Disneyland!

The other evening after work we drove up to Anaheim.

We met up with Uncle Andy and Tami for dinner and some ice cream.

After dinner we went back to the hotel to get lots of rest for our big day.

We didn't tell Emma where we were going until we got to the gates.

"SURPRISE we are going to Disneyland!"

We didn't get the big smile we were expecting, but at least we got a little one.

We also surprised Emma and told her that we were meeting up with Jillian, Jason, Kristyn, Ron and Joy.

They had been planning a trip for months and months. I thought it would be great to meet up, but never thought it would be possible with everyone's busy schedules. We were so happy that it did end up working out.

They had already been to Disneyland for 2 days and stayed at the Grand Californian for 2 nights. I thought for sure that they would be so tired of Disneyland and wouldn't be up for joining us. Lucky for us they were having such a great time and still wanted to see more!

On the Toon Town roller coaster.

Emma hated it and said it was too fast.

Everyone wanted to go on the Haunted Mansion ride, so I took the girls on the train while the big kids went on their ride.

We had lunch at Ariel's Grotto and the girls loved it.

They got to see so many princesses and each one of them said hello and posed for a picture with the girls.

Emma loved Snow White.

She made sure to tell her that she was going to be Snow White for Halloween.

The yummy dessert tray.

We even sang an early Happy Birthday to Jillian.

We had such a great time!
