The Happiest Place on Earth









Once upon a time there was a princess named, Stella Josephine. She was turning three years old and her royal parents decided to throw her a spectacular birthday party at a place called Disneyland. Not only did she rub arms with other princesses of her type, but large animals and friendly bears, too! After a healthy helping of Mickey Mouse pancakes, chocolate milk and churros (okay, so Mommy didn't let her have any churros), she took to every ride the magical kingdom would allow (34" stature allows for more than one might think). Dumbo, the Matterhorn, Snow White, Jungle Ride, Autopia, Monsters Inc., Pirates of the Caribbean, It's a Small World... you name it. Upon returning to her cottage in the woods (ie. deluxe lodging at the California Grand), she would rest her weary head with a smile so big it puts Mickey's to shame. This tale has the happiest of endings as Stella met many a prince (all too young still to commence in bethrothal, but names and numbers were taken). Princess Stella was the happiest of all princesses after this trip and will cherish those memories for years to come. Her story, and the 400+ pictures that were taken, captures the essence of the happiest day of this young princess' life. The End.

Birthday Celebrations Before Disneyland






Before M, D, Grammy/Grampy, Sis, Uncle Dave, Aunt Maria and Cousin Benny and I head down south to Anaheim, California, we had a short little visit to Fairytale Town with my preschool. Mommy brought cupcakes so that everyone could serenade me in the birthday song and then, of course, indulge in cupcake yummy goodness. Being three has never felt so great. :) Happy Birthday to me! For the record, I'm not actually 3 until Friday, May 15th, but I'll work this birthday week like nobody's business ;)

Much Love,
Stella Josephine xoxo
