Disneyland!!

Sorry these pictures are out of order 


The girls reactions to It's a Small World ride



 We had so much fun last weekend! We decided to take a trip to Disneyland. We told the kids but they didn't know what Disneyland was so there were no expectations, just excitement! We stayed at the Virgin River on our way down to California in Mesquite. Let's just say our room was worth every penny.....We went to bed and Kaylie was really excited to be in a hotel room until...I laid down on something that stabbed me in the back, I thought it was some used needle or something so I made Jeff come and see what had got me. There was a huge sticker weed that was in my sheets that poked me pretty good! After that we could hear our neighbors....Kaylie said, "Is that a baby crying?" Jeff and I couldn't stop laughing, needless to say that night was memorable. We left first thing in the morning and made our way down to Anaheim. We decided to stay at a better hotel than the first and upgraded our reservations to the Hyatt. Great decision! The shuttle at the hotel left every half hour for Disneyland so we went and came as we felt like it. We watched the Celebrate you parade the first day and watched the fireworks both nights. The girls LOVED the fireworks! Tinkerbell came flying across the fanasyland castle as it was all lit up at the end. Kaylie thought that was pretty neat. Other than that the girls really loved the rides! Ashley loved the Matterhorn, she was just barely tall enough to go on it and Kaylie was the best rollercoaster buddy! She went on anything she was tall enough to go on and kept asking what the next ride would be. Ashley thought everything was beautiful, she must have repeated that a thousand times and she also kept saying,  "this is fun, and I happy!" I could go on and on but my favorite moment was when we were all done with Disneyland and we were leaving the park after the fireworks I looked over at Kaylie and she was hugging Jeff and looking back at the castle all lit up with tears streaming down her face. I asked her what was wrong and she said she missed Tinkerbell. She kept saying she wasn't sad and she didn't know why she was crying but when we got back to our hotel she put her mickey ears on the nightstand and hopped into bed, in the morning she jumped up to see if there was any pixie dust in her hat and then ran to the window to see if there was any pixie dust on the window. She thought tinkerbell would come and leave pixie dust in our hotel room before we left. So cute!
