Yesterday went rather well and overall I think Tabitha enjoyed her day. When she called Chris and I in the morning to get her out of bed we walked in there singing Happy Birthday to her which pleased her very much. She then walked into the dining room and loved the streamers we had set up. She opened all her gifts and was probably most excited about the tickets to Hi-5 but also liked the Gameboy. She also had two things waiting from my grandmother, one was a sketch book with colored pencils which she made use of yesterday and completed 4 drawings over the course of the day. We then had to rush a bit to get out of the house as we had an early reservation for breakfast.

Once at Disneyland, we rented my wheelchair, met my in-laws and checked in for breakfast with the Princesses. I won't go into details as I don't wish to be negative, let's just say it was not quite what we had hoped for, but Tabitha loved it and that's the important thing. The rest of the day was pretty much just her dictating what rides we rode. Not all of us rode everything so someone was always able to get pictures. Though unlike the paparazzi, we did not try to take a picture of Cate Blanchett despite the fact that we stood behind her for 10 minutes at Casey Jr. Chris and my bil even tried to block other people from taking her picture by standing in their way, lol.

After a few hours at Disneyland we went over to California Adventure because Tabitha wanted to be sure to get her free tortillas at the Mission Tortilla Factory. Once we were done there, we headed to my in-laws' so they could give their gifts to Tabitha. She was very happy with everything, she received the other two Little People castle sets which completes that collection, two art things, one of which she opened immediately and started coloring, and a Gameboy game from my in-laws and another one from just my bil. She also received tickets to a Disney on Ice show, not to mention things they bought for her at Disneyland including the Princess breakfast we attended. When we got home she had Chris show her how to use her Gameboy and absolutely loved it. Now she's very excited to own one, lol. We even pulled out my old games from the original Gameboy (Tetris, anyone?) and played those as well. It took us forever to get her to sleep last night, but that was to be expected.

I did okay in the wheelchair, but by the end of the day, I still felt as if I had walked all day with the low pains. It was very, very hard for me to get to the car, I had to lean on Chris something fierce. But there is no way I would have lasted from 9:00am to 4:30pm without the wheelchair, so it was still very helpful. And yes, my husband had quite the fun pushing me around and letting go when it was a downhill. @@

I'll get pictures up on the birthday page later today and also try to get an update to Tabitha's site in. We only have my doctor's appt. this morning and then nothing more the rest of the day other than Tabtiha playing with all her stuff.

I also need to update the Disney site as we met a new character. But that will also probably be later, unless I manage it this morning. It will say on the sidebar whenever I get it done.

edited to add: Disney Character Site is updated now
