Elijah Goes To Disneyland!

Elijah just had his very first Disney experience! Granmumsy and Pop asked several months ago if they could take Elijah to California.  We were so excited about this opportunity for Elijah. He is such an amazing big brother, so sharing and thoughtful and although I know having siblings makes life so much more fun, we thought it would be nice for Elijah to have the chance to be the sole center of attention for a change. And although I know he missed being with our family of five, he had an amazing time with his grandparents exploring the new to him world of a Disney! Aunt Shula, who lives in California, came along and documented the trip with photos!

That is the face of a satisfied and tired little boy. Three awesome days.

Thank you so much to Granmumsy and Pop for an incredible Disney experience for our Elijah and to Aunt Shula for documenting the trip so we could see the joy on his face.
