DISNEYLAND-The Happiest Place on Earth


At least the Carters think this is the happiest place on earth. As many of you know we LOVE Disneyland, we have been going as a family since Chandler was 2. Sorry about all the pictures but when you have over 400 to sort through it gets a little difficult. But hopefully you can get a taste of what fun we had!
HOW WILL YOU CELEBRATE????
This is how the Carters celebrated!
You can't have a party unless both sets of grandparents are there, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

...we celebrated by seeing Minnie and Mickey!

...we celebrated by overcoming our fear of Splash Mountain. Meagan before and after the big drop. Way to go Meagan!
...we celebrated by all of us being able to go on rides together. No one sitting out because they aren't tall enough or staying with the sleeping child in the stroller.

...we celebrated by going on "Screamin'" and definitely doing some screaming!

...we celebrated by wishing our little princess a Happy 5th Birthday! Girls only lunch at Ariel's Grotto. (a little on the pricey side but the little girls loved it and the big girls loved the idea of only girls allowed)

...we celebrated by getting pictures taken with some of our favorite characters! Chandler was a great sport even though he was "too cool" for character pictures he still managed a smile.

...

...we celebrated by going on all the rides even though they weren't our choice because we were too big and 13 year olds aren't supposed to enjoy the merry go round for the 5th time in a row.
...we celebrated by trying to have fun on rides just because we can't have the front every single time.
...we celebrated like a pirate!
...we celebrated with a yummy Sunday dinner with friends and a thrilling game of Settlers.(which I won BOTH times, but who is keeping track)
Wishing you an early Merry Christmas! (this may be the only greeting I send out this holiday season so you better enjoy!)

Oh it does look like a grand time. I thought of you several times and knew you would be having a ball. Glad that no one was sick this year. I hope you were able to unwind a little from all of your YW and PTA responsibilities. I know it wasn't quite relaxing but atleast a change and plenty of time to be with the ones you love. We love Disney too!!

Stinkin' fun! This is a great tradition... one we Widts may need to copy one of these days--if I still have any kids left at home when we get around to it, that is!

Glad May had a Disney B-day. We love you guys!
