Our Anniversary Celebration

Andrew and I have been married for 6 wonderful years. Sunday was our anniversary, and how did we celebrate? We took the kids to Disneyland for one last hurrah before our passes expire. So how did we celebrate last year? Andrew's sister and her family where here and we bought our Disney passes. Yes, this is year number 2 spent at Disneyland with kids and not out on some romantic date. Oh well, we had a really good day! Jason took this picture of us. Notice our special buttons? They have buttons for birthdays so Andrew asked if they had them for anniversaries and they do! They only offer them in pairs, however :) I was proud to wear my button and have people tell me Happy Anniversary all day, even when I was nowhere near my husband taking the little ones on a ride while the big boys rode Space Mountain, etc...



Here we are waiting for Peter Pan. We almost never ride this ride because the line is always super long and well, Jason's not fond of Captain Hook. But Jason was in line for Space Mountain and Beth really, really wanted to go on the ride so why not? It was about 30 minutes but as you can see, we were just fine waiting :)


It was a crowded day. There were people everywhere but considering our passes expired that day, we decided to make the best of it and we did! Turned out the lines were very reasonable. In fact, we did everything we really wanted to do and then some. For example, Beth got to see Cinderella one more time and was thrilled at the surprise!We even went to California Adventure and saw the new Playhouse Disney show with Little Einsteins and Mickey Mouse (Adam's current favorite). They all loved the show although Jason showed the most excitement eagerly awaiting every coming moment and dancing along to every tune!

We were sure to see Buzz one more time, and considering it was our anniversary, we had Jason and Beth ride together so Andrew and I could ride together. I was surprised they allowed it but they did. They're getting so old and mature!

We finished the night with Mickey lollipops and the Main Street Electrical Light Parade. It was the first time we took the kids and they loved it! It's at California Adventure and compared to the crowds at Disneyland's parades, it was empty! We had our own area and even shook hands with characters. It was great. And then on our walk to the tram, the fireworks at Disneyland started. It was perfect viewing for us: away from the crowds and not quite as loud. Happy Anniversary to us!

Looks like you had great time. What better way to celebrate than with all of the little ones? I remember your wedding day well. It was a glorious one! And the marriage is even better!
