Fall Break in Disneyland with Violet and Davis

Cameron, Andy, and Max planned a fun fishing trip for fall break, so we planned our own trip to Disneyland! We flew out in the morning and went straight to Disneyland.




I was actually kind of nervous to go as the only adult with two little kids, but I think it may have been my most favorite trip to Disneyland ever. It was really special to be with my "two little mice" and to be with just them and to experience the magic with just them. I love them so much and will treasure this trip forever. 


My favorite pic from the trip haha. Davis was actually very well behaved for the most part, but did NOT want to take this picture after we'd stood in line. The photographer captured his rebellion and it was pretty perfect.

Love my girl.

Ferris wheel pic! We spent day 2 in California Adventure.


The few times we've done this drawing class with Davis have ended up with him throwing a fit because he's frustrated that his drawing doesn't look perfect. :)



I splurged for a line-free ride on the Cars Ride.




Day 3 we went back to Disneyland.




Made Davis wear the Woody costume for one final time. He was a bit embarrassed by it this time. Plus you can tell by his big wedgie he's grown out of it lol.

We did our favorite Minnie's breakfast for brunch!





Love him. Lots of rage in his little body.

They're the cutest little friends and had so much fun together this trip. It was very magical.



Proof that I'm sometimes a fun mom and buy them fun treats occasionally.





Davis's first time on Space Mountain! He loved it. He also loved Matterhorn. He says that's his favorite ride.




We paid for reserved seating for Fantasmic. It was so cool to have such great seats. In typical Davis fashion, he moved up to the front row and befriended a random adult and chatted her ear off.

Violet's 8th Birthday


Our girl turned 8! She's very into American Girl dolls, so most of her gifts were related to dolls. I gifted her my Kirsten doll (after she'd made a visit to the doll hospital). 

We went to Sol Agave to celebrate her birthday as a family.

We had a fantastic party with tons of her cute friends! We had a cereal bar for dinner, we watched the Parent Trap, and played fun games.

Max and Graham were so cute. All on their own they decided to be a butler and a chef for the party. They did so much prep. They made menus for the girls, took their orders, made their cereal, and got them drinks. They were so cute and very serious about it.


I can't handle her. I love her so much.



The cute menus Max and Graham made.


I think Max's chef name was "Pierre."

Cutest besties, Violet and Monroe.


We did a fun game we used to play at my parties growing up where the kids passed around a choclate bar wrapped in foil and tried to break it open with a fork while holding an oven mitt.



The girls all brought their dolls and Max and Graham had the idea to hide the dolls in the basement all doing funny things. Their hiding spots really cracked me up.

 


Violet loves donuts and wanted a donut cake.




A cute cousin shot. Penny and Grace got to sleep over after the party.
