gaga's birthday!!

this year, my mom turned 55. yes, she is officially a senior citizen. whenever they go out to eat, my dad insists she order off the senior menu, or pay for a senior movie ticket. i would!! i would take advantage of every discount i could get my hands on.

she requested that we do an amusement park extravaganza for her birthday this year. we would go to disneyland for mickey's halloween party from 4pm to 12am and then get up and go to knotts berry farm all day. sounds like a great idea to me!! i was really excited since we had never done the mickey's party before. it was really nice. everyone was in costume, not too crowded and you got to go trick or treating at the park. you have the opportunity to get some serious candy!! disneyland doesn't skimp on candy. they've got the good stuff. snickers, m&m's, skittles, kit kats, etc. good chocolate candy. yummm. the kids wore their halloween costumes and they actually lasted all night long. my brother met us there and it was nice to see him. it had been a while since i had seen him. the kids love their uncle trevor. we saw fireworks too and got our pictures with mickey and minnie. ellie even went on splash mountain!! granted, she had no idea what the ride entailed, but she did it and says she won't do it again.

the next day, we went to knotts and had a great time too. the park wasn't too crowded, but a lot of rides were down. we stayed mostly in camp snoopy and the kids got to trick or treat there too. they didn't get as much candy as disneyland, but it was fun!! jj and i went on pony express and we had a good time. we were a little tired from the long night before, but overall, it was a super fun weekend!! happy birthday gaga!!!
