...we got to go to Disneyland!!! Last week actually. Kambria "has never been there in her WHOLE life!!!" (That's what she said, so cute). Brynlee, my mom, and I had actually never been there either, it was a great time to go! The first 2 days we really enjoyed the 80 degrees and Sunshine! The next 2 days we got poured on, but it didn't ruin our spirits, we were prepared. Plus, it was great for the lines. (The lines were pretty much non-existent the whole trip, WAHOO!) The girls were FEARLESS on the rides! Seriously. There was not one ride that they didn't want to try...over and over again! Kam was a quarter of an inch too short for the big ones, but by the 3rd day she was magically tall enough (a couple of folded maps in the heel of her shoes did the trick)! We figured with 3 responsible adults, she would be FINE. It was much more fun once we could all go on the rides together!
Brynlee was able to celebrate her BIRTHDAY there. When it is your Birthday, they give you a button to wear (plus get in for free), and everyone at the park says
"Happy Birthday Princess!" (Even the janitorial staff!) She was in Heaven!
One of the girls' favorite memories of Disneyland was to meet the
Princesses! They were all so beautiful and kind to the girls. It really was
magical for them. I especially like the pictures of Kambria looking up at the Princesses, she was in such
AWE!
Grandma's Birthday is only a few days after Brynlee's, so we made her a T-Shirt as well. It was a
PARTY for everyone!!!

We were excited when we saw the Cars characters, it is Gavin's favorite movie
(really the only one he will actually watch). We left Gavin behind with Brian's
wonderful parents, we figured he would probably not enjoy being strapped in a stroller the whole trip. We missed him terribly, but he had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa...and aunts, uncles, and cousins! I told his 4 year old cousin, Kaleb, "Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!" He replied, "Yea, and we didn't even LOST him!" What a cutie! I am glad that they didn't "LOST" him! :) He was in GREAT hands! Hopefully we will be able to take Gavin with us someday.
By the end, we were
exhausted! (...and we all lived
Happily Ever After.)
Brynlee was finally able to have her friend party last Saturday (since we were in Disneyland on her actual birthday). It was the first friend party we have had, usually we have a get together with family, which is always very fun too. I wasn't sure how the party would turn out, but all of her friends that came were so polite and well behaved. Brynlee wanted to have a Disney party which seemed appropriate since we were just there. (She actually wanted to have a Hannah Montana party to begin with, but she didn't think the boys would like that.) Since Hannah Montana is Disney, we thought that would all tie together well. She wanted to wear her Minnie Mouse ears and have all of the kids wear mouse ears, they were so cute. She had a lot of fun!
I sure love that little girl. She is so sweet, caring, and very responsible. A lot of times, I treat her like more of an adult than a 6 year old. Although, 6 years old sounds very old to me right now, well...it makes me feel old anyways! :)
