MORE BIRTHDAY . . .

The chef extrordinaire!
Alright the formal picture of us . . .

Barb at her best . . . Megan caught this candid shot for us as she went around taking pictures.


In our true form . . .


I am truly the most spoiled girl in the world. The celebration started at Disneyland and then continued at home with delicious pumpkin pancakes (made by the best chef) with whip cream topping and gifts and cards from the kids. Saturday night Grandma Langford arranged a fabulous dinner at the park where Auntie Mel, Bubba, Roland, Grammy, Ron as well as Barb, Kelly, Ally and Brit came to play. Afterwords the Barb and Kelly had a Sequence face off with Greg and me. Wonderful fun!

MORE DISNEYLAND!

Visiting the tiki room was a first for Greg and me . . . we had so much free time from zero lines that we had time for a visit to the Tiki Room.
More tiki room . . .
A trip wouldn't be complete without a hug and a quick visit with Mickey! Happy Birthday Mickey! We share the same birthday, which is why we have to go to Disneyland and celebrate.

In the tiki-tiki-tiki room, in the tiki-tiki-tiki room, all the birds sing words and the flowers bloom . .
Trent was a busy boy and ALWAYS on the go!

Kaylee and Ally hit it off and became inseparable buddies.

It's a bug's life for me!

Megan's favorite the carousel with Aunt Linda at California Adventure.

The two love birds still going strong!

Star Tours! After watching the loading film starring Chewbacca and other characters,Tyler was looking for him when we boarded the ship. The man behind us started making Chewie grunts while giggling and watching Tyler strain to find Chewbacca. It was hilarious!

MORE MAGIC!

Buzz Lightyear is our traditional first ride and one of our very favorites. The kids jumped for joy after our first time through defeating the Evil Emporer Zurg.
We attended the Magic of Brother Bear show at California adventure and had a chance to meet Brother Bear.

Kaylee was chosen out of the audience to help light the fire and the magic of Brother Bear. She was triumphant!


More Family Magic


We were fortunate to share our Disneyland trip with Cousins Barb, Kelly, Ally, and Briton as well as Uncle Jim and Aunt Linda.

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC!

My 5th Annual Birthday Celebration at Disneyland!

This year we stayed for 2 days and visited Disneyland and California Adventure. True to form there were no lines and we walked onto all the rides. We went to our favorites at Disneyland including fast- fiddling Billy and the Hilbillies show where Trent clapped and danced while shouting, "you're so funny!" during the entire show. Fortunately, we only lost Megan, once, when she walked out of the Buzz Lightyear Store without us. My heart nearly failed!
We loved California Adventure and experiencing the new rides like Soarin' over California, California Screamin' and Toy Story where we got to wear our cool shades! (pictured above) Kaylee and Tyler and Megan all swore on their lives they would never go on THE TOWER OF TERROR and then all three volunteered to go and were scared out of their minds! This is a great tradition . . . I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY!

his sisters were disgusted and wouldn't touch them.
