Magical Weekend

Friday was still a bad day. I had the stomach flu and didn't know if I was going to be okay by Saturday since we had a trip planned out to Disneyland that day. I made sure I had tons of water and that I got rest. Suzanne, Cupcake's auntie came over to visit and have dinner with us. Since I wasn't feeling good, I hit the sack pretty early so I didn't get a chance to say good-bye when she did leave. We had a big day ahead of us the next day so I wasn't trying to stay up super late making small talk.


Saturday was finally here. I was up by 6:30am, that never happens unless its during the week and I have to get ready for work. I was so excited I had everyone awake and preparing everything for our day. We were out of the house by 10am. We had some ticket issues so we didn't get to get in the park til noon. First thing we did was take a family picture in front of the huge decorated tree. This is a picture of it at night when it was all lit up.

Cupcake was awake for everything except for Mr. Toad's wild ride. She loved everything we got on, especially It's a small world. I was never a fan but she definitely is. We spent most of our time just walking around and seeing some of the characters. We got to get her her Minnie ears, I of course got matching ones.

We finally took a break to get us, Marc and I, something to eat and so the Cupcake can take a quick nap. When we were eating which was really close to the Haunted Mansion, we realized how long the line was that we decided to park the stroller and just carry the Cupcake while we stood in line. The wait was exactly 2 hours and 5 mins long. Our backs were killing us, but at least the Cupcake was able to take a long nap without being disturbed. We snapped a picture of the skeleton outside. I love this ride so the 2 hours plus wait was so worth it. Marc will beg to disagree.

We also went on the Jungle cruise at night, which neither one of us has ever been on at night. We really liked it, and plan on doing it on future visits. The last thing on our agenda at Disneyland was the fireworks show. We headed on over to the main areas where you can stand for viewing and parked ourselves there. We were fortunate enough to not have to wait so long for it to start. The cupcake was still awake for it, so when she saw it she was amazed by all the beautiful colors and lights in the sky. Since it's Christmas time at Disneyland, at the end of the fireworks show, they have machines that blow out snow. It isn't real snow, I think its foam but I didn't get the chance to actually try to feel it out. Once that was all done, the cupcake was tired and fell asleep, it was perfect timing. Our day seriously was magical.


Sunday was spent sleeping mostly. I was so exhausted that I couldn't even function. Marc helped with cupcake while I slept all day. Okay not all day but hours at a time. He didn't mind since I spent most of last week awake at night because the Cupcake was sick and couldn't sleep. Around 5pm I headed out to the mall to do last minute Christmas shopping. When I got home I saw a package that I hadn't noticed all weekend. When I opened it I was seriously so excited. It was the puffy quilt that Kim from {My} Life's Stories had made Cupcake. It is beautiful and the cupcake loves it to pieces. She can't stop starring at it and likes playing with the puffs. This is something she will be using for a very long time. This was the cherry that made the weekend perfect.
