We celebrated my mom’s 50th birthday this weekend by taking her on a long weekend trip to a place she’s never been…Disneyland! She’s been to Disney World several times and loves it there. So, when thinking about awesome ways to celebrate her 50th, a trip to Disneyland was the easy choice!

We ended up having a larger group than expected. Of course, my mom and youngest sister came along…

Two things…1) My other sister, Jenny, and her family couldn’t make it, so this isn’t a complete family photo.  2) Yes, I am rocking an AWESOME DuckTales t-shirt (woo-oo!).

We were also joined by several of the Bergs!  Matt, Kevin (of course!), Kennie, and their dad all came for the fun, too!  (Seriously, if you plan a Disney trip around the Bergs, they’re going to tag along!  They can’t help themselves!  But, honestly, who can blame them?)

We also had to grab a quick photo of my mom by herself in front of Sleeping Beauty’s castle.

And Kevin and I had to grab our standard “smile in front of the castle” photo, too!  (And, yes, this is awesome t-shirt #2!  I Heart Dinosaurs!)

While on this trip, we ran into Minnie sporting a new outfit!  Doesn’t she look lovely?

And one final photo of my mom on her first visit to Disney’s California Adventure!

We didn’t take many photos as this trip was about spending time with family, but we grabbed the “must-haves.” It was a wonderful way to celebrate a milestone in my mom’s life. Happy birthday again, Mom!
