Universal Agent Education Program

The week after the big freeze mom headed off to sunny Florida for an Agent Education Program with her friend Amy.
 

 The first night the spent time touring the hotels on property (isn't this one pretty)...


and she got to see the coolest room ever!  The Minion Room!


The next day they took a VIP tour of Universal Studios.  Their guide was able to take them to the front of the line on each ride!

She even met minions!

Here's her training group...

Shrek!

Bumblebee!

The afternoon parade...

Yummiest donuts ever!


During the holidays they even bring in some of the Macy's parade floats and do a Christmas parade...



The next morning they were up bright and early to explore the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!



Butterbeer!

Look it's actual schoolmates of Harry's!

Mom chased them down and had to meet them!

Hogsmeade...

Time for the Harry Potter ride!

After Harry Potter it was time to explore Seuss Landing...

She got to see the Grinch show...

Max the dog stole the show!


and explore Jurassic Park...



Then it was time to meet some superheros...




Back to Seuss Landing to meet Cindy Lou Who... the Who's were convinced she would be scared of the Grinch on mom's shirt so they covered him up with tinsel...


Ack the Grinch!

A carousel full of Seuss friends...

That night she went to Universal's Cinematic Spectacular Dessert Party...

Yum!


 Graduation day!

It was a super fun time for mom, but I really missed her!  Daddy did a fantastic job keeping up with me & my schedule though! Thanks dad!

My 6th Birthday...

I think every kid dreams of getting a snow day on their birthday... Lucky for me, it happened this year!

Sprinkles the elf decorated the dining room for me...

and mom and dad decorated my door...

Happy birthday girl!

A quick breakfast and then I was ready to go see the snow!

In all honesty, this is not snow... it's ice!  Like 3 inches of ice!
 
 
 Maggie LOVES it!


It was seriously thick!

So we grabbed our containers and headed down to the school to sled...

I'll apologize now for all of mom's sledding videos... this is something we've ALWAYS wanted to do!

 

 

Daddy's big wipeout!
 

 


We spent the day going back and forth from the house to the hill...

 
 

While the dogs wrestled in the ice...


Finally it was time for cake! 



The next day... more ice! 


Boredom started to creep in, but a playdate with Ava helped!



another day... more ice!  Off to Landry's to play!

We ended up having ice days all the way through Wednesday of the next week. 

It was rough!  Lots of snuggling and games... then mommy headed off for training at Universal and I headed back to school as a big 6 year old!

Oh!  And mommy was named one of the Top 10 sales producers for her company in 2013.  Yay mommy!
