Our Favorite Place





We went to Disneyland last weekend. Our favorite time to go is in September and January. The crowds are light and the weather is usually great. This time was no exception. It was sunny and 75 degrees. So, beautiful. Although the nights still can get really cold. Here are a few pictures of our trip. Not much to share as far as exciting events or moments, but Disneyland is still Disneyland and we love it there!
Oh, one moment I do have to capture. We were watching World of Color and after the show we were waiting for the crowds to leave. We were right by the water and Chris told Hannah to look over the edge of the railing and she dropped her stuffed unicorn into the lagoon. She went hysterical.... really hysterical. Now, I have to tell you. This is a little purple and white unicorn that she got from a McDonalds Happy Meal a year ago. For the past 4 months, she has been sneaking this unicorn to school with her in her coat pocket. She has become very attached to it and so when she dropped it... it was all over. She had lost her friend.
I on the other hand was so shocked and taken back by her reaction that I just hugged her and laughed. It was crazy how she reacted and just unconsolable. I tried so hard not to laugh, but I was trying to not look at her so she couldn't see my insensitivity. Finally, I was able to reason with her and told her I would look for it on ebay and maybe I could get her another one. This calmed Hannah down and made her come to her senses.
I wouldn't normally do this (say if her sister and her were fighting or goofying around and she dropped it), but it was a 100% accident and with her reaction, I could tell she really cared. So, I looked on ebay and lo and behond... someone was selling this exact McDonalds Happy Meal unicorn from a year ago. As a side thought.... this is why I love ebay, you can find anything and I mean anything.

It's so funny what items our children get attached to. But that is what makes them so special. I'm glad there was a happy ending to the unicorn story. A story a mother will remember and look back on fondly.
