Happy Birthday to Me!

For my birthday this year, I wanted to go to Disneyland!  It sounds crazy, because I was 6 months pregnant on my birthday, but I love seeing my girls have so much fun! We were in Anaheim Monday, Tuesday and half a day on Wednesday (actually the week before my birthday!)We had such a fun time.  We spent all day Monday at California adventure. Sophie was a little daredevil.  She wanted to do everything, she had no fear, well except for the Bug's Life 3D movie.  She didn't like that at all! 

 Avery was scared at the Bug's Life 3D movie too, but she did like the glasses she got to wear.  I thought the movie was really cool!  I'd never seen it before.

 Avery was too small to ride some of the rides, but I got her a frozen strawberry lemonade cup and she was very content!

Tuesday we spent at Disneyland.  We started in Fantasyland and made our way around the park.  I think Small World was the favorite ride, since it's the only one the girls wanted to go on twice. 

 The girl's got to get their faces painted at the Disney Fantasy Faire!  They loved that!

 On Wednesday, we went to Disneyland again and rode a few more rides before we headed over to California Adventure to eat lunch at Ariel's Grotto.  That was a very special experience.  As soon as you go downstairs to the restaurant, you get your picture taken with Ariel.

Then you are seated at your table and brought some pretty yummy food and the princesses come around to your table and talk to you and take pictures with you.  The girl's thought it was amazing!  

We had a such a fun time! I was exhausted from walking around for 3 days straight, and it took me a full day at home to recover, but it was so worth it!

The following week was my actual birthday and so the celebration continued!  I woke up Sunday morning and Lance and the girls made me chocolate waffles for breakfast.  Then we we got home from church, Lance made me dinner and chocolate cake for dessert.

Monday was my actual birthday and Lance ended up having to go into work. He had to catch up from missing work for the Disneyland trip, but we met him at Simply Fondue that night for dinner.  Sophie and Avery thought cooking your own food at the table was so cool! I thought dipping fruit in melted dark chocolate was heavenly!

Along with the Disneyland trip, I got two t-shirts and a new purse.  I had such a great birthday.  Besides everything my husband and daughters did, I got presents from my parents and brothers and sisters.  I got great gifts from my friends, who also celebrated by meeting for a girl's night out at Yogofina.  Even though having another birthday means I am now 38 (aaaahhhh!), it was such a great one this year!
