Disneyland

We always talked about going to Disneyland, but I honestly didn't think we would be able to do it quite so soon!  It definitely helped that Aunt Becky lives in L.A. and we were able to use a bunch of one pass miles so our flight didn't cost a thing!  Hard to pass up such a great opportunity for our first family vacation.  Sienna, of course, is at the peak of her love affair with all things princess so we knew it would be a dream come true for her.  And we figured Colton would have a blast too once he got over his fear of all of the characters!  So, despite missing our 5 AM flight due to the long security lines, we made it to California and then to the happiest place on Earth!  We feel so blessed to have been able to experience such a wonderful vacation!  And a huge thank you to our amazing family who helped make this trip possible!

Our first encounter with Minnie Mouse at California Adventure.  It did not go very well.

Luckily, Sienna cheered up when she got to meet Jesse!

 Having a great time now!

Amazing firework show!

We got to eat at Goofy's kitchen!

Sienna's 4th and Colton's 2nd Birthday

Can't believe Sienna and Colton are turning 4 and 2!!  Last year, Sienna and Colton had their own party's, but this year, we decided to simplify our lives and just have one party for the both of them!  Luckily, they didn't seem to mind this idea!  Sienna became my assistant party planner and we quickly settled on a Rapunzel theme for her and a Toy Story theme for Colton.  And since they love to run, jump, bounce, and have fun, we decided to have their party at Wazoo's, which is full of bouncy castles!!  It all turned out great and we were so happy that so many of our friends and family were able to come and help us celebrate this special day!

Someone must have told Krystal a good joke!

Can I have seconds?

This is how I like to eat my pizza.

Had to get in a picture with the birthday kids!  I love the looks on their faces!

We actually got a kid group picture!  Although, I got in the picture too b/c Colton was about to get upset.  After what happened last year, we decided not to take any chances!

"Happy Birthday to You!"

Two cakes for two sweet kids!
