Cali Pictures

We had such a wonderful time in California for Spring Break.  Madeline was a bit of a hyper Piper on the flight there.  We flew Jet Blue, so we thought the TV would hold her attention - WRONG!  I brought a backpack full of things to do, but Maddie kept asking,"What else?"  She also spent some time going up and down the aisles.  She then decided she wanted to do somersaults off of her chair.  We were quite happy when we landed! 
 Of course Pink Bunny had to come along!  The first thing we did when we got home was wash her!

 On Tuesday, we went to Disney Land!!!  It was a beautiful day and we loved every second of it!  We met Aunt Tami and Uncle Billy there.  Aunt Tami had bags of surprises for the kids.  Mads, Adds and Ava were Snow White and Dane got some super cute and comfy Mickey gear!  Maddie and Addie then did a costume change to turn into Rapunzel.  Thanks Aunt Tami!!





 We watched a show and the girls were mesmerized!  Snow White blew the girls a kiss from the stage when she saw them. It was sweet!


 Mads was a bit apprehensive when it was time to talk to the princesses.  Addison was all about them, but Maddie just wasn't so sure. I wasn't sure how she would be...but I can't say I was surprised at her reaction.  I guess her daddy was the same way at her age!

 Aunt Tami helped convince Maddie to get closer to Cinderella!

It was very crowded on our Disney Land day, so we didn't do a ton, but it was perfect.  We went on "It's A Small World" and the girls loved it.  Maddie was pointing out things that she saw on the ride.
 
 Aunt Tami and Dane waited for us on top of the bridge at "It's A Small World."
 Maddie wasn't quite as afraid of Minnie as she was the princesses.  However, looking at the pictures, she wasn't exactly comfortable.  Minnie gave the girls kisses on their cheeks!

 Ava and Dane's first trip to Disney together!
 Dane was so good!  He just watches and takes it all in.  We love our little guy!
 Our attempt at a family photo!
 Aunt Tami took the girls into a shop on our way out.  She let them pick out 2 things and Maddie picked 2 dolls - a Tinkerbell doll and a Cinderella/Belle doll.  Addison picked a doll and suckers.  Addison needs to teach Madeline not to pick two big gifts!  Thanks Aunt Tami!  Madeline really loves her new dolls and has been bringing them everywhere with her.  She also got a beautiful Cinderella nightgown from Aunt Kristin that she just loves! 


 The girls got some new dance attire and were doing ballet.  Addison even taught Madeline her signature move!  They are just so sweet together and play so well.  The first thing Madeline asked for when she would wake up was Addison.  They spent a lot of time in their princess dresses.   Madeline is now in them a lot more since we've been home. 

 They had tea parties a couple of days, made cookies, went on Easter egg hunts, read books, played hide and go seek and just had so much fun!!!
 All of this playing can make for a tired little girl!  SO sweet that Addison gave Maddie her bed for the week.  It was very comfy and Madeline loved all of her special friends on her bed!
 We got to see Mimi a bunch and we loved it!  She cooked us a delish dinner and dessert.  She is so sweet and so much fun to be with.  We miss you Mimi!!!

 Allison got to meet Dane!
 Mimi and Dane were buddies!
 Madeline loved Addison's special princess chair from Grandpa Cesta. 
Loving her dolls from Disney!  They are super cute!

We wish we could head back to Cali tomorrow!
