We had three fun filled days together at Disneyland. For the first time since the week Ben was born, he got to see all 3 sets of grandparents on the same day (hard to believe that hasn't happened since then). We re so thankful for everyone who came to celebrate with us.
We checked into our hotel Thursday morning before heading over to the park. Jack was not pleased that he couldn't run around.
Ben was ready to go though
waiting in line for Toy Story Mania
After lunch Ben asked for cotton candy. By the time he finished, he had a sticky face and pink sleeves.
My dad and DeAnn spent the day with us. Ben loved spending time with Grandpa
He was a smiling boy the whole trip
waiting for the Disney Jr live show which both of the boys loved
by early afternoon, we got into our room and the boys went wild
before we made a mess
playing on the balcony
they have fun everywhere we go
until one of them gets their fingers smashed in the door (Ben)
after not taking a nap all day, Ben fell asleep right before dinner
Jack was wide awake though
we met my mom and Tom for dinner
why is it so hard to get a picture where we are all smiling?
Ben enjoying his pudding, crushed oreo and gummy worm dessert while making silly faces at grandma
then she got both of them to make silly faces
I was so happy to get to spend a lot of time with my mom
wow, when was the last time you saw a picture of the two of us together :)
Ben insisted on getting a light up toy
waiting for the world of color show to start
Ben was having a lot of fun while waiting
and Jack slept through everything
My dad and DeAnn got in line early that night so we would have a good spot for the show. They were helpful like that the whole time we were there.
back in the room by 9pm and the boys are eating the chocolates that were left on our nightstand
up early the next morning to go meet my mom and Tom
Jack driving on the autopia cars
you can't see him very well but Ben's in the middle
going from ride to ride, the boys were having a blast
riding the train, Ben was pretending he was a wild animal
then while eating popcorn, he thought it was funny to show us what was in his mouth
Jack slept through all of this
so Drew and I took Ben to meet Mickey
waiting in line to meet the big guy
no hesitation on Ben's part
by the time we were down, a lot more people showed up (my dad, DeAnn, Sarah, Chad, Luke, my aunt Donna and cousins Emma and Aaron). We all went on it's small world together and took up a whole boat.
Luke loves his grandma
Ben was so excited to spend time with his cousins. They both were great with him!
Jack is in deep thought about something
Sarah and my dad. You can't even tell she is 6 months pregnant here
Jack and Luke love holding hands
my sweet nephew Luke. We miss him so much!
Ben wanted a pirate gun after we went on Pirates of the Caribbean
watching the Christmas parade with grandma
Luke's got a nice little seat to sit on
I love how much these 3 little guys love each other
our own private caboose on the train
by early evening, Loree, Cary and Michael joined us. Unfortunately, by then the crowds had gotten really bad
time for their nightly before dinner nap
in line for astro blasters, the boys were having a blast together
my mom had gotten them all matching sweatshirts beforehand
Ben and Mimi
watching the fireworks with my boys
we were up even earlier the next morning so we could get to the park before it got crowded
best friends these two
eying everyone's food on the table
I didn't pose this, they did it on their own
Dumbo seemed to be a favorite of Ben and Jack
I can't believe how old they are looking
Ben was excited to have Popi there
Jack got this look on every ride we went on. So much to take in
Ben had a smile on every ride
like my own two little ones, these two could cause some trouble together
I love him!
one last time seeing most of my family before they left
my mom wanted a picture of them with the 3 boys. This is what she got
after an afternoon of resting, we met up with my dad
Ben was running all over the rope bridges with him
Jack was enjoying it too
meeting Dug the dog from the movie Up. Jack wasn't a fan
I wasn't feeling well at all by this time. We called it a night shortly after this.
the next morning, it was time for breakfast with Goofy before we headed home
still smiling
Loree and Michael
Jack looking for more food. His shirt isn't dirty enough
After we sang happy birthday to Ben
