Disneyland

As a Christmas gift, Chris' Dad took us all to Disneyland for two days (one day at Disneyland and one day at California Adventure). We had a great time even though it was chilly, fortunately it wasn't as crowded as we expected.

We left home at 6am and hoped that we could get Bailey into her car seat without waking her, but that didn't happen, so we stopped at Starbucks on our way. Bailey was happy to get a big girl drink (warm milk with vanilla). She ended up sleeping for about 45 minutes while we were stuck in traffic.

 

We tried to get Ella and Bailey to put their arms up together, but this was the best we could get.

Cousins!

Bailey (2 years), Ella (3 years), Eden (7 months)

 

Bailey wanted to get a picture with every character possible! We managed to meet many of them!

 

Fortunately, we got word that to see Anna and Elsa you needed a fast pass type of ticket, so on the second day, Chris ran over and scored us tickets as soon as we got into the park.

 

Bailey wore one of her Elsa dresses and when we got into the room with them, she ran up and hugged Anna for a full minute! She was in heaven!

The women playing the princesses were wonderful! Taking a long time with the girls and making them feel special! Ella and Bailey were so excited to meet them!

 

Bailey still wasn't a fan of the Pirate's of the Caribbean, but we did find a few rides that she loved! 

Dumbo, the carousel, little mermaid, the rocket ships, the tea cups, the Ferris wheel, and the roller coaster in toon town were all some of her favorites.  

 

We did go on the haunted mansion, and it stopped while we were on it! Fortunately we were facing the room that was decorated for Christmas and had the ghosts dancing, so we didn't mind. They had it running again a short time later.

 

Bailey and Ella are more like sisters sometimes (fighting and loving just like sisters), but they were happy to be together while waiting for the parade.

 

They had a Feliz Navidad parade at California Adventure and Bailey danced while watching the entire thing, then she was surprised when the dancers asked her to come dance with them, she loved it!  

 

We had a great weekend with family and enjoyed making memories together! I was pooped at the end of it, we walked a lot and didn't sleep much but I'm glad that we could all spend time together for the holidays!
