Natalie Meets the Mouse!

Yesterday was our first family trip to Disneyland. We aren't sure yet who was more excited: Natalie, Mom and Dad, or Auntie Ali (though I think Ali edged the rest of us out by traveling all the way up here solo after spending the last two months all over the country and away from her husband and home!).

We had a blast watching our little wunderkind bright-eyed and amazed at all of the Christmas-y decor at the park and waited for a whopping 45 minutes to ride "It's a Small World". That was a successful first ride, what with all of the visual and auditory stimulation. Natalie was a tad overwhelmed looking from side to side--and even at the ceiling--while the songs rotated between the traditional song to Jingle Bells to Deck the Halls. Still, I think she liked it.

We're looking forward to going back soon!
