They Say Its My Birthday



To celebrate getting older, I decided to go to the place where you can always be a kid! Disneyland!!!!


We had a great time. As I told Mr. D - we had a 10 hour adventure at Disneyland without any tears, meltdowns, tantrums, or arguments. It truly is a magical place!



We had so much fun with Grace. She is a stud when it comes to the rides. She went on everything we took her on and liked them all. Well, I don't think she was particularly fond of the really dark ones like Pirates of the Caribbean, but she didn't act too traumatized.

She went on the spinning tea cups,

flying rocket ships,


even the Matterhorn roller coaster.

But she still says her favorites are the "horses" (carousel). Wuss.


And to make my day even brighter, she took a picture with Tinkerbell! Our first character picture.



Paul was a good sport. He took a good 1 1/2 nap in the stroller, so he hung in there pretty good. He even rode his share of rides.

As part of my birthday gift, Mr D also upgraded our tickets to annual passes! Whee! Now we have a full year ahead of magical fun. I can't wait!

It was a really fun day. But exhausting. I'm not sure how some families do the multiple day Disney experience vacations. Wow.

I would say if I had to turn..., well, older... this was a great way to do it.

Halloween Pics!

Just wanted to share some Halloween pictures... almost a week late. We had a fun time with my two little cuties playing at the church festival. I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.
