Mid-May

Justin's THIRTIETH Birthday and Mother's Day landed within days of each other this year (they usually do), so mid-May was full of celebrations. We kicked things off with a surprise weekend get-away to Napa. I'd been planning this for a couple months. Keeping it a secret was SOOO hard, but it was well worth it. Turns out it's super fun to surprise Justin with weekend get-aways; guess we'll have to do it more often...shucks. ;)

We made it home to celebrate Mother's Day with the ones who qualify me to enjoy all sorts of spoiling on that day. Look at that scrumptious breakfast...yum! Being married to a good cook is THE BEST. Notice the crown Bryn generously let me borrow for the day.

Happy Birthday to our FAVORITE guy!! Justin was dreading the big 3-0, but let me tell you, he has been makin' it look goooooooooooooood! We love you, Justin!!

Disneyland!

My mom and Mark wanted to take Bryn to Disneyland for her birthday, but Justin and I didn't want to miss out on the fun and insisted on joining them. Before we knew it the whole fam-damily was coming along. It was so much fun to be there all together!

Bryn LOVED every minute, except for the ones spent on Pirates of the Caribbean, but especially the ones when princesses were involved. She wore an 'It's my Birthday' button, and every employee and even some guests made sure to wish her a happy birthday. Dancers and characters even came up to her from the parade to say happy birthday to her. It was so awesome! 

  

 

 

Audrey was a trooper. She endured long days, naps in the baby carrier and nursing in the midst of tons of distractions. Audrey, you rock!
 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

Bryn seeing Mickey was THE moment. Her eyes lit up in complete adoration. She had no attachment to Mickey Mouse prior to our trip to Disneyland, but I guess he just emits something magical. After our turn to greet Mickey was over, she moved to the side, sat down, and watched as he greeted all the other children. It was darling.
 

We left agreeing that Disneyland truly is the most magical place on earth!
