Our Halloween Week!
We spent at the Happiest Place On Earth celebrating Brie's 10th birthday!
My Disney Nerds!
No surprise what she picked for her souvenir pin..
Brie got to go on her very first airplane ride! She flew to Cali with g-ma, her aunt, two cousins, and Hannah.
The rest of us went on a long road trip!
We had a pit stop in St. George.
Which involved yummy Mexican food
and a visit to the Tuacahn to see THRILLER for these three girls! Cousin Allie got to join us on our trip. SO SO FUN! It was just like the old days. She and her family came with us, for years, on our annual Disney trips. The last 6 years they haven't been able to... so we had a lot of Disney fun to catch up on.
Throw back to the good old days with Allie. {Jan 2003} One of my favorite Disney pics. ever.
Disney here we come!
The greeting we got at the hotel coming off the elevator {from those that flew and had already arrived}...priceless!
We took a drive to the beach...
oh yah!....
Brie's Birthday Morning Surprise!
Brie loves swimming...thus the flippers. She also loves the Shannon Hale books, Ever After High... about an enchanting boarding school where children of fairy tale legend live out their destinies.
Her new Madame Alexander Halloween "mummy" doll from g-ma. Even the little black cat is wrapped up! So stink'in cute!
Our first day...head'in to the park!
Only Ky would be dancing down the aisle of the shuttle!
Runn'in to get her b-day pin!
This is classic!
Brie's Birthday treat! She loves those Mickey ice cream bars!
First time on Thunder Mountain!
You can imagine all the costumes we saw...this guy in a tink suit cracked us up!
what's even funnier is Uncle Ryan was in Japan at Disney Tokyo taking pics of random people in costume and sending them to us. 6 Japanese Alice in Wonderlands...
Trick or Treat time....
The Halloween fireworks were incredible. I'd go just for that! We watched the Halloween parade x2!
Oh man, the memories we have waiting for the parade to start.... Good times!
Cars Ride! Mamma's car beat Daddy's car. ;)
Probably THE funniest moment of the trip. {and we had a lot} right here with all eight of us on the grizzly rapid ride. We laughed our heads off...
Kate's favorite ride. Soar'in over California!
Watching Aladdin at the Hyperion Theatre.
I swear I'm gonna tip to my death on this ride...freaks the heck out of me! Hannah video taped me. on the ride. Some major terrified screaming going on. lol {I will spare you all from watching it.} But just so you know....one of the cast members as I was getting off the ride said..."every one heard you scream "...and Jaren piped in..."ten people got out of line"...
The pickles and corn dogs were a big hit!
We saw the World of Color water show! Completely Uh-mazing!
DAY 3
kisses from Pooh Bear!
This was one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten at Disney. Found at the French Market Restaurant. It rivals the dole whip. That is saying a lot!
I don't think we've ever seen the Fairy Godmother walking around. What a fun surprise!
Kyleigh was in cahoots with three Mexican ladies trying to track down Peter Pan. It's quite the story..will spare the details..
but long story short....she found him...She was so dang excited!
Even Alice in Wonderland witnessed and commented on Kyleigh's flight to catch Peter. This whole Alice, Mad hatter encounter, including the Fairy Godmother passing by, and joining in on the conversation! ..."Don't drink their tea!"..... {a trip highlight for me}
They were so in character!
The Mad hatter commenting to the Fairy Godmother that Kate had enough pumpkins on her dress to have THE CARRIAGE RACES of 2014! {Quote of the week!}
Our memorable time with the Mad Hatter has got to give this new doll, the Mad Hatter's daughter -Madeline, even more meaning to Brie.
So many memories wrapped up in this place. I don't even think I can put in to words what Disneyland means to our family. {So I'm not even gonna try.} All I know is that I've got pages in my journal of our "Happy List" moments just from this trip. They are the "had to be there in person" moments to really understand and appreciate it. Unforgettable, funny, magical moments!!
Several of Brie's friends dressed as nerds!
I helped with her Halloween class party. We made Jack Skellington cupcakes.
Hannie was a fairy for her friend's Halloween party!
Kyleigh dressed up for work!
We spent time at Grandma's with the cousins.
My niece had her kids pop a black balloon at our gathering to announce to the family what the sex of her baby is...blue confetti came blowing out. So fun!
Trick or Treating at G-ma & G-pa's neighbors...
One last shot of our Nerd themed Halloween! Phew, what a week!
