Before I get too ahead of myself...

... I need to catch up on the past few weeks.

Of course the highlight of one fantastic week in March was a quick trip down to DISNEYLAND!!!
I have to explain the story because it makes the trip just that much more sweet. For starters, we made some blankets for Disney's 'Give a day, Get a Day' promotion and earned two FREE tickets to Disneyland to use sometime before the end of the year. Next, we had earned a few FREE night stays toward Marriott hotels. Add to that the fact that Claire is not yet three (and therefore FREE), and we realized that we could have a whole trip for just the cost of a ticket for Hannah and food!! That is what I call WONDERFUL!!

We added some great friends to the mix, that worked things out similarly, and we had a trip!

Did I fail to mention that WE LOVE DISNEYLAND!?!?!

So, after overcoming a few health related obstacles, we made it through the gates and had a FABULOUS day!

It is never bad when you see Mickey right off the bat...


...and even better to see Minnie a few steps away!
We found Pluto next.

And finally Goofy :)

The only proof that I was there that day. (Do you see my lovely volunteer button?)

And yes, John was there too :)

Yay for Disney trips! We had no more than a 25 minute wait, and used FastPasses to bypass anything too, too busy. Hannah had a first, she rode SPACE MOUNTAIN, and in her words (and in the style of Molly Shannon a la SNL) she "LOVED IT!!!" (kicking her legs out all over the place).

We had to hurry home the next morning so John could catch a flight to Atlanta for work. It was a great trip!
