Hi everyone!
So, we thought that it would be nice to include a weekly post looking back at some of our favourite memories. We are calling it Monday Memories. We will be adding ‘old’ photos and thoughts from the last few years and hope that these posts will make you smile as much as we do :)

This week, we’ve found some old photos we’d like to share. These are photos of me (Nicole) meeting Mickey Mouse! I’ve always been a huge Disney fan, and going to Disneyland in Annaheim and in Paris was a huge adventure for me. Meeting Mickey and Minnie and Pluto, especially as a young girl, was such a great experience, one that I will never forget. I think the photos speak for themselves and show how happy I was :)
In the first photo above, I was five years old and meeting Mickey Mouse for the first time. You can see just how excited I was – Mickey Mouse even gave me a kiss on the cheek! This was my first ever trip to Disneyland in America and I loved every minute of it :)
In the second photo above, you can see an older Nicole, still a big fan of Mickey Mouse though! I was 14 years old, and again visiting Disneyland in Annaheim on our way to Germany to visit family and friends. A very exciting day and fun adventure.
In the third photo above, you can see me and Mickey together again a few years later. This time we met at Euro Disney in Paris when I was 21 years old and traveling around Europe. I went to Euro Disney for two days with Fiona and John, and we have the most amazing time together. Meeting Mickey Mouse again was of course a highlight :)

I met Mickey one more time, when Rene and I went to Paris for a week in January 2000, but all of our photos from when we lived in Europe together are in a box (still haven’t fully unpacked since the move), so will upload a photo from my 4th meeting with Mickey when I have the chance to go through our old photos.

Anyway, that’s our first post for Monday Memories – thanks for reading :)
Love xxx Nicole and Rene xxx
