Disneyland 12-19-07

Brandon and I gave Elli a Disneyland pass for Christmas, and I wanted to take her before Christmas before all the decorations were taken down. We had a blast! We walked on all the rides. The only one we had to wait in was finding nemo, and that was 30 minutes. So it wasnt too bad. Her favorite ride's were splash mountain and Hollywood Tower of Terror.
Here she is with her churro, gotta love those churro's. They are seriously the best!! And she thinks they are called cherrios.

Here's Elli with Santa Claus. Everytime we see Santa, she tell's him something different. Most of the time it is a pink guitar, but this time it was a piano.....i bet you didn't know she knew how to play all these instruments huh? pretty talented. j/k! she also asked for a silver star...Isn't this the cutest lil santa you have ever seen....disneyland always has the best santa....

Here's Santa's reindeer. She thought it was pretty cool that his reindeer were here too.

And oh my goodness, this as Elli would say is Santa's wife...She was the sweetest lady ever. She so fit the part. And Brielle took in all the sweetness from her, she kept talking about santa's wife all day...It was pretty darn cute.

And here is Elli with the Alice in Wonderland crew, except the Queen. And Brielle just had to wait for her so she could say hi to her. I really didn't want to wait there for her to get done talking to people but Brielle was so adament about it, so I did. And it was pretty funny, the queen was being so funny with her, she was trying to play her mean part and Elli wasnt too sure she liked that.

She also saw the wiked witch from Snow White, and kept telling me how nice that wiked witch was...

We went on Finding Nemo for the first time, and enjoyed that. Here's Elli in the submarine...

Here we are in front of the huge beautiful Christmas tree....my favorite part of Disneyland at this time of year....sorry so blurry, just what happens when you ask someone to take a pic for you
After Disneyland, we went to California Adventure to watch the Aladdin show, and Elli made a friend in line and they just had to sit by eachother, and kept eachother entertained while waiting for the show to start. But she had a major probelm when she had to leave and didnt understand why we couldnt just hang out with her the rest of the night. But much to my luck she found another friend in the line of tower of terror who was her age and they kept saying hi friend and giving eachother hugs and playing. When the ride was done, Elli yelled hey friend did you love that ride...she said yes friend i did.. Kids crack me up...

Here's when we were leaving, everyone was taking pictures next to the letter's in front of california adventure and Elli just could not be left out so she went and stood by the L and some kid came up to her and said get a picture of me too. i was like oh honey can i get a picture of her please, he said no me too, and wouldnt budge so i just snapped the picture, then he wouldnt leave us alone, so i asked wheres your mommy, he said i dont know i dont have one, so i started thinking maybe i should help look for his mom, but eventually i found his aunt or something taking pics of her kids and not even worried about this other kid shes in charge of... gotta love all the many types of people that come to dland. We had a great mommy daughter date and Elli was asleep before we even got on the freeway. She was a trooper!

Elli's 4th Birthday Party

THE PARTY GIRLS!!!


Brielle turned 4 on November 25th. I let her choose what kind of a party she wanted and she chose a princees party, of course no surprise there!! We got her a princess bounce house, which she was completly estatic about (i dont think i spelled that right) The whole time they were setting it up, she was just standing there watching, and completly shaking, half from being so excited and the other half from being so cold! When they were done she was so in there with Aisley and Bri, they all were laughing so hard beccause they were having sooo fun!

When all her friends arrived, they decorated princess crown and wands with stickers,diamonds , and other fun stuff i got for them...they really enjoyed that, and it kept them busy for awhile too,
Next, came face painting done by my ever so talented sister, Jessica, she did an awesome job! oh by the way in the above picture thats keleny and bri helping with the decorating of the crowns and wands....loved the awesome help!

Opening the presents was insane! Every single one of the girls was in a huddle so close around Brielle, I dont even know how they could breathe. They all had to see what she got and wanted her to open their presents first. It was really funny to watch.

She made a wish (out loud) that all her family could go to disneyland together and have alot of fun! It was a crazy, but fun day! She slept excellent that night by the way!
