Trip to Disneyland

We just got back from our BIG trip to Disneyland!

We met up with my family (my parents & 2 married brothers) to celebrate a late Christmas. We all stayed in a nearby hotel & enjoyed 5 full-of-fun and full-of-love days together.

As expected, Savannah completely loved Disneyland. She loved the rides (her favorites were Small World, Matterhorn, Peter Pan, Pirates, and Pinocchio), the princesses, the castle, the parades, and (most of all) the insane amount of attention she received from her grandparents, aunts & uncles.

As UNexpected, Will also COMPLETELY loved Disneyland. I just didn't think a 14 month old would get much out of the Magic Kingdom. I was SO wrong. With the exception of the large roller coasters, Will was able to board any and all rides & he LOVED them. I just threw him in the Bjorn and enjoyed the day. He is SO happy to go along with the crowd and, so long as he's being given his proper fill of attention, he's just delightful. Favorite rides were Dumbo, Nemo, Peter Pan, and Pirates.

I have SO many wonderful pictures, but here are some of my favorites...

My two little treasures:

Savannah, throwing out a courtesy wave to the camera, as she launched off on the Dumbo ride:

Will & Uncle Nate, defeating Zorg on the Buzz Lightyear ride:

Savannah & PaPa, also attempting to save the galaxy (notice Nate & JoLee in the background):

Will & PaPa, pointing at Pirates on Tom Sawyer's Island (Will's favorite thing to do these days is point. Seriously, he points all day long & it's really really cute)

Will, happily eating his buffet breakfast, while watching Nemo, in his jammies. What a life!

A highlight of Savannah's Disneyland trip: Finding a red Tic Tac in the dirt outside of the Jungle Cruise. She was so happy, you would think she won the lottery...
