Mommy-Daughter Day

For a while now I've been wanting to take Allison to Disneyland, just she and I. A girls day, you know? So we can do all the girly Princess things without any pressure from boys! Well, my niece Hannah was turning 3 and since that's where she wanted to go along with her mom, we joined them. And we had the ultimate girls day at Disneyland!! I had such an amazing day with my daughter. It was fun from start to finish. The best part is that she didn't know where we were headed that day. Even when we pulled in the parking structure and met up with her cousin, she still wasn't sure. When we got to the trams she finally said, "We're at Disneyland!!" And it was all smiles from there.

We met so many characters! This was so fun and something we never stop to do as a family. The boys (including Daddy) have outgrown that and don't want to waste ride time. This day we were able to enjoy it all! Happy Birthday cousin Hannah! teacups rockets Heaven help me when she turns 16!

One of the BEST parts of my day was the street parade. Hannah & Courtney headed home right before dinner. I wanted to stick around with Alli for the parade, since this is another thing we don't ever do with the boys. I knew she would LOVE it! We grabbed dinner and a front row seat and waited for the parade. Little did we know she'd get picked out of the crowd 3 times!! She got to dance with Tigger, and later participate in a train around the parade! Then they gave her a drum to bang on toward the end. What fun!! Here's a sketchy video. I guess my little camera couldn't handle the dark so well. There are 2 spots where I move the camera to the left. There's an asian girl dancing that I was trying to get a good pic of. She had an asian paparazzi surrounding her in a VIP area roped off next to us. I was thinking she may be one of the Olympic skaters since this was just days after the Olympics ended. Does anyone else recognize her?


On this day, we truly were at the Happiest Place on Earth! And we were the Happiest Mommy & Daughter!
