In January Lilly sent us an e-mail telling us that Disneyland was offering free tickets to anyone during the year on their birthday. My birthday happened to fall on a Saturday and so I signed up. I was sent a golden ticket which saved us $70.
When we went through the gate they gave me a badge to pin on saying Happy Birthday and my name. All day long workers and visitors would say Happy Birthday. It was fun.
The park was all decked out for Halloween. Many of the visitors were wearing costumes. It was pretty festive.
In the Haunted Mansion one of the workers that was dressed up slowly walked past us then quickly flipped around and said Happy Birthday. I thought I was going to have a heart attack.
We had so much. We are still kids at heart.
We ate lunch while watching the Billy Hillbillies. We loved their corny jokes.
It was fun to see the changes in "It's a Small World". It is as fun as ever with some new fun additions.
Toon Town isn't only for children.
This Halloween Tree looked really cool in the daytime and
night time.
Our favorite part of the day was watching Fantasmic and the Halloween Fireworks.
The fireworks were in Halloween colors as Disney Halloween music played. It was quite the way to spend your birthday. Disney really knows how to celebrate even with dancing in the streets.
Jared this one is for you. I can just imagine you out there having a great time dancing in the streets.
We are looking forward to clam chowder bread bowls, fish and chips and a pastrami sandwich.
The long line is worth it
I tried over and over again to post this picture upright but no matter what I tried it always came out this direction. It was too cute of a picture to leave out.

In Young Women's we listened to Pres. Monson's talk on service that he gave in conference. Then we made Warm Fuzzy Jars to encourage us to do more kind acts of service toward our family members. Her is Danielle with her Warm Fuzzy Jar.

A wild and crazy pose. Of course it is their favorite kind.

Mark met us for breakfast and it was fun visiting with him.
This is Mark's new home. Last week we helped him move in. This is one amazing home. It is owned by a man who has many connections with the movie making world. The bottom floor is his domain with a theater for him to perform magic.
