Newport Beach 2012

We just got home from Newport Beach. I had a such a great time with my little family. This was the first year where we felt like we could really do all the fun things. Claire is still a little young to do everything and is still demanding, but we had more fun than we ever have. Unfortunately Claire got really sick on our way to California, then passed it on to Lilly. So, they both were a little under the weather, and as parents you know how it is having sick kids. But, they were troopers and had a ball! We spent only one day at Disneyland, and that was perfect. One of my favorites, as was Anton's, was watching our girls watch the parade. When Lilly saw Aurora she covered her mouth with her hands and kept saying "Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh!". And Claire screamed and laughed when Simba came out - Lion King is her very very favorite. After the parade we decided to head over to the Jungle Cruise. Lilly kept waving and blowing kisses at everyone - even the animals - because she was pretending she was a princess. It was so darling, and so sweet. She is such a sweet, innocent darling little girl. She was so good on the trip. We fall in love with Claire more and more each day. She is so hysterically funny, and so sweet. This trip was the first time Claire has ever slept with us. She got up early one morning so Anton brought her into our bed. We laid there with her, and all she wanted to do was snuggle or lay on us until eventually she fell back asleep. She is such a snuggler - I love it.
We had a great trip - but we are glad to be home and stay put for a little while until our next trip!
