Merry Merry Christmas to you!

Here is a bit of what we were up to during the holidays!

Nutcracker!

We visited Jack's family for Christmas this year.  We were able to see the Nutcracker and Gabi was SO excited. Truth be told I was too, I had never seen it live. It was so beautiful and Gabi was a champ. Got a little sleepy near the end but it was an experience I hope she never forgets!  I already want to go back and see it again!

Beautiful lights on the grounds.

The excitement before the ballet!

A dragon and a fairy

This year the kids were a cute dragon and a beautiful fairy! Enjoy!

Gabi goes to Kindergarten!

I can't believe it, Gabi is going to Kindergarten.

Here is a cute picture we took to remember the special day!

I didn't cry till I got home! LOL

Crazy dust storm!

We caught these pictures just before the dust storm AKA Huboob hit!

First trip to Disneyland!

 Get ready for highlights from our trip to the Happiest Place on Earth! (Trip taken in April 2012)

We actually had hard time getting him to leave the hotel room...His favorite show Curious George was on.

This princess is ready to go!

Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy.

Jack really wanted Jasmine to take off her heavy coat.... LOL.

The other girls are the kids aunts, Olivia and Aja.

A short ferry ride to Pirate Island to find some treasure!

Bouncy happy Tigger!!

Eeyore told me ...Don't bother putting a caption on this picture of me.... No one ever does. Boo hoo

Gotta love Winnie the Pooh!

Giving Pooh a kiss!

And impromptu meeting with Belle! Her and Cinderella were becoming mauled by preschoolers and were late to an "event" so their handlers had to come and "rescue" them.

Loving the merry go round!

Feeling like a big kid.

Someone is done for the day...We were waiting in line for the Peter Pan ride.

What you didn't see from this day....

Took a ride on Finding Nemo first (longest line by far!) Also road Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters ride 3 times! Both the kids loved that one. Jack will tell you he got the highest score of everyone else playing when we did. Gabi loved haunted mansion and road that twice! We got to ride pretty much everything and anything we wanted this day crowds were pretty light, and we were thankful!

Day 2

I thought this was the Happiest Place on Earth!

Tiana is asking the girls if they have ever kissed a frog. Ha ha!

Ariel was by far the most personable!

I loved how she interacted with the kids at their level.

Happiness at Toon Town. 

Gabi had just come off riding the rollercoaster there, her very first one!

Just as we were leaving the park to go back to the hotel to take a nap we found Minnie!

So cute! 

I loved her shoes! :)

Waiting for some fireworks...

Finally a smile!

Fun was had by all!

We had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back!

What you didn't see this day....

Road the Nemo ride again plus Buzz Lightyear, Haunted Mansion, Winnie the Pooh and many others.

Road Pirates of the Caribbean and forgot about that massive drop at the beginning. Good thing we held on to Ezra for dear life! LOL

Jack decided he wants his own personal dole whips at home.
