Disneyland!

The night of Jane's birthday (Sunday) we headed up to Disneyland!  Grandma and Grandpa Bell brought Kjerstin and Brian too and stayed for a day with us.  Then they left and we had two days with just our little family there.

 Jane was absolutely mesmerized by "Rella", as she calls her.

 Great big hug for Tigger!

 Jane got to wear a Happy Birthday pin while we were there. She loved all the attention she got from it.  Grandma stayed out with her while the rest of us went on Splash Mountain one time.  They were going to wait in line to visit Pooh, but they were told Pooh was going to have to go on break soon, so they left and Jane just stood outside of the ropes and looked longingly at the last few kids visiting him.  She didn't cry or yell, but just kept looking sweetly in.  The helpers took notice and when Pooh was ready for break, came over and said, "Since it's your birthday, Pooh would like to walk with you to his house.  Would you like to do that?  Jane of course said "yes."  You can see the paparazzi behind them.  :)  She was a star and loved it.  Grandma said she will never forget the little contented look on Jane's face while she got to walk with Pooh at Disneyland.  Priceless.

 This was on our Magic Morning when we got to the park early to party!  Those are some very excited kids!

 Then I pushed the stroller as fast as I could through the crowd to get to the front of another line where we waited for them to count down and open the park.

 The merry go round was Jane's favorite.

 There's that silly face again.  :)

 We got to see Mickey too.  Luckily his line was short.

 Halloween time at Disneyland is the best!  Everything was decorated so cute.

 We had lunch at Ariel's Grotto one day and got to see tons of princesses.  It was definitely a splurge, and, although the kids didn't eat, it was worth it to see their faces.  They (especially Jane) were in heaven.

It was nice and hot while we were there, so Jane had to hit the splash pad while Rob was staying out with her for Natalie and me to go on Cars.

We love Disneyland!  It is such a magical place and I hope the kids will always remember this fun family tradition.
