First Trip to Disneyland!

Allie's first trip to Disneyland was fan-tas-tic! We really had a great time. It was a cool day, with a light crowd. We used our Give-a-day, Get-a-day tickets. The best part was to see her eyes light up with each new experience. After every ride, Allie said "Let's do it again!"
What a fabulous day!

We started out at King Arthur's Carousel. We rode it 3 times that day. We all got a turn. :)


Allie could not wait to get on Dumbo, and you know that line is slow!!!


Next, we were on to the teacups. Allie was really excited cause her favorite Disney movie is Alice in Wonderland.


Allie was so mad that this little door to this little house would not open.
Grandpa tried to explain it to her.


Allie's first mouse ears! The ears completed her outfit! And yes, I made her dress.


Off to small world. Allie knew the song from listening to Disney music in her playroom. She was excited when she heard it- it was familiar to her!


Finding Minnie Mouse in toontown. Minnie just loved Allie's outfit and Allie just loved Minnie!


Buzz Lightyear's Astroblasters-We couldn't get her to look at the camera, her head was spinning with all the Toy Story characters-her other favorite movie.


Allie thought this was a temple. So cute!


It was fun to go with Grandma and Grandpa.



Waiting for the parade to start-Allie holding her much loved, new Minnie Mouse doll. And which still to this day, never leaves her side!



Sitting on Blaine's shoulders to see the parade and all her favorite characters. There were fun Halloween decorations all over Disneyland!

Dancing Queen

Today was Allie's first dance lesson. This class is run through the local parks and recreation here in Bakersfield. Allie has been excited to take these lessons for weeks now. Here's some cute photos and videos of the 45-minute lesson.












Allie is the one in the back, hanging onto to the bar. She was doing as the teacher told them to do-hold onto the bar.



Allie listening to the teacher and holding her pose. Again, she's the one in all pink, behind the black leotard girl.




This one's funny. She's all over the place, on the floor, and then she follows the teacher for a bit and then comes and asks me for a dum-dum.





There is a mirror the whole length of the wall in the front of the class. Allie can't get enough of herself. I love the ballet run!



Once you get Allie spinning, there is no stopping her!

Two Cute Girls


Allie and her friend Emma could not be any cuter together. From the strollers, to the babies, to the purses and aprons, they are too much!
