Disneyland...

 Last Friday we got to got to Disneyland.  We haven't been there TOGETHER since 2015. 

We started in Disneyland:

Eden had really wanted to walk through Sleeping Beauty's castle.  Though out the day, we kept talking about when we were there last and things they loved and all the sweet memories.  So fun!
We headed to Star Wars land.
We could not believe how amazing it was!
Our first ride of the day was the Rise of the Resistance:
WE loved it and it was such a fun way to kick off the day.  Then we headed to Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean:
We headed to Tomorrowland for the Astro Blasters and Space Mountain:
We looked at pins, grabbed a pickle and then headed to California Adventure a little bit.  
Eden hadn't been there since she was really little and didn't remember it.  It was so fun to experience it all together!  We walked through Cars Land and Pixar Pier to get to the Incredicoaster:
Then we headed to Little Mermaid:
This is probably the first Disney animated film that I remember seeing in the theater as a 9 year old.  I think that makes this one special to me...
We grabbed dinner then headed to Guardians of the Galaxy.  So many drops and we all handled it like champs!
Then we headed back to Disneyland to go on Matterhorn and see Main Street at night and just walk around for the atmosphere:
Star Wars at night was SO PRETTY at night!
The kids did the Smugglers Run...
        We had a magical time and made so many sweet memories...
 The kids were over the moon grateful and we had great conversations and laughed together and thoroughly enjoyed our time.  Countless times throughout the day, they would thank me for making it happen and tell me how much fun they were having.  It makes it ALL worth it to watch them love it so much AND appreciate it... 
The only thing missing was Kit...
We can't wait to go back with Kit!
