Life in Pictures.: Disneyland

We took Ash on a birthday trip to disneyland. We haven't had passes for the last year so she didn't really remember what it was all about. It didn't take long to re-acquaint her. ;) Now all I hear is "mommy, can we go disneyland?" like five times a day! :) lol!!

We also took her for a birthday dinner at ariel's grotto at California Adventure. It's super cute and where all the princesses hang out. I thought that she probably wouldn't get it and that it would be a waste o cash...but i needed the photo op ;) Boy was I wrong!!!! She couldn't get enough of them! She was waving and yelling from halfway across the restaurant HI BELLE!!! HI CINDERELLA!!! I kept trying to tell her that they would come by our table and not to bother the other people while it was their turn, but that all tends to go in one ear and out the other of a not quite 2 year old! :)

Unfortunately the lighting was TERRIBLE!!! not even my 50mm/1.4 could handle it. dim dim light inside combined with harsh sun setting light pouring in the windows was not a good combination. o, I had to use my flash for most of them..GAG!!! But I think with a little edit they turned out better than I was thinking they would! :)

And about the outfit.....I MADE IT!!!! yep you read that right! :) Well, not completely from scratch, but the aplique and ruffles are all me. :) I had been looking EVERYWHERE for a cute 2 year old birthday shirt and it seemed like I could only find really ugly ones or really expensive ones from a boutique...SO, I went to walmart, spent two bucks on a t-shirt created an applique out of a few scraps of fabric and sewed it on! :) Once I saw how it turned out I decided to take the leftover favric and attach it to a pair of jeans that wer getting a little short. Ta Da!!

We took her to see the new playhouse disney live show and she was in awe. Seeing all her favorite characters come to life was a little too exciting!! :)
