3rd installment of Disneyland pictures

Well I guess these are mostly California Adventure pictures.  Here's Minnie in her flight suit signing the kid's books and Brena's Wright Cause t-shirt.  JoJo is looking on since she got Minnie to sign her's already back at Minnie's house in Toon Town. 

JoJo wasn't going to sit out of a photo op though.  It was so fun to see all the kids get excited about pictures with the characters, especially the big kids.

Lightning McQueen and Mater were not into signing autograph books but they posed well for pictures. 

Delanie and Peyton loving the vintage Minnie Mouse.

The ferris wheel on Paradise Pier is HUGE!  All those compartments where you sit slide along towards the center and back as the wheel rotates.  I just said no to that ride.  But it sure looks cool from far away.

BFF's

Not sure where I was while these were being taken?  This is a great photo op location!  BFF's in a box!

Brother action figures take one...

Brothers in action take two!

Back at Disneyland, the whole gang of kids with Goofy. Q is playing the part of Goofy's understudy.

Madhatter was awesome!  He had so much personality and really interacted with the kids. They got into the crazy spirit too!

It really is all about the cupcakes these days.  Delanie and Peyton were loving all the candy shops and bakery's with cupcakes and super fun treats.

Disneyland 2011

The boys were super excited even at 6:30 am when we left for the airport!

The girls were a little more subdued...they would have loved a little more sleep before heading off to Disneyland.

Grandpa Chuck dropped us off at the airport.  Then when bags were checked and the gate was found we settled in for a bit of a wait.  There were the readers and the DS players.  And then there was the "coffee" drinker too!

John was so ready to get to a true shorts weather destination.

The plane going was not full at all and we enjoyed stretching out with lots of space. 

Valentine's Extravaganza!

Here are some fun pictures from Valentine's prep, off to school to share goodies with friends and Valentine's morning too.

 

  

  

  

  

Quinn and JT gave these fun treats out to their friends and teachers.  I got the idea  here   and here .

They love music and playing guitar hero too, so these seemed a great match for them.

  

  

  

  

JoJo LOVES cotton candy and I found the perfect idea here to make goodies to share with her friends and teacher.  She created her own stamped cards and wrote Love, JoJo on each one!  

She was very proud and excited to get to school.  

  

  

  

  

  

  

Peyton was so excited and prepared pink heart pancakes for the little kids and even 

had gifts for each of them.  Misty got into the spirit of the day too!

I've been wanting to cover our couch pillows for quite awhile and took advantage of the beautiful red print fabric I got from you mom at Christmas.  I made the cover double thick and added some cotton batting to camouflage the pokey feathers that are in the stuffing. 

  

I appliqued felt hearts on the back and added buttons to help secure the ties.  I wanted it to be zipper free and it has been fun to have something cute on the back when I find the pillow on the floor!

Getting ready for Valentine's Day was so fun and celebrating the actual day with the family was even better!  I had a couple other things I did to decorate and celebrate the kids. I post some pics when I snap them up before the decorations come down.
