a birthday fit for a princess...

We spent Sara's birthday at Disneyland. We only managed a few rides, but had a wonderful time nonetheless!

First up was her hair and face painting...

And then we rushed across the park to California Adventure to have lunch with Ariel and her friends at Ariel's Grotto. Very expensive (thank you Grandpa Ted), but it was so worth it to see her face light up when each of the princesses came to our table to sign her autograph book and to snap a picture.

After lunch, it was back over to Disneyland where we rode a few rides. Sara finally got to ride Indiana Jones, so she was thrilled to say the least. Between the three times she's been there she has rode nearly every ride. And her favorite? The roller coasters! I have to admit Space Mountain is one of my favorites!

So Sara's birthday was decidedly more exciting than Austin's. But I don't think I could have handled anymore and he doesn't care at this point. Thank goodness!

Stay tuned for my daily musings from the Journal Your Christmas class. I'm hoping they'll be daily, but we'll just have to see how THAT goes! Have a good weekend ya'll!

Journal Your Christmas

Hello all! I wanted to tell you guys about an online class called Journal Your Christmas. It's with Shimelle Laine. I've never taken one of her classes, but I've heard great things about her. I was turned onto this class by reading Donna Downey's blog. Love that girl, she is SO funny. Anyway. I decided to take this class because Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE time of year. No lie. I love all the beautiful sights, wondrous sounds, and not to mention all the delicious smells! Yum. I want to document all this warm and fuzzy goodness.

So...won't you join me? You can either click on the picture over in the sidebar or here. Christmas is a very special time of year and we all have traditions to various degrees. So why not document them for posterity!

And just for fun...

These are our stockings...what's wrong with this picture?

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Short Birthday Recap...

Okay, basically just pictures. :) Austin only got a couple of gifts for his birthday because he's 2 and doesn't really care.

But he did score big on one...

He loves his little quad. And so does Logan. So it's a bit of an issue right now, but it'll all come out in the wash. I'm praying. :)

I'm going to keep this short because my wrist is killing me right now. More updates soon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday baby! We love you!
