Disneyland for girls.....

****LOTS OF PICTURES ALERT****
My sister organized a girls princess trip to Disneyland. She booked us (and paid for) a big ol' suite at the California Grand hotel which has a private entrance into California Adventure and Downtown Disney. And also made reservations (and paid for)for breakfast with the Princesses.
We were soooo excited for this trip!!! My sister-in-law Shelly and her 5 adorable girls were able to make it as well and we had a blast! So Sunday afternoon Gracie and I flew out to Phoenix to meet up with my sis. (It was cheaper to fly to Phoenix than to L.A.)
Monday we drove to Anaheim and checked into our AWESOME hotel. Tuesday and Wednesday we spent at the parks and Thursday headed back to Mesa. And Friday evening we flew home.

Highlights for Gracie:
Meeting the Princesses, playing with cousins, going to Build-A-Bear Workshop in Downtown Disney, riding Peter Pan, Small World, and "the elephants"(DUMBO), and driving the cars.

Highlights for me:
Hanging out with all the girls, the thrill of staying at the Grand, the concierge service, building a bear with Gracie, switching off with my sis-in-law to go on the Tower of Terror (AWESOME!!!!), meeting the princesses (yes I admit it, I think I loved it almost as much as Gracie)

The sad part:
We missed Daddy sooooo much! Saying goodbye to the my sis's and nieces. Saying goodbye to Disneyland.

Thank you so much Kathy for an incredible, memorable trip!!

I am so jealous! I can't wait until we can bring our girls to Disney. I have such magical memories of going when I was little :) and that was before every little girl owned a princess dress. I can only imagine it would be even better now :)

What a fun trip. Girls trips, especially cousin/sister girl trips, absolutely rock.

By the way, the song that is playing right now is in spanish, and it is really pretty, and it makes reading the english SO MUCH EASIER than when songs sung in english are playing, lol.
