Gabriel's Birthday

For Gabriel's birthday this year he wanted to go to Disneyland. Well you know I am not a party person so a family trip to Disneyland is more my idea than planning a kids birthday party. Luckily my parents were able to go and my sisters family as well. Some of the family left early the morning of his birthday while we waited until the next morning. Here he is opening up his presents and some birthday donuts.


We had one big family meal altogether and here is his piece of Disneyland birthday cake. Gotta love Jack!


It was so fun hanging with the cousins. My kids love them so much. We can't wait for the next trip when Eric is home from his mission.
Yes I take all the pictures but need some proof I was there.
We found out Gabriel's favorite ride is Big Thunder Mountain. I am not sure how many times we rode that ride.
The first time we took him to get on Indiana Jones the lady said he was too short. So we hung out in the Tarzan treehouse while the others rode it. The next time we went to ride it the guy let him on.

Spending time with Grandpa.
Now everyone has to take turn riding teacups with Jason. They like that feeling of puking while on the ride. So we always have to ride it twice in a row so everyone gets a turn.

Gabriel loved riding with Lauren this trip. He was attached to her.
Funny since it was his birthday I told him he could pick anything out and he only wanted two things. These R2-D2 ears which he ended up getting with a gift card from the Selfridge's and a R2-D2 popcorn bucket. So easy to please at this age. And SO cute!
Sometimes I look at these beautiful kids and can't believe they are all mine. I don't know how time went by so quickly and how they got so old.

Again on Thunder Mountain...



The Disneyland turkey legs are so famous they even sell a t shirt for them.


Time to get wet.


Ph wait one more souvenir. Every boy needs a light saber.
We had such a wonderful time celebrating his 6th birthday. I am so blessed to have this little boy in my life. And so thankful for all the family that helped us celebrate.
