Disneyland Birthday Ditch Day

Monday Jan 6th

Our passes became unblocked and the kids were out of school for one more day! So, we spent the day at Disneyland. We were 3 days shy of Hailee's birthday, so we got her a button and made the day about her! First stop, a little visit with Pluto!

The boys took off to ride rides while Hailee and I headed to Fantasyland. We rode Pinocchio first and then met the boys for lunch at Belle's Tavern.

The boys took off again to ride some more while we enjoyed some of our favorite rides in Fantasyland-

It was a pretty crowded day, but the line to meet the princesses was short! So we got to meet Ariel, Cinderella and Snow White! They were so sweet with her!

After hanging out with the princesses, we watched a show in the theater starring, Rapunzel!

We grabbed some ice cream and enjoyed the Tiki Room-

We finished our day with a stop at Galaxy's Edge! Hailee loved it there!

And she fell in love with "Master Yoda"!

So, Boom!, Happy Birthday!, I purchased the $22 little guy for her birthday!

True Love!

She did not want to leave Star Wars Land! But we needed to get home and get ready for school. We left pretty early, just as the sun was setting. It was a very happy day!

Tracy's Married!

Yep.

My sister-in-law is now married to someone else. She is now Tracy Wallace. We were able to go and see and be part of her happy day. It was totally weird. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone, but a good one. But still, so weird.

The ceremony and celebration after was very small. Just close family and friends. It was held at Ciao. An Italian Restaurant/Banquet place in Vista. Dani Parker did a great job making it look so pretty...

Tracy looked beautiful and so, so happy. She really loves Rick and he really is a great guy. I know he will take good care of her. Carter walked her down the aisle and all of their kids stood up for them with Scott officiating.

They did this cool sand thingy...

They exchanged rings and that was it!

We all enjoyed a yummy dinner and some dancing, music provided by DJ Jeremy. It definitely was a weird feeling being there, but I am truly happy for her and hope that she gets a life filled with joy and happiness. She deserves it!

Cali's Christmas Present

For Cali's Christmas present this year. I used her last year's gift ($100 gift card to Broadway SD), to purchase some great seats, for her and Hannah to go see "Dear Evan Hansen". I made it extra special with an 18th birthday bonus by booking a fun hotel downtown to make it a Girls Getaway!

WooHoo!

On Thursday, January 2nd, I got off early and off we went!

We checked into the fairly new Intercontinental Hotel and this place is fancy! I told the guy at check in that this was Cali's Christmas/18th Birthday present, so he gave us a 14th floor suite upgrade!

The room had the most amazing floor to ceiling, embarcadero/bay views!

We were going to have sushi for dinner, but couldn't find it. So, we hit up the Sugar Factory instead! It was perfect!

After dinner, I dropped the girls off at the show and I went back to the hotel and had a "me" party. They were so happy and so tired when I picked them up, that we all just went to bed.

We woke up to the most beautiful day on Friday (1/3).

And I made them pose in the cozy robes...

We ate breakfast at the hotel, because we got comped! But it was kind of fancy and gross. Then we went for a lovely stroll along the waterfront...

Climbed some trees...

And wandered through Seaport Village-

We shopped, ate, rode horsies and relaxed! Cali loved all of it! I am so glad we could make this happen and that I got to enjoy it too!

Happy 2020!!

We woke up to the most beautiful day on January 1st~

The kids were all tired from being up late and stuff. But I needed to get out and feel the beauty! So, Jer and I headed down to the beach for a New Year Walk...
