We had such a great family time. Six adults, four little ones, including two in strollers. I'll just give you the highlights.
Upper left picture--Mark would say this is his favorite ride at Disneyland--the park bench. Although this time he spent a lot of time watching little ones while Charlotte and Levi and the adults were on assorted rides. What a wonderful Grandpa. Upper right: The Small Small World song can get in your head and never leave, but at Christmas they decorate over the top, and then combine the song with Jingle Bells. Totally worth any song that gets stuck for awhile.
Bathroom floor tile--quilt inspiration?
Why fathers want to take their kids to the shooting gallery in Adventureland--actually it's so the father can do some shooting.
Bottom left--Cars Land at sunset; bottom right--brothers!
Strollers everywhere! You basically park your stroller and only take your most valuables--leave everything else in the stroller. When we left the park Monday night, we passed the stroller rental place. I lost my picture somehow but I asked how many strollers they have for rent. One thousand!! I asked if they ever run out and they said, yes, every Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Take note. Because I would say the rental strollers only represent a fraction of the strollers in Disneyland at any given moment.
Attention to detail is always amazing. Cars Land carried on that tradition.The wreath and swags in the upper left picture were made out of air filters.
Bugs Land
Character" sightings--both Disney and our own two little "characters"
Top pictures--lunch time
Probably my favorite picture. It's like he is saying, "Finally free!! I thought they were never going to let me out of that stroller!"
Well, maybe this picture is tied for my favorite. "I don't care if I finally have my own Mickey ears. I'm tired."
Because this IS a quilting blog, except for once a week when anything goes, I'll end this week with something new in my sewing room:
I found a little time to play on it too...
What's happening in your world?

wow, Cindy! What a fun way to celebrate your birthday! My niece is an imagineer at Disney...she loves it! I think she goes to Disneyland as often as I go to Target! I can't wait to see more of the happenings in your sewing room!
Ohh that looks like so much fun!! When we went my mum bought my dad a watch that played 'it's a small world' every hour!! No surprise they ended up divorced ;)
Enjoy your new machine, how fun!
Nice maachine! I think I have the Janome version of that machine. ;)
Lovely trip, too. So fun!
Love Disneyland! Looks like a great trip!! Also looks like a great work in progress! Those colors are awesome! I couldn't figure out why they looked so familia. Then I realized they look just like the Vera Bradley bag we got Neola for Christmas.
What fun the Disney adventure looked to be!! And a new machine! Awesomeness!
I haven't been to Disney in years! One day I'd like to take my grand girls . Happy be-lated birthday ; )
What a fun trip! We are huge Disney fans and the whole extended family is going to Dworld next week - can't wait (as long as I get enough sewing done ahead of time, LOL!!)
Looks like a wonderful trip! What better way to extend your birthday celebrations than with the family and at such a fun place. Congrats on your new sewing machine too. It looks pretty heavy-duty and intense... in a good way.
We were at Disneyland the same day, and I was so excited! I hope your celebration was awesome. :D
Looks like an exciting birthday celebration! Hurray for family fun (and new machines)!
Awesome post! Disney and new machine - hard to top that ;-D
Great Disneyland day! I went to disneyworld in Florida once.... boy, that seems a lifetime ago! You look like you had an awesome day! And your new 'toy' is going to be fun, I bet!
I've never been to a Disney park, looks like a good weekend.
Did you get a new Elna? I so wish we had an Elna dealer in Central Iowa, I would have one!
Looks like a fun trip, you being like the Queen with 2 birthday n'all!
Looks like you had a great birthday there, and love the idea of the badge!
So fun! What a great birthday trip! Love the happy birthday stories. Can't wait to see what you did with your new leaf, looks awesome! ;)
What a great birthday. I love how they stopped and said happy birthday to you all the time. That's neat. You got a new sewing machine? Waddja get?
What fun, Cindy! A new Elna......Yay!!
Hilarious random "happy birthday-ing"! Too cute - as are those sweetie-pies! Looks like a great time was had by all, with the exception of that one pic. :-)
That tile reminds me of Cherry House's City Quilts… Definitely inspiration. And woohoo to a fancy schmancy new machine - can't wait to hear how she handles curves! ( That was supposed to sound more like I was comparing it to a car but the joke got lost somewhere… lol)
What a great way to celebrate your birthday - it was your 30th, right? Your new machine looks amazing, have fun!
happy belated birthday! we just went there over the holidays! and lucky you-- a new machine! have fun playing!
