Magical Surprise

I have been planning this surprise for Mary for about a month. My three girlfriends, that all our kids play together, have Disney passes. They all go to Disneyland together all the time. They keep wanting us to go, but we do not have passes. SO, one of the girl's husband works for Disney and could get me and one kid in FREE!! So, I finally found a day we could go. All of us were going to go together!!
So, Friday morning I get Mary ready for school. I get everything packed for Disneyland and sneak it into the car. We head out. I tell her that I have a doctor apt after I drop her off. We pass school.
Mary- "oh well, you have to take me to your doctor appointment."
Me- "No, I'm not going to an appointment"
Mary- "then what are you doing?"
(this is where it gets really cute)
Me- "If you could not go to school and do anything, what would it be?"
Mary- "Stay home and do something cool with you, daddy, and Teresa"
Me- "well that is not going to happen, but how about if we go to Disneyland?"
Mary- "We need to go home and get Teresa and Daddy"
Me- "Teresa and daddy are not going with us. We are going with all of our friends"
Mary- "REALLY? REALLY? ALL DAY?? WITH OUR FRIENDS?????!!!!!!!"
The look on her face was priceless. It was so super cute. One of those moments I wish I could bottle and re-live over and over.
So, we went and met one of our friends we were to carpool with. Then we were off to meet the others to caravan with. Mary was super excited!!!
So, here is the group of 5 kids.
Brooke and Mary so excited to get in the park!

This was in the first attraction. A cute live stage show.

Mary and Gabriella. Brooke then decided she did not want to be in any pictures.

This was so cute. All 5 kids could fit in the sea shell for the Little Mermaid ride.

At lunch there was music playing. They were dancing.

Mary was on the go and ready for more fun!

Parade time! We had front row seats for the Christmas parade.

Some mommy beer time! We needed a little something to keep our sanity going.

Carousel time

Brooke and Michelle

IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL!

As you can see, the surprise went over REALLY well! We had a super fun day. The weather was perfect. Not too hot, and not too cool. It got cold as the sun went down, but it was still perfect. We had so much fun with our good friends. Thanks all for the fun time!! Can't wait to do it again!
