Turning 8

My beautiful Olivia was baptized in February! Can't believe she's already 8!

Disneyland 2011

Way back in April we made the insane decision to go to Disneyland over Spring Break. I know. Apparently 799,000 of our closest friends from Utah decided to do the same thing. Haha :) We flew there which was honestly, the best decision we made out of the entire trip. Never will I drive. However, we will NOT EVER get a hotel that's farther than a block away. So totally not worth waiting 30-40 minutes for a shuttle with hungry, tired kids.

The culminating moment of this trip was waiting in line with my five year old for 45 minutes to see Princesses. You didn't get your pick of princesses, you get what you get and don't throw a fit. ;) The entire 45 minutes she's saying "I hope we see Belle. I really hope we see Belle. I will be so so so SO happy if we see Belle." I had chatted with the Charming Princes and found out that it was Jasmine, Tiana, and Ariel. Sigh. We saw Princess Tiana, came around the corner, and there, in all her princessliness beauty, was Belle. Oh my lands.... I literally saw the magic of Disneyland through my 5-year old's eyes. :)
