Valentine's Day at Disneyland!


So the title explains it all, but I will still write about it!! :) This year my baby sister got the opportunity to perform at Disneyland with her dance company! So naturally being the proud big sister that I am, I just had to join my parents and her group for this once in a life time fun!! But the downside to this trip was Justin couldn't be there with me. Which was really hard, not just because I hate not spending time with him, but because Valentines Days is such a huge holiday for us. You see 5 years ago on February 13th my amazing husband asked me to marry him. Yes I know it's a cliché to get engaged in February but hey we don't care! So needless to say I was pretty sad when I realized that we wouldn't be together for this day of LOVE! But we made the most of the trip! The first day there we had to get our picture taken by the True Love heart made out of flowers! So neat! I have such cute parents :)



Since my husband couldn't be with me, I guess receiving a Valentine from a Prince would have to do, although he wasn't my prince :) Princess Tiana  and Prince Naveen were nice enough to let me be 5 again and take a picture with them and my dad, and they gave us a Valentine! How sweet! Okay so I am sure as you're looking at the picture you probably wondering why my mom is so sad about the "it's a small world" ride. Well that is her absolute favorite ride ever! And this trip "sadly" it's closed haha. We have this fond memory of when I was a senior in High School we had my Choir tour and sehior trip here well my mom and sister Emily took me on that ride one too many time and so now I am not that into the "it's a small world" ride after all. 











The next photo is of this amazing balloon guy who worked at the IHOP he makes all kinds of Disney Balloon characters its nuts!! So when my dad saw his talent we wanted him to make one for Emily, originally we were going to have him to Alice from Alice in Wonderland. But my mom decided on Tinker bell which turned out adorable! 














The dance performance was on Friday afternoon at the big Thunder Ranch Theatre. We arrived early so that we could get a great seat up front, and that way we could record and take pictures. While we waited there were schools that came from all over to perform music and we enjoyed listening while we waited for Emily's dance group. Okay so proud sister moment! Isn't see just gorgeous! She is the brunette that is pretty much in the dead center because lets face it, she's too good for the back row!! Sorry had to brag there for a sec.  All in all this was a fantastic trip to Disneyland, this truly is one of "the Happiest Places on Earth" So glad I got to be there with my family!
