Disneyland Vacation

Our amazing Disneyland trip back in January for Evie's Birthday and a fantastic Family Vacation 7-10.  This trip has actually been my focus for a whole photo album in Shutterfly along with a few other Shutterfly albums.  This is why I have hardly been Blogging lately.  So where I actually have a ton of details about this wonderful time, the Blog is going to get the super condensed version and mostly just some of the best pictures! :)

Here is a cute picture of Evie as we drive to the airport with my parents.  Thanks for taking us bright and early to the airport Mom and Dad.

We had a real nice flight.  Everyone did amazing and while it was a bit of a juggling act with the two car seats and luggage trying to move around we managed and made it to our destinations.

One of the first rides of the day for our family once at Disneyland was Finding Nemo.  Here are Evan and I in the submarine.

Then we rode the Buzz Lightyear's AstroBlasters.  Evan thought this was cool until he saw Zurg.

One of Evan's favorite rides, by far...Autopia!  He loved being able to drive a real race car.

A family photo with Mickey and two nervous kiddos.  This was our first attempt at a family picture with a character at the park.  Memories!

Evie did get a little more brave after our visit with Mickey and actually gave Minnie a hug!  We were so proud of her.

As you can see we started to get even more comfortable as the trip progressed; here we all are with Pluto.

This is a picture of Jim and the kids at the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail, in California Adventure.  Both kids absolutely loved this place, especially Evan.  Just look at that joy on his face.  It was an awesome place to get out some energy and run!

Here is our super brave little guy with Handy Mandy.  He got his picture with him all by himself and actually smiled.  Awesome to see this progression through our trip.

Our sweet little birthday girl waiting in line for Dumbo.  What a beautiful two year old!

Here is a picture of Evie and Daddy on the ride.

Our trip included seeing the new World of Color show at California Adventure it was fantastic.  Here is a cute picture of Evan waiting for it to begin...

...and here is a picture of Evie and I after the show had finished, but they still had the cool water and lights on display so you could get pictures.

Evie on Toy Story Mania.  We all had a great time on this ride.  I just love how little she is in the seat.

Our picture with Buzz Lightyear while Daddy was waiting in line for his roller coaster ride.

Daddy had to ride at least one roller coaster, California Screamin' was it.  This was a perfect one because me and the kids got to see him blast off!

Evan picked out this cool jet for his special Disneyland toy.  He had so much fun running and pretending to fly it all over the park.

My little posers during a potty break near the Magic Castle!

Evan and Daddy on Gadget's Go Coaster.  They had a blast!  Mommy and Evie couldn't ride (Evie because she was too short and Mommy because she was prego) so we just took some pictures and watched the boys in action.

These were just two adorable picture of Evan hugging one of his newest favorite Disney characters, Bolt.

Overall, the trip was awesome and huge blessing to be able to spend time with family, celebrate our little girl's 2 birthday, and of course have fun at the Happiest Place on Earth. :)  Good times for our first Family Visit to Disneyland- Here's to many more!
