I know all mothers say it... but I can't believe two years have already passed! Guess what they say is true... time flies when you are having fun! We all enjoy our little Karly girl to peices and this past week was ALL ABOUT HER!!! Starting with her first trip to DISNEYLAND, which I have been waiting for...
She is totally into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the Disney Channel, so we had been talking up Disneyland for a while... she was way excited that morning...
Mayme, Tarly and Dramma (she has developed into Dramma instead of Bamma now =)
"Mom, where in the heck are we?!?"
The Mad Hatter was instructing a band right as we walked in... Karly is way into music, she was ready to spend the rest of the day at the entrance!
She was amazed to see Mickey and Minnie EVERYWHERE!!!
A picture with my birthday girl in front of My Disneyland Birthday sign =) Kathie and Rick paid for us to enjoy a character breakfast buffet... I've never done this before and it was way cool! The characters all visit you while you enjoy a bomb breakfast...
... for the life of us we can't remember this guys name, but he had a good time with both Drammas!!!
Dramma Kel....
... Dramma Kathie warned him not to mess up her hair!!! =)
Minnie was into Ricky, which made him turn the color of her dress... LOVE IT!
Karly was a little overwhelmed at first to see all the Characters in real life...
... until she saw that Minnie Mouse was there! She was the only one she would get close to... even let her give her a kiss! The others she was kind of freaked out about.... especially Eeyore, when he would come to the table she would say "Bye Bye Eeyore!"
Gepetto hit on Dramma...
... and on Mayme! It was a really nice start to the day... THANKS AGAIN RICK AND KATHIE!!!
The first ride of the day was the rockets!!!
Mom and Amy had a fun time trying to fit into one rocket =)
"What was that!?!"
Papa Rick was excited to take Kar to Toon Town...
... here they are on top of Daisy's boat!
Then we headed into Mickey's house...
... Karly turning up the tunes!
Checking out Mickey's Garden.
...She was amazed with everything!
... especially meeting Mickey Mouse at the end!!!
Me, Mickey, Karly and Amy
Grandma and Kar in Mickey's Ride!
The Tea Cups were my idea =/
The carousel was Karly's idea, but she did not want to ride one of the horses! She was perfectly comfy in Grandma Kathies arms!
Waiting for Pirates of the Carribean... the lines were great, I don't think we waited longer than 10 minutes in any line!!!
... almost there =)
Dramma and Kar
The day was all laughs!
Mayme and Kar
Time for the Haunted Mansion =/... she actually liked it =) My child cries for tea cups and carousel, but loves Haunted Mansion.. who knew?
My Honey!!!
In laws... these two can't stand each other... can you tell?
Me and My love!
Me and my beautiful irish Mom!
A classic converse shot!
... she had this Disneyland thing down by this time!!!
Kathie got her this adorable Minnie Mouse hat!
The pregnant lady and her pickle!!! YUM!
Tired baby girl...
"No I'm NOT!!!"
But she couldn't fight it! We sat in California adventure sipping on beer and eating sourdough bread... well no beer for me, the first thing I am going to have when Abby is born! =)
Aunt Kate told Kar to get a picture with Pluto and Goof... so when she saw these posters she ran up to take a picture! THATS MY GIRL!!!
She couldn't leave out Donald!
While everyone else went on Soaring Over California, Mom and I took Karly to A Bugs Life Land.... which was a huge hit!
Mom and Daughter kisses!
Papa Rick got Karly this mickey baby... she was so cute with him. She would say... "Mickey... you scared of Hopper? It otay Mickey, shhhh!" as she patted his butt!
My all time favorite was the end of the night when we watched the Fantasmic show... to see's Kar's eyes light up like that was an indescribable feeling... THE BEST! The look on her face in this picture just describes how much fun she had!
Mom and Dramma knocked out for the ride home!
She woke up the next morning and could not stop talking about Disneyland... she had to go up and tell Aunt Kate about it (Kt couldn't go because of work, we missed her =(
Aunt Kate and Kar
Cooking breakfast in her undies...
Hanging out in her and Abby's new play room...
Being two is a tiring job!
The friday after her actual birthday we had a small family birthday party to celebrate with everyone who couldn't make it to Disneyland. Father/Daughter shots...
I think my husband still wins on the deepest dimples in the family =) He is so cute!
Me and my Baby Girl!!!!
Kathie did a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake of course... it turned out just perfect!
Karly loved it!
Jenna, Kar and Bella
Bella, Carlos and Karly
Opening presents was fun... she gets excited before she even knows what it is.
She got lots of Disney movies...
... a pet critter clinic...
... HAPPY GIRL!
Mickey Mouse Laptop and Mr. Potatoe heads.... NOOOOO WAY!!!! =)
... but I think her favorite part was opening the cards...
Thank you to all of you who contributed to her college fund too! Karly will thank us later for that! =)
She had been waiting for us to sing Happy Birthday to her for SOOO LONG!
... and we ended up singing to her a million times! =)
Uncle David was the main reason we sang so many times... she would ask him to light the candle again... he would ask for a kiss... and she got him EVERY TIME! =)
Sharing with Aunt Kate! She enjoyed her Birthday week sooooo much!
OH YEAH... and to kind of explain the title of my post... if you ask Karly how old she is now, she will tell you "Two!" and then say "Peace" because it is also the peace sign =) LOVE HER!!!!!
Bus ride to Disneyland
Playing with Papa
One of our Happy Birthdays
And here is Abby... sorry it took me a little longer to post this time... 7 1/2 months as of today! Getting closer... CAN'T WAIT!!! Karly can't wait either, she was just kissing my belly the other night and said "Mommy, I want Abby June here!" =)
