This past Monday, Michael and I called in for subs and took the day off of work to spend the day as a family and bring Abigail to Disneyland. She's 6 months old and loves looking around at her surroundings, so what better time to take her to Disneyland than when the holiday decorations are up!
We started the day by eating at the restaurant Michael works at inside of the Hotel: PCH Grill. The food was really good, and the best part was that we got an opportunity to interact with the characters without all the lines and crowds inside the park. It was also Abbie's first time sitting in a restaurant high chair, and she did great. She sat up, and played with the table napkins until the characters came to visit her. Her first character interaction was with Stitch. She wasn't phased at all by the large blue fuzzy person next to her. She just held his hand and smiled. She really seemed to like all the characters, but she liked Minnie the most. Tooo cute!

After leaving breakfast, we stopped by the Grand Californian, where I got to stop and see a couple friends I used to work with. Then we headed for Disneyland. We never made it into California Adventures, which is fine, because that just means we can spend a whole other day there next time. :)
Inside Disneyland, we visited Minnie & Mickey in their houses at Toontown and then went around taking pictures of the beautiful decor and even hopping on the rides. For being the first official day of Holiday at Disneyland, it was not crowded. The lines for the rides were 15 minutes or less! We even got back in line for It's a Small World because Abbie loved it so much, and because there was absolutely no line!

It was such a great day! Abbie was such a trooper and didn't cry at all (seriously!) even though her feeding and sleeping schedule was completely off, and even though we kept waking her up. And yes, we know she probably won't remember this day because she's so young, but Michael and I will. And we will be here and armed with pictures to show her how much she enjoyed her first trip to Disneyland. :)
