Family Pictures taken by Ashley Pettit

We had a family photo shoot at Prospect Park. These first two pics Mommy took with the tripod.

The rest of the pictures were taken by Mommy's and my friend Ashley Pettit. She is starting a photography business and offered some of her time to take pics of us.

I was fascinated by all these balloons that had been released in the sky!

Weeeeee!

Prospect Park is a really pretty place, and Ashley did a great job!

Disney Land

I am 14 and a half months old and Mommy and Daddy took me to Disneyland for the first time on Wednesday!

It was all decked out for Christmas! SO pretty!

When we first arrived (at noon) Mommy heated up my lunch at the Baby Center place and I ate. Then I went on my first ride. This was my first Disney ride: Nemo's submarine. It was neat!
Then I got to play in Goofy's house! I think this was my favorite part of the day! I got ot climb and run and play! This is Goofy's chair!
And this is in his yard!
And this is Goofy's piano!

Then we went on Dumbo. I am watching Dumbo fly! Look at that! This is us before the ride started. I am not sure if I thought it was fun or not.

Then we went on Alice in Wonderland. It was dark! I am also not sure how I felt about this ride either.

This part was outside, but I was still sorta unsure of what I thought about it.

Then Dan, Sarah and Amy met us!! We went on Its a Small World next. Here we are about to enter. Daddy is trying to make me wave HI. So silly.

Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle all the way...

I am starting to get concerned... they just keep singing the same song....

oh boy

ok, i need my fingers now! I needed a nap after all that. Amy took me for a walk while Mommy and Daddy went on a few rides and I fell asleep in my stroller. This is Dan.

We went on the Pirates of the Carribbean next. I was a little worried about this one, I heard it could be scary.

While on the ride, we were int eh total dark and all of a sudden our boat dropped! I said "DUH!" It startled me!! But I was fine after that. Just looked around at everything!

The parade was next. I got to sit on Mommy's shoulders.

Then on Dans' shoulders. It was neat, but I was still just so... well, there was a lot to look at!

Interesting...

After the parade Mommy got me some citrus chicken and rice, but I did not like it. Yuck. SOrry Mommy, I know you thought I would, but citrus is not my thing. The adults had corn dogs though!

Here I am snuggling with Amy!

then there was more to do! here we are at the haunted mansion! mommy and daddy are such dorks! i cant believe i have to be seen with them! geesh

then FIREWORKS! they were awesome! my second favorite part of the day.

and then in "snowed"! everyone was so excited!

we were almost done, time for a snack and for me to stretch my legs!

i am really getting tired, but we had to get a pic with the cool castle in the background!

just before we went home we played with this big wet ball and i got to run around.

I think I like Disneyland. It was awesome for sure. So so so much to see! Holy smokes. And so many people! I have never seen Disney characters before. I think when I get older it will be fun to go again! Mommy and Daddy had tons of fun. they especially liked the Indiana Jones and Space Mountain rides! We got a special ornament to go on our tree, mickey mouse ears!

Thanks Mommy and Daddy for taking me to such a wild and crazy place!
