Christmas


Merry Christmas!  I just love this season.  I love shopping, baking, giving gifts, driving around to see all the amazing lights, being with family, decorating gingerbread houses, surprises, the 12 Days of Christmas and wrapping presents. I love that we get to celebrate the Saviors birth and for all the magic that fills the air this time of year, I love sharing and giving to those less fortunate than I.  I love the stories, the music and the hours my kids have spent on the piano playing their Christmas music.  I love being so excited to see the smiles on my kids faces that I can't sleep!  And did I mention that I love wrapping gifts?  We hope you all have a Very Merry Christmas!

Disneyland

So Grandma and Grandpa started taking all the Grandkids to Disneyland a couple years ago.  All the older kids have been and Analee is now old enough it was her turn to go with Logan and Brenna and I got to go along for the ride!  I have never been during Christmas so it was fun to see all the decorations.  The little kids were so brave and went on all the BIG rides.  If you ask them their favorite they would say Tower of Terror.  It didn't take them long to know which rides had the pictures and when they took them.  We started posing for them.  It was so funny to see two little kids posing on the rides, we acted scared, bored, asleep and did thumbs up.  It rained the first day we were there (this was a first for me also) so after we got soaked we did a Walmart run and bought rain boots and warmer clothes.  It was perfect there was absolutely nobody in the parks and we were dry and warm.  We ate good food, shopped and had a great time.
