Princess Leah's 5th Birthday

"Once upon a dream" was Leah's 5th birthday party theme. She looked so beautiful as Cinderella. I think her dream did come true and she became a princess for a day. Happy birthday my sweet girl!

Lots of decorations to make her day even more special. We hired Cami our sitter to be Cinderella. Leah just loved that!

Claire thought this was her birthday too. She wanted to blow those candles. Leah was a good sport and let her little sister participate too.

Disneyland ( summer vacation)

We made it to Disneyland!!! My girls most favorite place on earth.






We had a great time and the day was perfect. That is one of the advantages of Disneyland versus Disney World, the weather is a lot better. However is a little smaller then Disney World, but my girls don't know it yet.
It was great to see their little faces light up when they saw the Sleeping Beauty's castle. Claire kept screaming princess, princess castle.





Even papai got to see Mickey mouse ready to play baseball.


















Hello Mr. Disney and Mr. Mickey Mouse!!!















Leah will read us the untold story of Snow White and the old little men as Leah calles them.















This picture was taken at the end of the day. Very tired girls. Claire was a sleep that is why she wasn't in the picture.


















Fun times!!! Claire and Leah loved this ride. No one got scared...

















The fun tea cups, probably the most famous ride.

"It is a small world". This is my favorite ride with all the dancing dolls. My girls loved it too. What is not to like.





















Who is just so adorable? of course my Claire bear.
















Princess Leah watching the parade. They both dressed up to meet the princesses. Leah dress up as Cinderella and Claire as Sleeping Beauty.




















My two little princesses!!!















After standing in line for over a hour we got to finally meet the princesses, or at least some of them. Leah really wanted to see Cinderella, her favorite but we didn't get very lucky there Cinderella just step out right when it was our turn. bummer.
Princess Ariel, princess Tiana and princess Bell where the ones we met this time.






















Tinker Bell was so adorable, she really looked like the real one. My girls are in heaven...
What a fun day. the next day Leah and Claire sad can we go back to Disneyland we loved there. So all the waiting in line was worth it if it made my girls happy. I also have to admit that I liked being there too, I think Brad did it too everyone turns to a kid in Disneyland.

Utah ( haging out with the cousins)

Finally we were able to take a picture of all of us together.
Visiting Aunt Julie and Uncle Brian . So many cousins to play with.


Easter egg hunt. Claire thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Look at that cute face vovo.

Utah (General Conference)

Having lunch (almoco) at my Uncle Elias' house. Good fejoada tia Marilia!

Time to head to Temple Square. It was freezing that day, this is why we were all bundled up. Remember this was the first week of April and it seemed to snow every day we were there.

Leah and Claire visiting their buddies from Utah.

My good friend Jaquelina. It was nice to hang out with you even though it was only for a short period of time.
Thanks for dinner it was awesome!

The girls! Anatanielle (my cousin), me and my sister-in-law Kristy.
The whole gang at the old Tabernacle.



My parents were sealed at the Provo Temple.

General Conference Day. It was a wonderful and uplifting experience. I loved seeing the Prophet and listening to all the talks. The chorus was amazing and I was so grateful that I was able to be there with my husband, brother, and sister-in-law. My uncle came with us too and he is a really fun person to hang out with. Thanks tio for everything.
