Ashleigh’s 4

  1st Birthday

2nd Birthday

3rd Birthday

When your 4 you should celebrate at least 4 times right?  Here she is at Aunt Lorra’s house.  We celebrated all the January Birthdays.

Next a party at our house with family and friends.  She asked for a Tinkerbell cake.

 

Her good friend Dylan brought her a scooter.  He got one for Christmas and thought if she had one they could ride together.

I didn’t get pictures but she also celebrated at preschool with her preschool friends.

And finally her actual birthday.  By this time we were sick of cake so she got a big chocolate chip cookie.

Her favorite toy.  Ice Cream play dough set.

Then on to Autotopia.  Where the kids really did drive us crazy A new tradition that we’ve started since we’ve become parents– eating at the Blue Bayou, the restaurant in the Pirates of the Caribbean. We spilt up today sending the big kids with Lorra, John, and Jeff while the rest of us took the littles through an adventure in Fantasy Land and Toon Town.  With dad’s wheel chair they were able to go through the lines very quickly.Notice who’s missing.  Karolyn hates the tea cups! Spin faster. Alice in Wonderland, Ashleigh kept asking, “Is this Real?”

Mr.. Toads Wild Ride Fantasy Land Carousel

Disney Day 2

First order of business – ride Midway Mania at California Adventures.  Its a Toy Story shooting game ride in 3D.  Here we are in line.  The line is usually over 45 minutes but we only waited 20.Kenyon was very excited.

Logan and Grandpa

The game was fun.  Jeff got the highest score 147,000+.

Next on the agenda California Scream.  Not a great close- up shot of everyone but they’re there.  Logan loved this ride.  Makenzie was about an inch short = lots of tears.   

The kids that were too short rode on the carousel.  Ok not as fun but most of them didn’t mind.

Kenyon worked up the nerve to stand next to Woody, one of his favorite characters.

 

 We also saw Jesse.

Disney Day 1

Our first day at Disneyland was a little soggy, thus all the raincoats.  Soggy weather = short lines.  We rode Space Mountain first thing and the wait time was less than 10 minutes.  Then we headed over to the rockets.  Here are Ashleigh, Kenyon, Makenzie, Hannah, and Jacob waiting in line.

Aunt Michelle with Jacob and Kenyon.  Kenyon loved the rockets.  He kept saying I’m flying, I’m flying.

 Karolyn with Ashleigh and Faith.

Jeff, Logan and I waiting in line to see Tinkerbell and the rest of the fairies.

Dad looked kind of ridiculous in his hat but it kept him warm.

 

The kids.

Ashleigh and Kenyon didn’t want to stand next to the characters.

With Tink

Riding Pirates.  Makenzie was super nervous every time we went down a hill.

Tiana

Kenyon’s favorite ride – the train. 

 Here we are waiting for the Pixar Parade.  The kids and the adult really enjoyed it.  Mom and dad were worn out and had already gone back to the hotel.

Heimlich

Still watching the parade.

Faith and Ashleigh on the lady bug ride.

The Wolfingtons and aunt Michelle went back to Disneyland at the end of the day to watch Fantasmic.  The kids really enjoyed the show.  Michelle and Karolyn froze as they sat saving a place to sit for over an hour.  But it was worth it.
