Disneyland!

(Jillian holds on to Mater's tooth)

We decided to take Jillian to Disneyland for her 3rd birthday. Well, actually, before her 3rd birthday so we wouldn't have to pay for her. We went for 3 days. Jillian's Mima and Papa made this happen for us and came with us for Jillian's first visit. We stayed at the Grand Californian and had adjoining rooms. That made going to the parks so easy. We also had a few visitors. Ethan and Adam came on our first day and the Stephens family joined us on the last day.
Jillian's first ride was supposed to be Dumbo but it broke down! This is from a later ride. We went to Casey Jr., the train ride right next door. Dumbo became ride #2.

The cousins together. They got along really well. Those boys have energy!

The grandparents and grandkids are ready to go!

Jillian loved meeting the characters. She didn't get her mom's fear of costumed characters.

Jason, Jillian, Emma and Doug. We were so happy they could join us!

We loved the World of Color show at California Adventure. It was beautiful and fun to watch Jillian get excited at each music and scene change.

Jillian's first character encounter with Alice.

The gang in front of Mima's favorite ride, Matterhorn.

Beginning our adventure on Day 2. We got in early and it wasn't very busy.
