Finally...here are the Disney pics from our awesome Christmas Trip!!  We flew out Christmas morning...best time EVER to fly...no waiting! :)
Love this picture of my two boys playing on their iPads! HA!
 Cute kiddos in their Christmas Disney shirts!
 So, we get to our hotel, check in and its off to Disneyland! We couldm't have planned it better, we walk in and the Christmas Day Parade is going!! And the first floats we see?!?
Woody.....
 and BUZZ!! Kaden was in heaven...he was in AWE!!
 And to make it even better?! Santa himself!! I was DYING...I was literally in DISNEY CHRISTMAS HEAVEN!! :)
 Ahhhh....look at all the people!

So...these next pictures are totally out of order....but you will get the idea....lots of fun, lots of rides, lots of happy smiles from my kids! It was WONDERFUL! :)  And some of these pics are from my phone...so if the quality is different, that's why!!
 BAHAHAHAHA! This picture of my cute hubby makes me LAUGH! :)
 The girls making their Build-A-Bears!
 Getting ready for the shuttle for Day 2 at Disney!
 Love Mickey's Fun Wheel!
 The muppets 3D!
 I LOVE this picture...this was the 1st ride we went on the first day there...Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. I'm sorry...but LOOK at Kaden's face!!! He had just seen Buzz and was SO HAPPY!!

 It was GORGEOUS with all the lights, the garland, the trees, the Mickey Mouse shaped wreaths. Beautiful I tell ya!
 Mom and Kaden on the new Little Mermaid ride.
 Mickey's Fun Wheel!
 Kaden seriously had the BEST time and was SO dang good the whole trip!
 Gotta love "It's tough to be a bug!"
 So this is leaving the park the 1st day....they CRASHED when they were in the stroller and we were heading back to the hotel. So funny!
 Ahhhhh....Small World Holiday style!
 My cute girlies!
 It was decorated so cute and fun with all it's Christmas decorations!
 Our family photo! HA! :)
 Love this pic of these two in the teacups!
 Dad sprung for new Minnie Ears! What a nice daddy!! :)
 These next pictures made my WHOLE trip worth it. Kaden is OBSESSED with Toy Story. I'm not kidding. It's a little over the top. I wasn't too sure how he would take the whole, bigger than life, real characters. But...the kid did NOT disappoint. He RAN over to Woody, starts dancing with him....
 gives him the BIGGEST hug....oh man. I'm not gonna lie...it brought tears to my eyes!!
 And if that wasn't enough...Buzz was next. Kaden was a PRO by this time....again ran right over and LEAPED into Buzz's arms. So dang awesome!!
 The whole fam and Buzz!
 We were super lucky when we checked into our hotel...we were early, so our room wasn't quite ready...so they UPGRADED us for FREE to the kids suite. Complete with a seperate room and BUNK BEDS for the kiddos. They were in heaven. It was so fun!!
 Pretty castle!! Notice how there isn't a soul in front of the castle?!? This was on our 3rd day...and I'm not kidding...we were one of the FIRST people in line....just waiting for them to move the ropes and let us in!!
 My cute girlies watching the High School Musical performers!
 Kylee loves rock climbing!!
 Boo's turn! They did AWESOME!
 My cute kiddos. Man...this was such a fun Christmas surprise. They were in heaven...I was in heaven...couldn't have been better!!
 Me and Kaden....waiting on dad and the girlies while they were on a ride!
 Cute boy!! :)
 This kid LOVED the Disney Junior shows...look at that happy face!!
 These two were ROCKSTARS the whole time we were there. There was alot more people than when we have been before, so the lines were longer...but these two girls were troopers and made it so much fun!!
 Dad and Kaden...heading into Toy Story Mania. I have NO idea what is going on with Kaden's hair here! HA!
 Love the 3D glasses! :)
 I tried this picture probably 10 times....either Drew had his eyes closed...Kaden was looking somewhere...something was wrong! HA...this is the best one I could get. Man, I sure love my two boys! :)
I am so thankful we were able to pull off this awesome surprise for Christmas. It was so much fun to be somewhere so magical and create such wonderful memories with my little family!!! :)

Winter Break Pt. 1

Yes....I do realize that I am quite behind in posting these.

You are just lucky you are getting them at all. HA!

This year we went down to my parents house for Christmas. And we had a blast. Christmas Eve was so awesome, we had us, my mom and dad, my little brother, my aunt and uncle and my grandma and grandpa. It was so fun to be with so much family. Oh how I love the holidays.

But...I am horrible at picture taking.

I have a few....but not nearly as many as I would like. Ugh.

Brooklyn and Kylee entertained us with their song and dance. They sang the 12 days of Christmas...and this is their ending pose. They are supposed to be a partridge in a pear tree. HA!
 Opened a few presents....like the big ol' goose egg on Brooklyn's head? Just wait till Christmas morning pictures...Kylee will have one on her eye to match. Poor girls!!
 Kaden totally understood the whole opening presents deal. As soon as he realized actual toys were under the paper....he started opening EVERYTHING! This boy does not mess around!!
Bullseye and Woody. Toy Story OBSESSED.
Christmas morning was of course so fun....up early, stockings and presents from Santa.

So excited to start!! Notice Kylee's shiner?
Minnie Mouse headphones....

Kaden was so excited for a talking Woody! He loves him!!
He is obsessed with Woody's hat.
On, off, on, off, on, off....you get the picture. :)
A new Cinderella barbie and clothes...
Kaden got a Mickey Mouse Scooter....
and loves it!!! (Notice a theme with all the DISNEY stuff?!?!)

Then it was time for the girls to open one last present....they opened a gift and inside were some letters....
the first one said....

It's going to be a MAGICAL Christmas.
Pack your bags cause we are going to.....


DISNEYLAND!!!!

The girls were SO excited....I think they thought we were teasing!!

video
We got ready....and then headed to the airport for DISNEYLAND!!
Oh how I just love Disney.

More to come!!!
