*** We told Kate when she was 3 that we would go to D-Land for her 5th birthday. She talked about it for 2 years... daily! And now here we are. ***
The girls celebrated a pre-birthday lunch for Kate at Ariel's Grotto. Kate was on cloud nine while we met and dined with the princesses!
Kate woke up to streamers, balloons & party hats to start off the Birthday festivities!
Thank you grandparents, aunties & cousins for the presents.
And a call from Goofy, giving her birthday wishes on her a special day!
Papa & Nana Curtis drove to California that night and met us at Mimi's Cafe for birthday dinner & cake!
Highlights from day:
1. Kate's ear to ear smile when meeting the princess's or any character.
2. 50+ birthday wishes to Kate from Disneyland employees and perfect strangers throughout the day, since she was wearing a D-Land birthday badge. (Happy Birthday Princess!)
3. Steve and I taking advantage of the "switch pass" since Sagey couldn't ride on much and my family went home.
4. The Pixar Parade at Cal. Adventure
5. Receiving free "jump to the front of the line passes" since the Toy Story 3D ride broke while on it (I was destroying Steve by 22,000 points)
6. Chandler yelling, "that was so AWESOME," after every ride.
7. Chandler yelling "Aaarrggg Matey" a dozen times on Pirates of the Caribbean
8. Realizing our kids are getting older.
9. Spending time with Papa & Nana
10. Worn out children who fall asleep when walking back to the hotel.

AWESOME!!! That looks like a great party! Kate, will you invite me next time you go to Disneyland for your birthday? Next year? :)
Looks like you guys had as fun as we did. I really do wish we had gone to Ariel's grotto, that is the way to meet the princesses. We loved every second of it and really can't wait to go back.
What a fun, fun trip! love all the pics! Can't wait to take my boys, everything is so much more fun with kids! Glad you guys had a good time!
