over time, but tonight we made our very last payment on our Disney vacation.

For one year, we've been planning this 4 day trip  to Disney.  For one year, we've faithfully made payment after payment.  And tonight, its DONE.  Our balance says ZERO and I just got an email welcoming us, and confirming our reservations. 

YAY.  HOORAY. 

It feels incredibly good to know that we worked our booty's off this past year to give our kids a few days of complete kiddie blissdom.

So yeah, we're celebrating!
