Disney World with The Thompson's

I met Heather, Chris, Gracie and Hayden in Orlando for a week of FUN! We stayed our first night at the Marriott Palms in a condo all together which was fun. The next day, they dropped me off at my hotel and they headed to the All Stars Resort. The kids Loved it!
The Beautiful Grand Floridian Resort




You can take the boat from the hotel to the Magic Kingdom

LOVED my room, it was so spacious. Every night I got turn down service, lights dimmed, fan turned on and chocolates left on my pillow. Talk about service from Mousekeeping!

December 2007 - Admin Christmas Party

Every year, the admins in Technology "try" to get together during Christmas and have a little get together. Anne-Marie was out of town and couldn't make it this time, but Katherine, Beth and I all met at Beth's house and had a great time! Beth had 4 different Christmas Trees decorated around her house - looked Awesome! We all brought food and chowed down! :)

Beth's beautiful table setting - it looked great! We had some good fondue!

The Dr. Seuss tree as we call it - beautiful colors!
