The Merriest Place on Earth

A couple of weeks ago we went to Disneyland...the happiest merriest place on Earth! We sort of made a tradition of going on Alannah's birthday the year she turned two.  We also went for her third birthday and had planned to go for her fourth birthday (one month away!) as well.  Buuut, I love Christmas at Disneyland and it had been years since I had been...and I knew Alannah would love it.  So we decided to go for Christmas instead of her birthday.  It was a good decision! We had so much fun! We decided to go on a Tuesday to avoid the crowds (I will never go to Disneyland on a Saturday again if I can help it).

This is the best time we have had at Disneyland with Alannah.  It was so pretty! And we got to go on some rides that aren't always open in January because they are still removing holiday decorations.

Alannah was much more into the rides this time and only got scared when we tried to get her to go on Splash Mountain (I'm scared of that ride).  Of course, most of her favorite rides were in Fantasy Land, but she also loved driving the cars.  

The highlight of the day was the Christmas parade.  We waited over an hour...but it was well worth it.  The excitement on Alannah's face was the best part of the day.  Disneyland is magical on its own...but seeing that magic light up my daughter's face is one of the best feelings.

           

 

We got to meet our share of characters too. We saw a few princesses and Tigger and Pooh.  

I think this may have been the best time I have had at Disneyland! We made magical memories that will last a lifetime!
