Feb. 22nd

Today was all about Addison.  Everything she knows about her role in our family is about to change, so we gave her a special treat with a little surprise!

"Why is Micky Mouse on the train mommy?"  The windows on the subway train that takes you to Hong Kong Disneyland in the picture below were what she was referring to in Mickey Mouse being on the train.   A great way to start the day; Addison was excited just getting on the "Mickey Mouse train" as she called it, having no idea what was in store for her!

 

 

 

Not until we read her this sign did she figure out what her surprise was and what we were doing today.

 

These next two pictures are worth way more than a thousand words, or any amount of money!  They are all anyone would need to see in order to figure out that this little girl was absolutely thrilled about going to Disneyland!!! 

"Look mom, over there, it's Ariel"

 

"And over there, that's a picture of Cinderella, look mom do you see her!?!"

 

  

Addison got all dolled up as Snow White (By the way, not her favorite princess.  That would be Ariel.  But Snow White was a far more reasonable idea when it came to walking around dressed up as a princess all day in the park).  They did her hair, her make-up, the whole works.  She was absolutely breath taking.  We had brought Addison's dress, magic wand, shoes...everything with us, which we found out not everyone does.  The boutique sells everything a little girl needs to dress up like their favorite princess but one thing - the shoes.   So that only goes to reason why the ladies making her up were enthralled with her shoes.  All nine other ladies putting togehter other little girls stopped and dropped what they were doing to come check out Addison's shoes, they ooo'ed and ahhhh'ed over them.  Jen was a little embarrassed, but Addison was just soaked it in.  I suppose it's because the shoes are more for the pictures after they get dolled up and not so practical for walking around the park.  They just use a plain gray pair for every princess; gray goes with any princess dress, and since most parents weren't buying them at the boutique, they quite selling them.  Apparently just about everyone, but us, buys everything right at the boutique instead of bringing it with them, who knew?     

 

 

 

 

We were able to take in the Golden Mickey's musical show, during which Ariel was suspended from the ceiling swimming around the stage.  Ariel was one of about 10 different musical numbers that featured different Disney characters through the songs from their movies.  When we got back to the hotel we asked Addison what her favorite thing from Disneyland was, she said, "Seeing Ariel!"

It was a great day!  A long day, but a great day none the less.  Once again we have a tired little girl tonight.  She woke up to eat supper, but was fast asleep in mom's arms before we left the restaurant.


Good night all!
Jason, Jen, and Addison
