Day 71

Five years ago today, we met the most beautiful baby girl in a conference room in a hotel in China. It was an incredible day that we mark every year. Today that little baby is a beautiful almost six year old. We started the day at Grandma's house - they are truly the best of friends and it was very hard to go home. Tonight we had a feast at a favorite Chinese restaurant with good friends and ended with a gift from her memory box of items I bought on that trip to give her every year to remember that special time when we became a family!

Day 70

Playing at Grandma's house - why is it I can buy them tons of new toys but its the old toys from my childhood that they love the best? They had a blast dragging out the miniature Tupperware set and serving us all multiple meals. The girls had no problem leaving Disney when Grandma's was the next destination.

Day 69

Our last day at Disney and our final ride of the day - Dumbo - at T.'s request. She is piloting beside me while I took this photo of big sis and dad in the Dumbo behind us.

Day 68

A Monster Hug - today was one of those days when I had six to choose from for the blog. I asked husband and C. and they both picked this one. We came around the corner at California Adventure and there he was - Mr. Sullivan, waiting for his little Boo and if you look closely, you can see her tiny green crocs peeking out from under his hug. =)

Day 67

Great day at the Magic Kingdom today and at some point we found the face painting. T. has added Nemo to her obsessions so that is what she chose. Cute, huh?

Day 66

Okay first - you GOTTA love the Lightning McQueen Mickey Ears. Man I love them. In fact I ended up wearing them most of the evening when she got tired of them! We had an outstanding day at California Adventure and T. got to all of her heroes! I think it was a tie between watching Crush talk, hugging Handy Manny and of course, seeing her precious Lightning and Mater. Newsflash that they are building a Carsland at California Adventure (unfortunately by the time its built ..she will probably be into the darn Princesses - *sigh*) I love this photo because you can see big sister hunched down pointing and making sure her sister didn't miss a beat!

Day 65

The moment of realization! We woke up the kids early today to tell them we were leaving on a secret adventure - this is the moment C. figured out (as we were driving down Harbor) that we our destination involved a certain mouse and his friends....
