Happy 2nd Birthday

We took Aurora to Disneyland for her 2nd birthday. We all had such a good time. We started the day by going to straight to Disney's City Hall to get her a birthday pin and a 1st visit pin. When we told the lady it was her birthday she gave us the pins and also had Aurora talk to Goofy who sang Happy Birthday to her. Very cool for a 2 year old. Having the pin makes it where all the employees tell you happy birthday. After that we were heading to the Mad Hatter store when we saw Pluto in front of it. We got in line to meet him but then saw Mickey Mouse coming out so we ran over to Mickey(sorry pluto) and were the second people to meet him. She was a little apprehensive at first but was fine after she shook his hand. After Mickey Mouse we went to Mad Hatter and all 3 of us got ears. Rory got special Birthday ears.

The first ride we went on was Buzz Lightyear. She liked it but wasn't to good at aiming the gun. She was really good about going on the rides and went on all of the rides she was tall enough for. Her favorites were Nemo, Gadgets Go Coaster(she went on it twice) and Dumbo. We had minimum melt downs while waiting in lines which was great. She had a blast going through Minnie's house and Mickeys house. When we went to enter the Princess castle she got really excited and said Princess Aurora's castle, my castle!!!

Since it was her birthday we let her pick out a few toys in the princess castle store. She picked out a Ariel purse, Ariel wand and a lollipop. We let her have the lollipop while we were looking for a place to have lunch. When we took the lollipop away she started melting down. We let her cry while we were deciding on our orders. She stopped crying so I looked at her in her stroller and she was passed out. Adorable.

We took advantage of her being asleep and went to the main store to buy her a couple birthday presents. After she woke back up we went and rode some more rides. She enjoyed going on peter pan's flight since she recognized the characters. We went on a few more rides and then decided since it was 6:30 we would head to downtown Disney and get some dinner. We went to a pizza place where this guy was doing Disney balloon characters. It was very cool, he made Rory a Princess Ariel(noticing a theme yet?). After pizza we gave her her red velvet big Minnie Mouse cupcake. She LOVED it. She ate most all of it and was then bouncing off the walls until bedtime.

When we got back to the hotel we let her open her presents from us and then she took a bath, watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and then passed out within minutes.

All in all I think she had a great birthday.

The characters she met were Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse(we waited 30 mins) and Goofy.
