Amelia's Birthday at the Happiest Place on Earth!

Amelia turned 5 years old today. At Disneyland. Holy cow. What an amazing birthday for her!!

It all started at breakfast with Lilo & Stitch at the Paradise Pier Hotel (one of the Disney Resort Hotels). As it turns out we also had Goofy Jr., Pluto and Minnie Mouse joining us at breakfast! The first pictures are of the walk to the Paradise Pier Hotel from our hotel. It was a beautiful, quiet morning.

The picture below was taken in front of the huge Lego store in Downtown Disney. The guy that Dean is sitting next too (the guy in red, not Brodie) is totally made out of Lego. He looks like he's sleeping and he has a snoring soundtrack. It was great!

At breakfast Stitch tried to steal Mickinley's biscuit and he actually stole Amelia's juice (but then he gave it back!). Lilo taught them all how to hula and there were other games for the kids. And on top of it all, the food was amazing! The meal ended with Lilo and some of the wait staff singing a special birthday song to Amelia and the kids eating Black Forest cake at 9:30am!

After breakfast we went to Disneyland where Amelia was greeted by everyone that worked there with 'Happy Birthday' and 'How old are you, Amelia?'. Disneyland gives birthday kids (and adults, too) Birthday pins, and everyone makes a point of making them feel extra special. It was lovely.

Below are pictures of the many characters we saw and rides we went on.

Mickinley got to meet her favourite Disney Princess, Jasmine. Amelia got to dress up like her favourite Disney Princess, Cinderella (thanks to a birthday gift from Uncle Brent) and I got to see my favourite Disney Princess, Mary Poppins!!

Waiting for the parade to start...

So, it was a lovely, lovely way to spend Amelia's 5th birthday. She was treated like a little princess...which is exactly the way she likes it!
