So, yes our trip to Disney last month WAS a surprise to Allie, Anna and Emily.
I captured their faces while Sarah broke the news only hours before we were to leave for the airport:
A Season
Christmas may be done but until the last of the celebrations have been had and the new year ushered in that holiday feeling persists. It no longer seems that Christmasy feeling of celebration disappears in the space between Christmas day and boxing day. It now carries on until the last gift of the year is out from under the tree, I have sang Auld Lang Syne and the last of the baking has been taken care of in the most delicious way. It has become a slow fade, a whole season to embrace rather than just the one single day.
Disney Trip and CPA Exam
Since my last post, I have tested on two of the four sections of the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam. In addition to studying for and taking those sections, we took our second trip (this year) to Disney. I have also been busy with a continued job search and my stay-at-home dad duties. I just could not justify spending time on a blog post.
I am not shocked by the results of the first two sections of the exam (I received my grades on both), although I am still somewhat numb by receiving a 74 on one exam section when the passing grade is a 75! I need to reread the fine print on scoring - maybe I can appeal and/or ask for a re-grading...
If you read Sarah's blog, you know we flew to Disney this time and it went about as good as it could have gone - considering it was our first time flying as a family. Sarah's mom traveled with us again on this trip. Having Grammy and flying Jet Blue were definite positives. We stayed at the Art of Animation resort this time, which was different than the Beach Club, for sure. But the stark differences between the two resorts went unnoticed by our girls. I think.
More on the exam and our vacation in future posts. This is a clip of the girls meeting Alice in Wonderland for the first time:
