I promised! I promised! Ashleigh Baker

Okay, it’s getting late and I have to head to bed because tomorrow is a Very Big Day.

We’re celebrating Merritt’s first birthday (A YEAR! Already! I know!!) with my parents and John’s parents by going to Disneyland.

Be still my heart.

I love it there. I LOVE it.

And you know what’s fun? J’s parents have never been. Ever. They have no idea what it’s like. The wonder. The excitement. The fantasy of it all.

I mean, I know it’s not like they’re FIVE or anything. But still. You can’t help but feel it.

But I promised pictures. So I’m deliverin’ pictures, people.

And look, they are kinda made even more fun, because they’re from the trip two weekends ago when we had the chance to go, believe it or not, to the very same place we’re going tomorrow.

So you can just look at these, forget they’re from two weeks ago, and pretend you’re right there with us tomorrow. Kay?

Happy Birthday Merritt (& Ash)!!!! The pictures are so great! I have to tell you, Jake LOVED looking them with you and I wish I could just type his whole commentary (toddler-language & all) right here because it was SOO cute! :) He thought that the blue genie in the photos was a rhino. He also thought that the beast (as in beauty's) was a "Bid (big) Niiice LOUD Rhino". He LOVED Troy's Lightning outfit, of course. Thx for sharing all the cute pics!

Wow… this is a SMALL world sometimes! I don’t know everyone at church really well – we haven’t been going too long ourselves. But Woodside is an awesome place! Would a sweetheart named Stacey be one of your nieces? Or is she someone else’s daughter?

Happy Birthday to Merritt – he and I share the same birthday. And I would love to spend it at Disneyland – it is the happiest place on earth!

I do get to go to the Disney on Ice with my family – that will have to suffice!
