Happy 5th Birthday Mikayla and Delilah!

Our precious babies, born as micropremies, turned 5!! I can't believe it!! So to celebrate this wonderful day, we headed down to Disneyland. Since we have annual passes, they received a $60 merchandise credit instead of a free admission pass - so each went crazy and got a doll, a sweater, lollipops, and miniature princess doll set. The first day, we took only the big girls and Caitlin stayed at the hotel with Aunt Emily. On Friday, we took Caitlin and she had a blast on the carousel, seeing the characters, and dancing at Playhouse Disney Live! We saw our friends, Scott, Laura, Abby and Megan, and Grandma and Grandpa Blackwell. The girls went swimming, ate at restaurants (their favorite to do!!), went to Disneyland and saw friends - they had a BLAST!! However, our last night at the hotel was less than desired. Our connecting room neighbors decided to smoke pot for several hours - as it seeped into our room and gave us headaches, coughing, and tummy aches. The hotel did nothing until Mike called again and insisted the smell was from the room next door. Security came up, kicked them out, fined them $300 AND had the nerve to apologize to them for the inconvenience - but never once did they apologize to us or offer to move us. Now, 5 days later, we have one very sick child - Mikayla that has bronchitis. The doctor said that the smoke very likely inflamed the situation. On top of that, the man was not in trouble because he had a medical license - but I don't think the giggly girl with him did. Oh well - the hotel and the parent company will hear from us just so they know! I am just thankful to God that we did have a fun time for the girls 5th birthday and very thankful for everything He has done for our little miracles.
