It snowed at Disneyland


This was pretty incredible.  It fell just like real looking snow.  It was made of some kind of bubbly foamy stuff--which hopefully was edible since we all tried to taste it.  It was even almost as cold out as a (warm) snowy evening.  The kids were mesmorized by the magic of it--pretty much the whole crowd was.


Lydia catches some on her hand.


Poor Sam had to wear pink.  We accidently brought a jacket too small for Anna.  His was bigger so they had to switch.

Anna's Disney Day


We took advantage of the "get in free on your birthday" deal for Anna's birthday.  Someday we hope to move closer to home, but until then we gotta get as much of Disneyland as we can.  (And not for the kids sake...it's ME that loves it!) 

We had a great day.  Stayed almost til midnight.  But the midnight bus left early, so we had to wait twenty minutes (in the freezing cold--I know I don't even have any room to talk about cold, but we were wearing three layers by then and had the kids bundled up in blankets.  It WAS cold.) for it to come back and then wait on the bus til 12:30 for the last run.  Nathan couldn't believe we took the last bus of the night and we learned that we won't do that again for his sake.  But it satisfied my need to spend every last minute getting in as much fun as possible.  (Although I was tired enough by end that I didn't even care what else we missed.)

The Giant Christmas Tree

I was going to label the land these rides are in, but I can't remember that detail.  It must be called storybook land or something...

Pictures with our favorite Hundred Acre Woods' characters.

When we asked the kids which character they wanted to meet, Pooh was the unanimous pick.
Our classic family favorite: the Small World ride.  Can't miss this one.  The Christmas lights decorating the outside were pretty incredible.

Our Spooky House


We finally pulled this spooky house kit out of the closet for our post-Halloween FHE activity.  Boy did the kids have a fun time making it.  They enjoyed eating it just as much.


Our excited bunch.
