Tatum's 3rd Birthday in Disneyland

DAY 3
For Tatum's 3rd birthday we woke up early and used the Disney Magical Morning Pass (got in an hour early).  Our birthday girl woke up in a wonderful mood and she was so super excited it was her birthday!!

Happy Birthday Tatum. 

The shuttle ride over was so fun.  We had an awesome driver.  He really got everyone pepped up and ready for a great day.  We sang songs and did little chants.  And then we got to sing Happy Birthday to everyone that had a birthday in the month of December.  Of course we sang to Tatum and she loved it!!

Right when we walked in the gate, there was Mickey again!!  So of course Tatum wanted to see him and tell him it was her birthday.

And then we were off to Fantastyland to start some rides.  Guess what ride we started on??  Yes it was the rockets.  We had quite the hilarious time on the rockets [some of the family was a bit scared, and it wasn't our girls ;)] it was pretty great!!  After the Rockets some of us went and did Star Tours, the new version was definitely fun and Matt took the girls on Buzz.  Then it was back to the teacups and of course the carousel.  Tatum tried her hardest to pull the sword out of the stone but it was so tough ;)

Fun on the teacups

Even Gramma rode the teacups!!

Trying to get the sword!!

Thunder Mountain had been closed for the first 2 days we were there and it finally opened that morning.  So everyone headed over to ride it while Gramma and I took the girls to the Reindeer Roundup.  It was pretty fun seeing the Reindeers up close, they sure are fast!!  And Pluto was over there too so we got to see him again.  Then Tatum sat down and got to color a Reindeer Garland for our mantle.  Camdyn slept through the fun but I am sure she was having sweet dreams!!

Loved coloring at Disneyland.

We went to lunch in downtown Disney, it was super cold because it was so windy but we enjoyed our lunch.  Then we headed over to California Adventure where we did the Monsters Inc ride.  We had never done that ride before and it was a lot of fun.  Then we got to see Sully and Tatum gave him big hugs!!  Luckily we also rode Toy Story Mania too!!

Ready for Toy Story Mania

We headed back over to Disneyland in hopes of catching the parade.  Tatum had been asleep during the parade the past 2 days and we really wanted her to see it.  So of course she fell asleep.  I decided to wake her up to watch it since she had been asleep a bit.  She was pretty grumpy when I woke her up but she was still excited to see it and Camdyn loved watching it go by!!


Santas Ride

We of course stopped off at the Rockets for a quick ride then headed to California Adventure for some nice warm soup for dinner and a Birthday Cookie for our Big 3 year old!!!  Then we ended the night watching World of Color.  It was amazing of course.  Tatum liked it in the beginning but then it got too loud and she got scared and again she and I huddled on the ground.  Camdyn enjoyed it and watched almost the whole thing!!

On the bus ride back I told Matt that we needed to sing Happy Birthday to Tatum since we were all together.  It was pretty quiet on the bus so I asked everyone on it if they could please help me in singing Happy Birthday to our beautiful Tatum.  Everyone seemed happy to join in.  Tatum loved having a song sung just for her and her smile was ear to ear!!  A perfect way to end her birthday!!
