Disneyland!

So I am sure those few of you that actually check my blog are tired of seeing the pictures of this past summer well I finally have something exciting to post about. Last weekend was my 30Th Birthday and Wes decided in June that we needed to go see Mickey for my birthday. I told him last year that I would take him but we ended up having Elliott instead. I think that was a good trade. So anyways, we decided that we were going to take Elliott with us. I was really worried about this. he had never flown before and is 16 months old and does not want to sit still for anything. Well our great friend Molly decided that she wanted to go with us so it was 3 adults to one 16 month old. The odd were in our favor. He did great on both of the flights. He only really got tired the last 30 minutes but so did I. We left on Thursday the 18Th and returned home on 22ND. He loved all of the characters and we did take him on several rides. He loved the Jungle Cruise. the adults even go tot go on several adult rides. Wes and Molly had the whole day on Sunday planned which was my actual birthday. My parents had bought tickets for Wes, Molly and I to attend the character breakfast that is held in Disneyland. Elliott LOVED it! We discovered that he really likes Eeyore. Who knew? Then we headed back to the hotel for nap time and then back to Disneyland for a surprise birthday party that Disneyland puts on. We got to decorate our own cakes and it was just a lot of fun. We then ended the evening having dinner in the Blue Bayou which is the restaurant that you see from the Pirates ride. Molly then took Elliott back to the hotel for a shared ice cream sandwich and then bath. Wes and i were able to have some mommy and daddy time and it was great. As many of you know, I am a huge Mickey fan and I could not have asked for a better 30Th Birthday. Thank you Wes and Molly for making it a birthday I will never forget. I love you both! Here a a few pictures of our event
