Instead of doing posts for each individual day, I'm doing one GIANT (and I mean GIANT) post from our trip to disneyland. For the first time in a while, I actually do not know when we will return to Disneyland, so I soaked in every second of this trip, and took many photos to remember all the FUN we had :) It was so fun to have an annual pass, and I'm a bit sad that it officially expires on February 13th :(

Here we are in front of the Golden Gate Bridge, which will be coming down when they re-do and remodel California Adventure. Last opportunity to have our picture in front of it.

The Tastes Pilot Grill where we had lunch

Pretty good food!

WOW! Lots of great pictures! Looks like the weather stayed nice for you guys and that the kids had a blast like usual, especially your dare devil Ava! I love it!
LOve all the pictures! Looks like you had another great trip!(not like any trip to DL could be that bad)!! :) Glad you had fun!
Great post Michelle! All three of your babies have such gorgeous smiles! I LOVE the one of Carter giving Minnie a hug...so precious! Don't they just melt your heart?!?!
It looks like you had another amazing trip to Disney!! I really enjoyed seeing your Disney posts throughout the last year and seeing how much Carter's enjoyment and excitement (it's very cute how much he loves all the characters) was greater with each trip and wow, now Ava can do all the big rides just like Cristian. What an awesome experience for you and the kids!!
Carter has to have made some kind of record for a NW kid going to d-land! You really like those pickles...something you need to share with us? :o)
