DISNEYLAND!!!!!!


We're here!!! I was so excited I could pee my pants. We were all so excited to be here. I hadn't been since I was 4 and so this was practically a first for all of us.
They really had the place decked out for Christmas. It must have taken forever to decorate that place the way they did. In fact when it got darker, they would dim the lights and play a song on the speakers, then fake snow started falling from the sky! It was so magical I almost cried.

We started out with sleeping Beauty's castle, which ended up being really dark and scary and Brystal was begging us to get her out of there.

After coming out of the castle, we saw her... the moment we all had been waiting for. Brystal's favorite princess, Sleeping Beauty herself. When seeing her in person, Brystal was suddenly a little nervous about meeting her, but as soon as we walked away from her she said "lets go see someone else!!"

I could barely hang onto Boston during the Carousal ride. Actually that describes the whole day with Boston.

Next was the classic Dumbo ride. This was the first real ride we went on. I was pleasantly surprised that both kids loved it!

see.

Then we waited in line at Pixie Hollow for what we thought was going to be a crazy adventure, for about an hour. Turns out you just walk through some big grass and flowers to take your picture with Tinkerbelle. Anyways, Brystal was excited to see her. Here she can see her through the thicket of grass.

Boston kept us busy by trying to either run away, or climb on everything he could reach.

Before we met Tinkerbelle, we ran into her friend Fawn. She was really pretty, (that's what I was thinking anyways.) She had a little thing for Boston.

Once again, Brystal got a little nervous to get close.

Finally after waiting forever, we got to Tinkerbelle's house. She was so nice and polite. I commented on how cute her shoes were, then we tried to get Brystal to come get her picture taken with her. At this point I was starting to think that I was going home with a bunch of pictures of ME and all the Disney Characters.


Then it was the Christmas Parade! We saw all of our favorite people.














Cinderella....














Snow White.....














Belle and the Beast....














And Woody!

Brystal watching from a distance.

The finding Nemo submarine.


Our favorite ride was the Buzz Lightyear ride.


In toontown we got to see Mickey and Minnie's house, and all the places they shop and play.

Mickey's laundry room.

And of course, I could not go home without riding the teacup ride. Before the ride started, Brystal sat there really still, I touched her arm and asked her if she was so excited, then without moving she says "Quit touching me." Ok.... I think she was just a bit nervous of what was about to happen. She ended up thinking the ride was fun, but her little comment was funny.


They finished the night off with fireworks and the castle had snow and ice cycles on it to give it that winter Christmas look. That is just a glimpse of how the day went but it was so much fun and so magical. I can't wait to take them back when they get older!

OCTOBER UPDATE

I know what you all are thinking, Didn't we just have Christmas and New Years, and your posting October? Well I've been a little busy lately, so don't judge. I just needed to get these cute pictures from Halloween up and other happenings.


For Halloween Brystal was a witch. A cute witch of course.



Boston was a Dragon. He was so cute in this costume. I loved it.

This is my attempt to get them together. Good luck with Boston holding still. You get what you get with him.

A couple weeks later as we were packing up the house, I stepped out onto our front porch and found a big envelope from Fed Ex. Hmmmm, what's this I thought.......

10,000 DOLLARS!!! Well not quite 10,000, they took out taxes, but I'll take it.

It sure feels good to be holding that check.

Complete with a cheesy autograph from Tom Bergeron.

What's Boston up to? Oh nothing much, just getting cuter by the day. He gets into everything he is not supposed to. He keeps me on my toes. But how could you ever get mad at this face?


What's new with Brystal? Brystal got glasses! I started noticing one of her eyes turning in while looking at things up close. She has a crooked eye which the glasses will hopefully fix and make stronger over the next few years. Doesn't she look adorable in them? She is such a trooper, and has such an imagination. She loves to play princesses. She is my little princess.
