Bad Hair Day

Ellie has some wild hair. We went in to get her this morning and this is what she looked like. It took lots of detangler to get it under control.

More Disney Pics

I just got the rest of the Disneyland pictures from my In-laws and thought I would post a few that I liked.

Disneyland & California Adventure

We had the best time ever this past week visiting Disneyland and California Adventure. Michael and I, the kids, Michael's parents and grandparents all went together. We spent two days there and it just didn't seem like enough time. Ellie had a great time. She rode all of the rides she was tall enough for and wasn't scared. Emma also rode all the rides. I didn't think they would let a baby on them but she was able to go on just about everything Ellie was. Ellie got to meet her idols: Woody, Jesse and Buzz Lightyear. She was so excited to see them. We also got to watch a Disney/Pixar parade at California Adventure. It was a great parade, the best I've ever seen. The parade had all the characters from Ellie's favorite like Nemo, Monsters Inc, Toy Story and Cars. We were so very worn out by the end of both days so it was nice that our hotel room was across the street. We can't wait to go back, hopefully soon.

Pinewood Derby

We enjoyed a ward party yesterday at the park. They held a Pinewood Derby where anything goes as long as it would fit on the track. Michael's dad participated in the event with is Homer Simpson tow truck. Ellie had fun running all around with her friends. It was quite hot so I stayed in the shade with Emma as much as possible. After the derby they had a lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers. We just returned from our trip to Disneyland. We had soooo much fun. It was hard to leave. Disneyland is truly the happiest place on earth. I will include some pictures of the trip later.

Happy Birthday Ellie

Yesterday was Ellie's birthday. I can't believe that she is 2 already. Time sure does fly by. We had her little Toy Story birthday bash last night. Toy Story is her new favorite by the way. Her daddy and I got her character dolls from the movie. She loves them so much. She even slept with them last night. I've included a picture of her playing with them which she hasn't stopped doing since she woke up this morning. We love our little Ellie. She bring such happiness and joy to our home and makes us laugh everyday. I've said it before, I think she is going to be the class clown. She is such a special little spirit . We are now preparing for our trip to Disneyland. We are leaving on Sunday for Los Angeles. They have a new Toy Story ride that we can't wait to take Ellie on. Anyways, I will report when we get home.
