Disneyland with Her Homegirls

There's actually a couple different events to put up in this post, but I LOVE the pictures of V and her buddies at Disneyland because they're all precious like collectible dolls. (But don't collect them, though, because ew.) Veronica's already been to Disneyland like 50 times or something ridiculous, so she is a master at selecting rides.



Look at them big pimpin' in that Dumbo! (No, we don't tell her what big pimpin' means...)



Staring into the dark depths of her future. Nah, it's just a tunnel!



With Mary Poppins! Veevs effing LOVES Lady Pop, she watches it all the time. And it's weird enough that a 2 year old can watch a movie all the way through, but her affinity to old school musicals generally makes it worth it.



Let those blocks be a clear indicator just how gigantor the Disneyland tree is. Yowza.



Now the pics get nice and random. Here's Veronica with her first Happy Meal, which activates her American citizenship. (I don't know if you knew that. Truth.)



This is how Ama dressed her for the Hollywood Christmas Parade. She looks thrilled. aha. AHAHAHAHAAHA.



Veronica loves to help her Dadops with morning chores. For real.



I'm pretty sure that a) this was her christmas list and b) she got every effing thing she put on that list.



Here's V with her old lady and her buddy Nico.



She taught herself how to swing!



It's so much more like flying this way!

San Diego Zoo

If you're wondering if Veronica has been to more places and done more cool things by age two than you have in your whole life - you're right. She has. Sorry, sucker.



This is her, befriending a big ape. So sweet, that girl.



This is her, befriending the photo of a lion cub on a vending machine. So confused, that girl. (She chose this photo location, for the record.)



Here she is, possibly thinking she's in a cage. Again: confused. But soooooo cute. (Which is what really matters.) Now: more video!



Cute! And confused!



All good outings should end like this, I think.

Now, in a similarly themed but separate trip to the wild animal park...



Veronica asks to have her picture taken in front of an ATM. (Fine, it was probably the gorilla that enticed her but oh my god my money is not going on her being an art director. Which is okay because she needs to concentrates on pageants, anyway.)



Maybe her pageant talent could be animal wrangling?



I loooooove this picture. And so I end on it.

Huntington Gardens Members Day

I need to do some catch up posts with pictures of V before the mom brigade (i.e. Elaine and Gidget) start sending me death threats. Settle down, women!

These pics (and video!) are from Veronica's fun time at the Huntington Gardens.



Look at that saucy little thing! As V's Ama knows, I'm partial to a Scottish tartan, and this is a nice approximation. (To be honest, I prefer mine on a pirate Highlander, but whatever.)



This was her first snowman cookie. ALLEGEDLY.



And this was her first sugar rush from a snowman cookie.



Once they wrangled her down, they made her sit on Santa. Eh. Could be worse. Now: moving picture of Veronica being chased around a tree by Auntie!



Giggles and giggles!
