Disneyland

DISNEYLAND!!! Our three day adventure in Disneyland was absolutely fabulous. This was the first vacation that our little family has taken, and it all went so smoothly and we actually got to relax and enjoy our vacation! Granny Dean, Grandpa Dean, Aunt Jessica and Uncle Gabe all joined us during our Disneyland time, and it was so fun. Not only were they all such great help to have around, they were all so fun. They each took the kids on rides, pushed their strollers around, carried Finn in the snuggle and gave those little kids anything and everything they wanted! Like I said.. it was fabulous.




Here we are at the infamous front gate of Disney. (minus Aunt Jessica and Uncle Gabe) Oh.. I failed to mention how gorgeous and perfect the weather was.... 65 degrees.. not a cloud in sight.





Mac and Daddy enjoying a ride in the cars. This was one of Mac's favorite rides.



Finn was a trooper. He was really sick before we left Houston, so I took him in just for a check up before we got on a plane.. well low and behold Finn was super sick... he had pre-pneumonia. Poor little man. He had issues breathing and sounded horrible, but after a few days of breathing treatments and medicine, he was doing just fine. Here he is waiting in the stroller for his Bro and Daddy to get off the car ride.Here is Granny Dean and I in the astro orbiter. Yep we managed to squeeze ourselves into a kids ride together!!!Granny Dean was also such a trooper! She had knee surgery awhile back, but she was keeping pace with us all along. That is until the third day when we decided she was hurting so much she needed a wheelchair.... and I am not going to lie.. the wheelchair was so nice, because we got to go straight to the front of each ride line everytime!!! Then after the third day we couldn't help but wonder why we hadn't gotten the wheelchair earlier!!


Abby was in heaven here. She loved seeing each character even though it seemed like we didn't see that many. Oh and the tiger face... she begged for it and yes why not... we're at Disneyland, and it's her birthday so let's give her whatever she wants. It was so cute on her. She's just so cute.


Here is uncle Gabe and Dad giving Abby ride of their own. This is in California Adventure... which was so fun.

Grandpa Dean loved holding Finn. Thanks Grandpa you're the best. Isn't Finn is sweet? Think he knows he's at the Happiest Place on Earth?

Here's Abby and Granny on the 3D Toy Story ride. It was so fun.. definitely one of our favorites.





The very best part was Abby's little semi-private birthday party in Disneyland. Granny Dean planned it all. It was so sweet and special for Abby. There was this loony dude named Pat. E. Cake jumping around singing while we all got to decorate our own cupcakes. Then at the end Mickey and Minnie Mouse personally came and gave all the children that were celebrating their birthdays hugs. It was more then we expected and it meant the WORLD to Abby.



This is so sweet and heart-melting. She really loves them.


Like Mother like daughter. We are so cheesy... but having so much fun.

Uncle Gabe loves these pictures! It was so much fun to be with my Texas Wischmeier's! It was very hard to say goodbye, I'm sure there were lots of people looking at the grown man crying as he walked down Main Street USA, trying to keep his head down and get out of there as fast as he could... What a perfect week with all of you. Thanks so much! Thanks for turning 5 Abby and spending time with your Uncle Gabe. Thanks for being sweet to me and for holding my hand and running around like crazy! Thanks for sharing churros and cotton candy! Thanks for snuggling with me during Club House Disney and for letting me play with your hair till you fell asleep (sorry you missed the fireworks!) Love you all so much! Miss you! I guess it's my turn to come out there...
