Maeley and Zoe's Birthday party

Another year older and wiser too

Happy Birthday to you!

 

These girls are so beautiful.

The girls chose Frozen this year because their was so compromise.

Maeley likes Elsa and Zoe likes Anna.

Another amazing cake made by Laurel.

These cookies are incredible.

It was fun watching them open their presents.

Thanks to everyone who came. Maeley and Zoe had a wonderful party!

Halloween 2014

A witch, a cowboy and a black cat.  

Our neighbors and I had been collecting milk jugs for about 2 months to have enough to fill our 4 houses. It was cute and we had many compliments by trick or treaters.

 

I was surprised for a Friday there wasn't as many trick-or-treaters out. Our kids still came home with a ridiculous amount of candy. After eating too much candy over the weekend. We took most of their candy to the orthodontist for cash. We turned in 9lbs of candy! I'm so happy our kids like doing that. 

Character Breakfast

Before leaving we did some shopping at the World of Disney Store and went to find some breakfast. We decided to end our trip with a character breakfast at our hotel.

 

 

Overall the trip was wonderful and worth all the waiting and sacrifice it took to finally do this.

I love my family!

 

Disneyland- Thursday

Entertaining ourselves while we waited in line before the park opened.

First in line!

While the boys went on Space Mountain the girls and I did Peter Pan and Dumbo.

Zoe refused to go on Splash Mountain again so I took Maeley and Chase.

Sadly it stopped working almost immediately after we got on.

It was cool going behind the scenes of the ride. We also got a Fast Pass for up to 6 people to use again on nearly any ride. We chose Grizzly River Run.

 

This was definitely a highlight of the trip. Zoe finally meeting Daisy Duck! She loves Daisy Duck!

I absolutely love how they are wearing the same colors! She was one happy kid!

 Chase was getting sleepy so Derek took him and Zoe back to the hotel. Maeley and I went on Splash Mountain again and then some shopping before heading back to the hotel.

This is clearly a terrible phone picture but Maeley's face is priceless!

Disneyland - Wednesday

We actually ended up staying at California Adventure this day.

The kids loved Racers.

Zoe was thrilled to ride the Ariel ride.

The big Farris wheel is still crazy in the swinging ones but not as bad as I remember. Zoe still didn't like it though. 

We had reservations for Ariel's Grotto for lunch.

Chase didn't seem to mind meeting the princesses and getting their autographs.

This was the kids dessert

And Derek and I got this. It was pretty tasty!

 

Maeley ran into her best friend! We had no idea they were going to be there. Such a fun surprise!

Pluto was being funny!
