A baby quilt for my newest-to-be niece. Her mother likes bright colors so I tried to oblige her. I'm very pleased with how it turned out! Maybe I should make one for myself.

What a Neat Gift

For my birthday this year Jeff gave me a wonderful surprise.  He put together a trip to Disneyland for the whole family -- the whole thing -- the tickets, the hotel, everything!  Robyn was soooo excited because this was her first visit and she's been wanting to go forever.  The rest of us had been before -- Annalise last fall, and Jeff & I went years ago when Annalise was small.  

We spent 3 days playing at the park while staying just across the street -- close enough to come back to the hotel for a bit of a nap break.  I needed those breaks because by the end of the trip I was exhausted and had especially sore feet.  Two of those days Jeff & Annalise closed down the park while Robyn & I were asleep in the hotel.  I tell you -- the hotel was at a great location.

     DAY ONE 

Our first day.  We didn't have matching shirts so we all wore Giants shirts instead.  I didn't have one so I had to borrow one of Annalise's shirts.

Alice & the Mad Hatter were so funny.  Loved seeing them!

DAY TWO

We started the second day at Disneyland.  Robyn & I went over to the Princess Pavilion while Jeff & Annalise went on a few rides while we waited for our turn with the princesses.

DAY THREE



We must have tired her out.  She actually fell asleep there on the planter box!



On the last day we got to see a parade.  Robyn was so excited about seeing Tiana.  She's her favorite princess.
