"Best Day EVER!"

It's turned into a tradition to hit up Disneyland for Finnley's birthday.  This year was no different, except we had a special surprise for her since we won't be able to celebrate this way again (at least for a while).  This year we scheduled lunch at Ariel's Grotto with all the princesses.  Finn had been wanting to do this for a loooong time and she absolutely loved it.

She told Mitch, "This is the best day EVER!" Score!

 Mitch and the (two big) kids headed down to Disneyland first thing in the morning.  Remmy and I followed a few hours later. I made sure to grab her a "1st Visit" pin, so she can always remember she went to Disneyland at only 18 days old. (Don't worry, we kept her nice and covered.)

The lunch was a hit! Besides seeing all the princesses, the food was beautiful too.  Finnley especially loved the bread that was shaped as a flower, and the white chocolate sea shell for dessert.  She claims she could even hear the ocean in it. ;)

Finnley came home with a bunch of pins.  One for her birthday, and several princess pins.  She made sure to take them to preschool for "P" show and tell day the following week.  I love the simple things that make kids go gaga.

The highlight for our little man was getting smooched right on his forehead by none other than Belle! (A favorite in our home.)  It was the first time I've seen this little guy blush.  The best part is he hasn't stopped talking about it.  He points to his forehead and in his forced and choppy voice he'll try to explain to people that he got a kiss on his forehead from Belle.  When asked why he washed it off he just says, "I know?" 

We're so happy we were able to give our Finnley such a special Birthday luncheon with some of her favorite characters.  She was spoiled rotten this year, but to be honest, I think she deserved it!
