Opa's 60th Birthday ...at Disneyland!

My opa is my rock, he was my father figure growing up and everything in a grandpa that a little girl could ask for. To this day we've remained best friends and I take comfort in being able to count on and confide in this special man.

Last Tuesday was the big 6-0 and I wouldn't have missed it for the world! It just so happened that some of my family planned a Disneyland vacation that week so I met up with them for two days.

For his gift I made him a beer sampler from Trader Joe's (Utah doesn't have a Trader Joe's *yet* nor a wide array of beers, so he was excited!)


i know nothing about beers

disney finally made my favorite laptop case in my size!

  2. I would love to meet up! Let me know the dates you are thinking and feel free to email me :)

    Also, Beetlejuice doesn't have to be confined to Halloween-time, I watch it all year round, but it's a good one for a Halloween themed movie night!
