Disneyland

Here's Madison's first look as we entered Main Street.

My mom, Maddie, and I went to Disneyland for my birthday on Thursday (since you go free on your big day).

Maddie loved the carousel!

Her eyes were fluttering as we flew around on the tea cups. It seemed like she enjoyed it!

It's A Small World redecorates just for Christmas. It was beautiful, but really sad that there was absolutely no mention of Jesus and His birth. The world misses why we rejoice this season.

Mads kept pointing at each new scene with such excitement.

Main Street and the tree.

In front of the castle.

Dumbo!

We went to Toon Town towards the end of the day. I think Madison had had it- she just laid on the ground! A bit tired.

That's my girl!

Watching the Christmas Parade.

Madison fell asleep during the parade and all of dinner. So, my mom and I enjoyed a quiet meal at Big Thunder Ranch BBQ.

Right before the fireworks show, Maddie woke up!

Brrrr....it was so cold!

Castle at night.

The next morning we walked around Downtown Disney.

This was certainly a fun way to celebrate my birthday! I'm so glad we were able to go. Thanks for joining us, Mom!

We did miss Jesse, but I had a wonderful dinner out with him the night before.
