It's just a magical place.......

There is nothing like Disneyland during the holidays. I absolutely LOVE it! The decorations are breathtaking. Every detail is perfect. The tree on Mainstreet the castle with the snow, the Mickey wreaths throughout the park. Even the cotton candy is white like snow with red and green sugar sprinkled on it. The caramel apples are in the shape of a snowman wearing a Mickey hat of course. The parade with Mickey and Minnie ice skating and Santa with his reindeer. Small World with all of it's lights. Ohhh if I could only live there.

This trip, while planned, did not initially include a trip to Disneyland. It was a trip for another one of Kai's competitions. She had a competition in Burbank on the 14th and 15th. After talking to my friend Cristina, she and I decided that we would go a day early and go to Disneyland. It wasn't until after that planning that we realized that it would be the first day of the Holiday season at the park. We were even more excited.

Cristina's sister-in-law works at Disneyland and she goes every chance that she can get. Her brother Robert's wedding was Disney themed. I'll never forget that our table at the wedding was Twiddle Dee and Twiddle dumb. I have never met a couple that love Disney as much as them. Kim started working at the Disneyland hotel, and she worked her way up the ladder. Now she works at the Park and helps with the parades and the events. How lucky is she? She can tell you every detail about Disneyland right down to how many bathrooms it has. She even goes to the park on her days off. And, I'm even a little jealous of her because she and Robert have dined at Club 33 on numerous occasions. I would love to dine there at least once in my lifetime. Hopefully one of these days.

So, although we did not have dinner at Club 33, we did get to do a lot considering we were only there for the day. We saw the parade, the Small World light show and most importantly, we saw it snow on Mainstreet. And here comes a confession. I cried when it starting snowing. We were standing right in the middle of Mainstreet they lit up the huge tree in all white lights, Christmas music starting coming through the speakers and the snow started falling. When I turned to look at the castle, it to was lit up in all white lights, it was amazing. I couldn't help but shed a few tears. It really was magical.














I want to go back!!!!!

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Flashback Friday

This Friday, I am participating in two links. My first is with Alicia over at More Than Words . There are only two weeks to go for TDA's Summer Recital. This year it will be held at Higley Performing Arts on June 20 at 7:00. Kassie will be in aproximately 14 dances so far. Might change though. Hopefully it will change to less. : ) Recital is in full swing right now. Every day, you see kids walking out with their costumes. It is so cute. I especially love seeing the little two and three year olds. They are always so excited. This is a picture of Kai in her 2nd Recital with TDA. It was her first year taking more than two classes. I think she was in five or six recital numbers. It was her first official ballet dance. She had never taken a full ballet class. She since has learned to love it. This picture was taken in 2005 making her only nine years old. How fast time goes..... June 2005
