Family, food and fun!

On our second to last day in Chicago we headed over to my sister'a house for her open house. Riley got to play with her cousin McKayla who is only a week older than her! As we walked to the train back to downtown, Riley jumped in piles of leaves aa we enjoyed looking at the beautiful architecture of some of the houses. I tried to take a family photo of us before leaving Stef's house but she obviously was not having it! By the time we got to the train though, she was really excited. Riley also got her morning hot chocolate ;) what a spoiled little girl!!! 

The Most Magical Place on Earth

Took lots and lots and LOTS of pictures at Disney World - so many fun things to document!
Five days just wasn't enough - so we jammed as much as possible into all those days leaving us totally exhausted by the end of the day. We went to Animal Kingdom, Epcot, and Magic Kingdom. The last one was THE best of course. And I definitely believe in fairytales and wishes.

I started Christmas shopping while I was there, woohoo! I am totally buying all gifts by the end of November so I can bask in all the Christmasy glory in December.

I can't believe October is almost over! It seriously flew by. But I am totally stoked because my two favorite holidays are just around the corner!

1st Day In Disneyworld

We explored Downtown Disney today- shopped, Riley rode a kiddie train and carousel - as well as ran all over the place, we hit happy hour at House of Blues, then saw the Lion King in 3D. Awesome day! Tomorrow we are going to Animal Kingdom and EPCOT. Super excited for the rest of our trip - and the chance to relax by that fabulous pool!!!

All Checked In

We made it to Orlando! We are all checked in and snuggled into our beds. Can't wait for all the fun activities at Disney World! Riley could not contain her excitement today, she napped for an hour then chatted everyone up the rest of the time!

Tomorrow: Adventure to Disneyworld!

All pictures were taken at Riley's birthday Disneyland trip in April.

Here in the Cogan household we are all very excited for tomorrow. Because tomorrow afternoon we hop on a plane to Florida and get to spend THREE DAYS at Disneyworld! You wouldn't even believe my excitement when my dad told me to take time off work to go. Riley has been talking about it nonstop. She can't wait for the dumbo ride and to see the princess castle. I told her it's wayyyy bigger and better than Disneyland. She still has no idea. But she doesn't correct me everytime I call it "Disneyland" - she's say "No mom, it's DisneyWORLD". Needless to say, this will be my vacation. I've taken little trips here and there for concerts, to see my boyfriend, and to promote my fashion collection, but this is the real deal. I can't wait to go and take tons of pictures!
