Last weekend, the fam was at Disneyland primarily for the Annual Microtia/Atresia Conference. After Mimi heard what a hit it was (and the fact that we did not actually spend much time at the park), she decided to treat the kiddos to another trip. Her words, "What's the point of being a grandparent, if I don't get to spoil my grandkids?"

Slappy Is Gonna Catch Chu
Uncle Wills arrived for a weekend visit, which meant Maddie got to spend the morning playing, "Unc Wills! I gonna Catch Chu!" which actually means "Uncle Wills! Come catch me!"Later, Uncle Wills stopped by Jess' work, and proceeded to get caught trying to find the all important blood slides of Dexter.

Madd Max Actually Goes To Disneyland
So Friday, we never actually went into Disneyland proper - all of our time spent either at the hotel or Downtown Disney, which probably would have been just fine with the kiddos. In the morning, we went to the Rainforest Cafe for breakfast, which was themed down to every last inch. We probably could have stayed there, and that would've been just fine with the kiddos (except for the occasional thunderstorm within the restaurant which scared the kids).
When we finally made it, Maddie got to drive in cars, hit up "It's a Small World" and ride the teacups with Dad.

Madd Max Goes To Disneyland
i.e. Vegas For Kids. The second we walked in to the hotel, passing a huge Mickey sculpture, Maddie was all in. Although she hadn't known who Mickey was pre-parking lot, she became enthralled by him.Instead of free drinks, they handed out balloons upon check-in, and the kiddos were thrilled. (Maddie has slept with her balloon the past two nights).And even more amazing - the hotel pool.Which had a slide for the smaller kiddos - Max stood at the top watching his sister.
After swimming, watching bubbles and giant cartoon characters, the kids were punch drunk. As we walked through Downtown Disney to get dinner, they both danced to every live band or music pumped in from speakers.

Madd Max Has Sunday Brunch
And then it was over to Great Aunt Marian and Great Uncle Bob's house for a post-wedding brunch, where Great Grandma sat with her 4 great-grandkids and 1 grandniece.
And Jess learned that there just is a difference between boys and girls. Max (1 year), Aiden (1 year, 1 month) and Landon (9 months) spent most of their time together trying to wrestle. They would toddle, crawl or scoot their way together and try to get on top of each other - something Maddie and the other little girls never did (and is clearly ingrained because it isn't a learned behavior unless all 3 have been sneaking watching the WWE).

Madd Max Heads To The Reception
Which was held in the Detroit Zoo in a building that also housed the butterfly house. Kristin is a vet, so this venue was very appropriate.
It was a beautiful two level building, which Max totally dug as one of his new favorite pastimes is climbing stairs, and saying, "Up! Up!"He also dug the butterfly house, unlike his sister who screamed in fear at the butterfly who landed on Jess (it was pretty big and sort of moth-like, so not entirely unwarranted screaming).
Madd Max Goes To The Ceremony
We came decked out.Max, in sauve banker attire, chosen by Mom.And Maddie in an outfit with shoes chosen by herself.This is Jess' cousin, Jeannie and her cutie daughter, Noelle. Please note, neither the moms nor the daughters planned this wardrobe selection.
