...we went shopping again and Grace got some Wetzel's Pretzel Bites for being so good (but let's be honest...this kid is ALWAYS good when we go shopping because she loves to shop!):
...Grace made up a new game. She hides Olivia and says, "uh-oh" and then says, "Olivia" like she can't find her. Crazy kid:
...we went to dinner with Isaac's mom and cousins that were in town from Virginia. Grace tried ranch for the first time and made a new friend:
The baby is ONE! I can't believe it's been a whole year since Perr Bear was born. I prayed longer and harder for this baby than anything else in my life. Mainly because she took fourteen plus months to decide to join our family. We wanted another baby so badly, and we could not have picked a more perfect fit to our crazy bunch. Perry is the sweetest little girl. She loves to lay her head on your shoulder, gives endless kisses, and has THE BEST cheese face you'll ever see. Perry recently got two of her top molars and is working on the bottom two. You can feel them and her gums are swollen. That puts baby at ten teeth. Baby girl is getting smarter by the day and can tell us what she wants or needs with ease. She loves to sign "more" when she wants me to nurse her and will walk up to her high chair and sign "more" when she's hungry for a snack. She can also sign "all done" to let us know when she wants out of the high chair. ...
Tuesday morning was a little rainy, so we switched Char's seat around, so the girls could get a little cover while we walked to Goofy's Kitchen for breakfast.

As soon as we sat down to eat, Minnie came over to greet us. Charley was having so much fun and kept making the silliest faces saying "this looks like Minnie" and "this looks like Chip and Dale". Chip came by first and the girls gave him the biggest hugs. Then, Charley started making faces like Goofy and Pluto. I have no idea where she got this from. Pluto was the best and spent a lot of time pretending to smell the girls' food and tickle them with his whiskers. Dale came by while I was getting my breakfast, so Daddy was in charge of the picture taking. As soon as I came back, the characters...
We were so excited for our first holiday visit to Disneyland. We woke up early and were ready to go, so we decided to use our early entry the first morning. Since we had breakfast at Ariel's Grotto at nine, we had an hour to kill in California Adventure beforehand. It was decorated so beautifully, and there were trees and lights everywhere. We headed to Cars Land first, because I heard that it was decorated really cool, and we wanted to miss the crowds that are always over there. It was so beautiful, and felt especially wintery since it was cloudy and cool all day. The girls wanted to ride Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, and since there were no lines, we hopped right on. They had so much fun swinging all over the place with Papa and Grammy. We finished our walk through Cars Land before heading over to the pier. At the pier, the girls instantly spotted Ariel's Undersea Adventure, ...
