Disneyland With Friends

We recently took a trip to Disneyland with 4 of my dearest friends and 5 of Averys' dearest friends.  It was a great day.  Here are a few Dumbo pictures, one of the rides Avery loves and loves to talk about whenever we start talking about trips to Disneyland.

Deirdre and Charlotte

Jennie and Ella

Kelly and Maddie

Anna and Ella with Pluto.  Avery was very afraid of Pluto initially but he was great and patient and she warmed up to him eventually giving him high fives.  He spent a lot of time with Anna and Ella having a color-off with them.  One of them would scribble then he would scribble the same way.  It was really cute and they thought it was hilarious.  He overheard Avery say "he is not funny" and he then made an audible laugh.  So now she thinks Pluto is funny.
I so do not do the teacups.  Thankfully Jennie was our surrogate parent for any leftover children.  Avery still talks about Jennie and the teacups.  She got to ride with Deirdre and Charlotte too.
Anna, Ella and William rode with Brandy.  Kelly waited with me since Maddie was napping.
We got to see It's A Small World become lit-up.  It was so so pretty and then there was snow (fake bubble snow, which is the best we can get around here).


We got a great spot for the parade which meant we had a long while to wait before it actually started.  The girls and William had a great time playing ring-around-the-rosy in the middle of the parade route.  It was really sweet.  Avery loved the parade.  Loved it!  It was a great day with great friends.
