A Magical Place

We did it! We went to Disneyland last week, and we had so much fun!
Between Christmas and D-day the girls got really excited.

We saw Chip (or Dale?) right after we got into the park. The girls were in awe of the life size character and couldn't stop looking.


Right after that we met Mickey Mouse. Hooray!
We went with my sister, Katie, who lives in the L.A. area. Her husband, Ryan, had class everyday so he couldn't join us at the park.
Our first ride! Pirates of the Caribbean, which happens to be Chris' favorite ride. Ashlee was a bit scared and had a death grip on Katie's arm the whole time.
Ashlee was timid about approaching any character without Chris or I, until we saw Tiana. She marched right up to her for a picture.
We enjoyed all of the kid rides in Fantasyland like the carousel.
more rides
Caitlin met Snow White's Witch. She was awesome! She was so good at being "mean" without being "mean".
and then we ran into Snow White herself, and Sleeping Beauty.
Typical "in front of the castle" pose.
We were excited to meet Aladdin and Jasmine.
and that ended our Tuesday at Disneyland.
Thursday we started off the day with breakfast with the Princesses.
Ashlee didn't want to put her dress on, but was soooo excited to have it on once she saw Ariel with her pretty dress.
Beautiful Belle. We had actually seen all the princesses, except Belle, on Tuesday so we were all excited to see her.
Cinderella
Snow White
Sleeping Beauty
Before the BEST Toy Story ride.
The girls picked a Woody and Jessie doll as their Disneyland purchase. And were so excited to see Jessie (and we gave Woody high fives). Ashlee was standing by the army man, but moved to the other side so she could stand by Jesse.
We love Toy Story
Ha ha, Ashlee always wears her sunglasses upside down, and it was no different with her 3D glasses.
Caitlin loved seeing the Cars after being scared to death on Soarin' over California.
And we couldn't leave without a picture by Mickey right in the front gates.
The girls had a blast, we had a blast......it was a good trip.

Wow, what a vacation! I was looking at these photos with Eden, and as we scrolled down she would gasp at each new photo with another princess. "Snow White! Cinderella! Blle!" She is in awe, and very envious of Cait and Ash. :)
