DISNEYLAND!!

Put your seat belt on for major photo overload!!  But this was our FIRST time to Disneyland and we had a BLAST!!  Our kids still ask us at least weekly when we are going to go back....It is totally magical! Yes we were totally exhausted every night, but in a good way. 
We were lucky enough to have Grandma go on our trip to be our tour guide, she has been a ridiculous amount of times.  Peyton always tells people that "my Grandma is a big fan of Mr. Disney" and it is so true, she was just as excited to go as the kids were (OK I must confess Tim and I were pretty excited too:)!

 Here is the start of our road trip....My sister-in-law actually wrote down how many times her kids asked "ARE WE THERE YET", ya I didn't do that.....it must have been fifty by the time we got out of Petaluma!
 We stayed in the Disneyland Hotel.  I LOVED our room!  It had just been renovated and it had an awesome view of the fireworks.  The headboard was stars and fireworks with lights shining through for a nightlight, and it you could even push a button and it would play "When You Wish Upon a Star"!
 This was our first day there, we were pretty tired from driving all day and it was kind of raining but we were all too excited to just go to bed!
 Addi meets MICKEY!
 Max is a little freaked out....
 This next one is the Finding Nemo ride....which we probably went on at least five times.  They loved this one, every time we would walk by Max would start screaming "MEEMO, MEEMO" until we would get in line again:)




 This is a picture of the Star Wars demo they had....we watched it twice and Peyton got picked to be in the Padawan training both times!! It was a such a fun show he had a blast!
 Such a good picture....minus the people in it!  I guess the sun was in their eyes or something like that Pssssht!

 Addison and the Fairy Godmother!




 During the second Star Wars demo we were sitting there waiting for it to start when I look over and see this guy sitting there.....I do a couple of double takes, and then elbow Tim to see if I am crazy.  Sure enough, Nicholas Cage is sitting there!!  His daughter was there in the audience wanting to get picked (and almost didn't get picked until daddy-o stood up and started jumping up and down too). 

 Darthmal (sp?)  Ya a little on the intimidating side?
 Peyton shows NO fear and takes him on!
 Peyton and Nicholas Cages daughter....(she is the one in pink)



 The Princess lunch!  What a dream come true for a little Princess herself to meet all of these Princesses in one day! Was she in HEAVEN?  YES! 







 Had to take a picture of the dessert tray....it was ALMOST too pretty to eat!  Look at that sea shell out of white chocolate. 
 Here are the Lost Boys going to Neverland!
  We got to meet Tatum and her mom Christy one day for Tatum's birthday!  She is such a sweet girl and we had so much fun spending some time with them!






 We unexpectedly ran into them again and had to take a few more pictures with Tatum's cute little kitten face:)



 Breakfast with Minnie....Max kills me in these!


 Rockin out with Chip...or is that Dale??
 Entering into Fairy Hallow....



He was having so much fun talking to these ducks, it was so cute....until he tried to get his head out!  Not so cute!






 This was on our last night :(



 I don't WANT to go home!!
 The long walk back to the Hotel.
The end...Until next time:)
