First trip to Disneyland!


 Get ready for highlights from our trip to the Happiest Place on Earth! (Trip taken in April 2012)



We actually had hard time getting him to leave the hotel room...His favorite show Curious George was on.

This princess is ready to go!

Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy.

Jack really wanted Jasmine to take off her heavy coat.... LOL.
The other girls are the kids aunts, Olivia and Aja.

A short ferry ride to Pirate Island to find some treasure!

Bouncy happy Tigger!!

Eeyore told me ...Don't bother putting a caption on this picture of me.... No one ever does. Boo hoo

Gotta love Winnie the Pooh!

Giving Pooh a kiss!

And impromptu meeting with Belle! Her and Cinderella were becoming mauled by preschoolers and were late to an "event" so their handlers had to come and "rescue" them.

Loving the merry go round!

Feeling like a big kid.

Someone is done for the day...We were waiting in line for the Peter Pan ride.



What you didn't see from this day....

Took a ride on Finding Nemo first (longest line by far!) Also road Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters ride 3 times! Both the kids loved that one. Jack will tell you he got the highest score of everyone else playing when we did. Gabi loved haunted mansion and road that twice! We got to ride pretty much everything and anything we wanted this day crowds were pretty light, and we were thankful!



Day 2

I thought this was the Happiest Place on Earth!

Tiana is asking the girls if they have ever kissed a frog. Ha ha!

Ariel was by far the most personable!

I loved how she interacted with the kids at their level.

Happiness at Toon Town. 
Gabi had just come off riding the rollercoaster there, her very first one!



Just as we were leaving the park to go back to the hotel to take a nap we found Minnie!

So cute! 

I loved her shoes! :)

Waiting for some fireworks...

Finally a smile!

Fun was had by all!

We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back!

What you didn't see this day....

Road the Nemo ride again plus Buzz Lightyear, Haunted Mansion, Winnie the Pooh and many others.

Road Pirates of the Caribbean and forgot about that massive drop at the beginning. Good thing we held on to Ezra for dear life! LOL

Jack decided he wants his own personal dole whips at home.

Happy 4th!

We all got tickets to the Diamondback game for the 4th! Fun was had by all. Just make sure you have booked a seat that has good view of the fireworks. Ours was partial obstructed :( We still had a great time!

Gabi turns 5!

For Gabi's 5th Birthday (06/08) she wanted a party with her friends. She was so excited and couldn't wait for the day to arrive!



She woke up to decorations for her party


Started off the morning with blueberry pancakes



All dressed and smiles for her fairy party!



The "help"


Is it time yet?!?!?


The guests arrive and start on their craft (fairy crowns)


Some got their facepainted to make the transformation complete.


Even Ezra got in on the action....


The Birthday Fairy


Aunt Lindsey was craft fairy extraordinaire!


A little play time


The snacks. Pretzels for "twigs" and strawberries with "snail sandwiches"


Yum yum


A game of musical chairs using flowers...


Time to eat


And blow out the candles!

A happy wish come true!


The fairy queen and her subjects.

Every queen has a little bit of sass.




Waving their wands as they fly away home.


All the fairies and their little queen! 
Thanks Lindsey, Xan, Alicia, Mom, and Jack for your help!



Warning....
This last picture I didn't have in originally but after Gabi saw the pictures she wanted this one in.... SO here you go. Me looking a little frazzled after a party with young girls!




Happy Birthday Gabi! We love you!!!!
