The HAPPIEST place on Earth!

We spent three fun days at Disneyland, right after Thanksgiving. The girls had a blast! {We did too, of course} We bought the girls autograph books the very first day. That was the BEST idea we've had yet. Abbey had so much fun meeting all the characters and getting their autographs.

{Day 1}
We spent today with the Pierce FamilyRight as we walked in we met Mary Poppins and Bert. My girls LOVE that movie, and the characters were very convincing.
We met up with Brinlee for the Princess Faire.
The girls met Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White.

More Autographs in Toon Town
{Makayla wasn't nearly as interested as Abbey was}









The BIG suckers. Makayla was in heaven {and actually FINISHED the whole thing} Have you ever seen a child do that? I haven't...until now

We headed over to California Adventure on Tuesday
{we'd heard Mulan was there}
And sure enough--we found her!
{She's Abbey's favorite}
And along the way, we ran into Mickey Mouse



{Day 3}
Day 2 at the Princess Faire--we were hoping to see Belle and Ariel
{We got the same princesses as before, but I don't think Abbey minded at all}


We spent the third day with just the four of us. IT was so fun. We went on all the rides we hadn't gotten around too yet {Casey Jr. Train} and rode all our favorites again.



Honey I shrunk the audience was classic--super scary--I've NEVER seen/heard Makayla so scared. {demon cats and snakes come out at you!--I SWEAR I didn't know}
Abbey wanted to get a family picture by the HUGE Christmas tree...it turned out blury
{still cute}
We left the park at 6 ish...we were pooped. Three very fun days. We enjoyed a yummy dinner at the soup plantation.

Goodbye Disneyland! Until next time, We LOVE you!!

It sounds like so much fun...but I'm afraid my kids would take off and think they could do anything they want without me. Did Makayla like it...you know with her being younger, was it worth it?? I'm just wondering for my own record.

Mulan is Emily's favorite, too. I can't wait to take our kiddos to Disneyland. Such a magical place!
