Mike and I planned months ago to go to Disneyland for our 11th anniversary this year, and that just happened to be this past weekend. So we loaded up the kids, took them to my mom, the dog to my in-laws, and headed to sunny California! The first day had a number of things go wrong and many expectations burst, but after we readjusted our expectations, the trip went really pretty well. It was a lot of fun. We went on a lot of rides, got a few character pictures (Pluto gave Mike a pretty hard time pretending to fight him for me and then proposed! HA!), and even got to do a few things we've always wanted to do but couldn't with kids... like have lunch at the Blue Bayou (too expensive with 6!)! We found a cozy spot in a deserted part of Disneyland to watch the fireworks all by ourselves and have dinner on the riverfront (literally BY OURSELVES!). Those two things were probably my highlights. We also got to experience Disneyland at Christmas time, which is a whole new thing. Who said there isn't snow in California!? At Disneyland, everything is possible! (they actually make it snow on you during the lighting of the castle). Of the many lessons we learned on this trip, another valuable one: We need a new pocket camera!

Our own little corner of Disneyland... which really was remarkable because of
how crowded it was when we were there! Just a little blessing!
