DISNEYLAND!

We had a BLAST at Disneyland this week. We left EARLY Monday morning to get there early and get our money's worth. The kids were soooo tired but they were so good considering. Preston rode the flying Dumbos for his very first ride. He had such a straight face but you could tell he was having fun.
Before we got through to the park they had a little show with Mickey in front of the castle. Preston got to give Mickey a high-five and I was videotaping the whole thing with tears in my eyes. I got so choked up.
Here's a pic of us at the castle.

Preston blowing kisses to Grandma and Grandpa.

We thought Preston would be afraid of Mickey. While waiting to see Mickey there were these carrots in a garden that a rabbit was eating and the carrots would pop down into the ground as the rabbit ate them. THAT freaked him out! He was hiding behind Brad like in this picture. It was so funny!

Here we are in Mickey's house.

FINALLY after waiting for what seemed like forever we got to Mickey. My dad has some really cute pictures of Preston blowing kisses and giving Mickey five. He LOVED meeting the characters. Especially Mickey, his favorite.

The Minnie ears were a little big for little Hannah bug.

This is what Preston looked like on all the rides. Never a smile just a blank stare. So much to take in, I guess. Everytime we got off a ride he would say "a na na choo choo" translating to "another choo choo". All the rides were "choo's choo's".

Happy birthday to me! This was me and Brad on my birthday. Talk about the best 30th birthday ever...where you feel like a kid again.

Me with my birthday pin. EVERYONE says Happy Birthday to you when you are wearing this. It was fun. I went to get a band aid at first aid and before I left she had Goofy on the phone singing Happy Birthday to me. It was so cool.

We ate at the Rainforest Cafe for my birthday. Talk about a massive dessert! No, I didn't eat it all myself. I shared it with everyone and we still didn't finish.

Hannah fell asleep holding her little Minnie. It was so cute.

Preston kept giving his Mickey kisses and hugs.

DAY THREE! Yeah, we were only supposed to be there for two days. Wednesday morning we were walking around looking at the shops in Downtown Disney, which is a free part, just killing time when we ran into our friends Doug and Joyce. They were going home and still had one more day on their 5 day pass and they gave it to us to use! So, we got to go for another day!!! So fun huh? THANK YOU DOUG AND JOYCE! WE HAD A BLAST!
This is Preston and I on the Winnie the Pooh ride.

Meeting Tigger. The kids loved Tigger. He was really fun. He cleaned off Preston's glasses for him. Preston loved him. Hannah squealed.


Hannah LOVED Minnie. She was grabbing her nose and giving her kisses. She kept squealing. It was so cute.


And finally us in the teacup. This was our last picture. There were so many cute pics. These were only the highlights. I'll post more when I get the pics from my parents.

I couldn't have wished for a better birthday! It was so awesome! I love my parents! It was because of them we got to have this wonderful little vacation. THANK YOU SO MUCH MOM AND DAD! It was so fun. We will always remember this trip. They were so great to help with the kids too and let us do things while one or the other slept etc. THANK YOU AGAIN!
In addition to such a wonderful trip my parents got me a set of red Fiesta dishes. These are special to my family as my mom was the Pottery Festival Queen. These dishes were made in her hometown and I LOVE them. Again, Thank you Mom and Dad!!
