Whew. She is officially four and the partying is finally over.<\/p>\n

She had a great birthday, but it technically started a few weeks ago when we started celebrating it at Disneyland. I’ve had this post (in pieces) for over a week now, but I’m finally getting it out.<\/p>\n

“So, it is my birthday…and I get to pick every<\/strong>thing we do, right?“<\/em><\/p>\n

First up, the Dumbo ride.<\/p>\n

Dumbo always has a wait. So while we were in line, Em and Addie tried to convince me that they could go on their own.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0014.jpg\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

They could not. And did not.<\/p>\n

However, we found out that Addie is tall enough to go on Big Thunder Mountain. So she rode it with Daddy.<\/p>\n

We were all excited for her. Daddy asked if she liked it when it was over and she said all seriously, “Yes. But I don’t want to ride it again.” It was so funny.<\/p>\n

Also funny? Watching Addie try to direct the goats in the petting zoo for a little photo shoot.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0020.jpg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No. Look this way. Say cheeeeeese!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0024.jpg\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

To get a good photo, you have to get right down to the goat’s level.<\/p>\n

Oh, the pin. The Happy Birthday pin. Once she had it on and people started wishing her a happy day, she was all smiles and made sure that everyone could see it.<\/p>\n

And Alice took a break from Wonderland and the parade to wish her a Happy day.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0058.jpg\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Addie could hardly believe it. “Did you see who I just high-fived?”<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0060.jpg\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

And then, the highlight of the day.<\/p>\n

Addie got asked to come out and dance with the cast members. I thought there was absolutely no way she would go out there. But she did, and after he coaxed her a bit, she even twisted a little. It was priceless. Thank God J. got it on video…<\/p>\n

Next up, the party continues. We’ll fast forward to the real party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
