Disneyland Day 2 (Valentine's Day)

Here we are walking to Disneyland from our hotel since it was sunny and really close... the theme for this year is Celebrate Today.
The first ride we went on was the Matterhorn. (one of Ava's favorites)

Cristian Duck Hunting while waiting in line to go to Pixie Hollow
Ava wanted a picture of her Valentine Minnie Mouse. (one of their Valentine's Day presents from us... Cristian got Valentine Mickey, Ava got this Minnie, and Carter got Winnie the Pooh.)
Happy Baby
The kids with Tinker Bell at Pixie Hollow
Then we went to toontown to do the rides there.

Carter with his Red Mickey shirt for Valentine's day
All of us on Toon Town Roller Coaster (if you enlarge the pic you can see us better) =)
Carter and Mommy with Goofy
Look how strong they are =) The kids loved playing around in Toon Town
Our family (and one random kid) Pulling on King Arthur's Stone
Since it was Valentine's Day while we were there, my mom bought them matching red Mickey Mouse sweatshirts and a Valentines' Day Lanyard pin for their pin collection... aren't they cute =)
And the guys in their matching disneyland polo shirts, with their matching backpacks, and coffee, LOL. They were such troopers for agreeing to wear this ensemble for our enjoyment!
Aren't we the most Adorkable family ever... everyone was matching. My mom, sister, and I all bought ourselves matching Disneyland shirts =)
Carter liked to take bites out of pooh bear's nose.
Mmmm, pooh bear tastes good.

Carter on Dumbo with Daddy
We met our friends the Moceri's for half a day... here is their daughter Ana and my 3 kids on dumbo.
The parents with their kids (Nick and Beth with Ana... they also have another daughter Ella, but she stayed with Beth's parents) Nick is going to grad school at UCLA right now to become a TV show writer (I'm sure it has a more technical name)... he's currently doing his internship on the set of Brother's and Sister's and gets to sit in on the readings and has input on the script. How cool is that!
Nick's Parents, Steve and Joane Moceri were there too. We grew up traveling with the Moceri's, in fact my first trip to Europe was with their family =) It was fun to have 3 generations of travelers together.
Ana and Ava
My kids with Mickey inside Mickey's house at Toontown.
Mommy nursing Carter, and the other two throwing pennies into the fountain in toontown.
Ava and Cristian got to sit on the front of the boat for the Story book ride... Cristian was shooting at all the ducks, LOL. Such a boy.
