Not lovin' the brocolli!!

Christmas at Disneyland

We drove to Anaheim on Christmas Eve. Our hotel was awesome!! It had the biggest Christmas tree for the boys to run around to get their wiggles out after sitting in the car for soooo long!! They were so excited!! Christmas morning came and off to Disneyland we went. We got there bright and early. So early that we were able to go on the buzz lightyear ride 3 times with no lines!!

This is the scary pumpkin guy from the Nightmare before Christmas that Briggy kept making us show him on the computer weeks before we went to Disneyland. He LOVES this guy!!
Sylvie went on EVERY ride with us. She was SOOO good. She just slept in her sling most of the time!!
One of the highlights of Disneyland for the boys was the Jedi training academy. They picked kids from the audience, gave them robes and lightsavers and showed them how to fight Darth Vader. It was awesome. The only problem was the first time we went they only picked Kason, and not Marshall. Kason had a blast, but Marshall was VERY bummed he didn't get chosen.
Needless to say we went to the Jedi Training Academy twice. While everyone was eating lunch I grabbed Marshall and he was the third one chosen the time we went. He was VERY happy!! Both Marshall and Kason still talk about how they cut Darth Vader's head off. Very funny!!

They even found some treasure on an island they had to walk the plank for!! arg matee!! Oh, and they loved the Pirates of the Caribean ride except Kason really thought they were shooting at him so he ducked to dodge the fire. Very cute!! They still aren't sure what is real and what isn't. I think they thought the animals were real on the jungle cruise. I love their ages and their innocence!!

Brig had a blast just running around everywhere. Can you tell he's having the time of his life by the look on his face?
The lines weren't too bad, but they definitely got worse the later it got. Good thing we got there early and left early!!We waited the longest (45 mins) for the Dumbo ride. Brigham REALLY wanted to go on it!! We did everything we set out to do except the finding nemo submarine ride..next time!

It's Christmas Time!!

The night before "Christmas" they left out cookies and milk for Santa, and opened their jammy present!! We celebrated Christmas a day early this year because we went to Disneyland for Christmas day. The kids didn't know the difference. After they opened presents we took off for California!! The kids had a blast opening presents! Here are a few "Christmas morning" pictures..

Sylvie's first stocking!!

Ofcourse I got Sylvie her first tutu!! Every little girl needs one, don't you think?
The boys worked together opening presents. Briggy was overwhelmed. He was happy playing with the first presents he opened instead of opening new ones!! Marshall and Kason couldn't wait to get to open more and more presents.

Next.... Disneyland!!!
