Disneyland Recap....

Well, we're back from the house of Mouse, and it was a great trip!!! Ryleigh was nervous on the rides (no tears) the first hour or so, and then really loved them!!! Our hotel room at the Paradise Pier was spacious, and we made it homey with Christmas Lights!!! The kids were treated like stars when we checked in receiving autographed pictures of characters and balloons!

Here are some highlights from the trip:

Losing my diamond out of my engagement ring on Main Street, Disneyland!

Reuniting with the Nance family for the first time since Guangzhou!!!

LEGOLAND!!! ( a must see for anyone visiting southern California, but make sure your little one is at least 34 inches, or they will sit in the stroller all day...like Ryleigh did).

WOW!! Sounds like that was amazing!!!!

We promised our son Chase 4 years ago that we'd go when he was 10 (that's in less than one year from now!!) Ummm...that was before we decided on doing an international adoption but he is NOT letting us forget his promise!!!

Looks like you had a great trip! I can't believe how grown up Ryleigh is starting to look. Nate is so envious of Austin's Jedi training!

Stacey,

What a fun trip! Love the pics. I hope my girls love the water this summer as much as Ryleigh does.

Thanks for sharing,
Dianne

Stacey, I'm so sorry to read you lost your diamond! Did you stop by City Hall to file a lost report "just in case??".

So glad to hear Ryleigh enjoyed her first trip to the Happiest Place on Earth! From the looks of pictures, she fits in with the rest of the Mouse Lovers in the family. :)

Merry Christmas!
