There's nothing like a family trip to Disneyland for a spring break holiday! We splurged a little and stayed at the Disneyland hotel for two nights and also spent time at Discovery Bay, which is a lovely expat area where there are no cars (just golf carts) and buses. It's super cute. Every night we took the girls (or one) down to the waterfront to watch the Disneyland fireworks across the bay. It was a our second family vacation with all 5 of us and it's getting better and better as the girls get older, but holy cow we were busy!!!

A huge highlight for us was being asked to be the grand marshals at the parade. Some guy just picked us out of the crowd (because we have cute kids, can't deny that one) and we were treated like royalty. We got Mickey Mouse ear hats, coloring books, and pens. We waved at everyone and had a blast. What a fun memory for us! Gabby LOVES Space Mountain and I think we rode that thing a million times! Isabelle's favorite was the teacup ride. I think Livvy really liked Small World the best.

Love celebrating these crazy holidays! Guide-mama Beth bought her this stuff a long time ago and we're still getting use out of it!

Balloon Backpack



Isn't this the coolest balloon backpack ever? We waited in line for like 15 minutes for this! I took the two little girls to CIBA's spring fair. Pretty nice just having some time with two lil' babies. :)

Happy Birthday, Isabelle!

My baby girl is 3 years-old! We had a fun party at our place... It was a Disney themed birthday and it was pretty low key. We had some people over and ordered some pizza. We did some games (well, just one, they really just wanted to play). I think my sweet, Isabelle Mae, felt special and loved...

Friends that came:
Hannah and Catalina (Steve was away)
The Armstrong family (Andrew, Anke, Jack, and Caitlyn)
The McManus family (Brian, Pam, and Liam)
The Hardeman family (Mark, Megan, Sydney, and Sam)
The Dittmar family (Brad, Ellen, and Beau)
The Townsend family (James, Hayley, and Otis)

Dragon Award!





Miss Gabriella received the Dragon Award this month... For being a good listener and taking care of small problems. I believe this happens once-a-month and the student and family gets a free breakfast with the principals. Not too exciting (the breakfast part) but nice to hear my daughter is doing okay...
