A Perfect End to a Summer of Fun

We hope everyone is doing well. The Lujan Familia had a fun summer. It started off with my brother Matthew graduating high school and my little brother, Joseph, graduating elementary school. I'm super proud of them! Madison lost her 2 bottom teeth in June. The tooth fairy was very busy. All I have to say is that I wish I had Maddie's generous tooth fairy when I was a little girl. Both the girls celebrated their birthdays in July. Madison is 5 and Brianna is 2. I can't believe how quick my little sweethearts are growing. I had small parties for the girls because we were going Disneyland for their birthdays. We went to visit my family and was able to celebrate with them at a water park. Both Madison and Brianna had a great time with all their little cousins. Of course we did the usual summer stuff like swimming, we hung out with friends and had BBQs. Last week was our Disneyland trip. I'm thinking this will be an annual trip for us because we have so much fun. We spent 3 days there and had a blast! It's very tiresome but worth every minute. I took Bri this year and she did great. She was so excited to see most characters and enjoyed all the rides. We also did character dining and breakfast with Minnie and friends. It was so awesome. All the characters came to our table and signed the girls autograph books, chatted with them for a while and took pictures. Below are some of the many pictures that I took. Enjoy.

The happiest place on earth

Wild and crazy drivers.

Maddie and her favorite princess: Ariel. The new Little Mermaid ride is amazing and beautiful.

Show me those muscles.

Maddie asked Flynn Rider what was in his satchel and he pulled out the stolen crown.

Adorable!!!

Brianna kept yelling faster and faster. We were on a lady bud ride in Bugs Land that was similar to the tea cups. She's my daredevil.

Chatting with Stitch

Bri and grandma on the Little Mermaid ride

The flying Lujan girls

Rafiki was the first character to visit our table and he scared the daylights out of my poor little girl. We also got to visit with Tigger, fairy godmother, Chip and Dale and lots more.

Priceless!!! She was in 'awww' and her little brown eyes just lit up

Chatting with Minnie. I missed the shot but Brianna gave her a kiss on the nose.

Sleeping Beauty

We hope everyone had a great summer. Next on the menu: soccer practice begins tomorrow and Madison starts kindergarten in 2 days. I think she'll do pretty good but I don't think I'm going to survive. It wasn't hard for me to leave her at preschool but I'm getting sad about kinder. We went to orientation today and she got to meet her new teacher. She felt somewhat comfortable but we'll see in a few days. Have a great school year everyone!
