Disneyland part 1

Over Thanksgiving some of my family was able to make the trek down to California. That was part of the reason for my going home so early...of course we wanted to tag along. :) We had a great time. It was so much fun just being together and letting the kids have some time with their cousins. We sure missed all of you who couldn't make it and we for sure will have to do it again some time real soon! A huge thanks goes out to all my family for all their help with my little group. Three little ones is no easy task on an ordinary day but mix in Disneyland minus their Dad and it could equal a real disaster. Enough said...here is some proof of our awesome adventures!


I don't have a picture of the van my Dad rented to fit us all in but we had a great time traveling with my parents and we were even lucky enough to have a few others join us at different times. Thanks again Dad and Mom and Amy and Troy for letting us all hoard in on your trip.



Here we are just about to leave the hotel...you can just see the anticipation!



Catching up on some current events while waiting for the shuttle. Too bad their patient didn't last much longer than this picture.



We made it!

Like I said, we benefited from A LOT of help!



A few loves for Troy while waiting in line.



My poor Dad had one of my kids on his shoulders at all times...sorry Dad. And I think Bridger had the other. Thanks guys!



Since we went during the holidays things were all decorated for Christmas. This place is always magical but it was even more so this time of year. Each night Sleeping Beauty's Castle turns into a Winter Wonderland. It was pretty spectacular, I'm not sure who was more in awe Madison or I.



Jackson enjoying some time with Gramps!



Madison and Savannah...it was perfect to have your own personal baby sitter with you at all times!



I think seeing the characters was their favorite part of the whole experience. It was so much fun having them old enough to be excited and to recognize all the characters and to watch their little faces lite up as they got lost in the magic of the moment!



Jackson was so excited he would not stop hugging Mickey's leg.



This was priceless. Anyone who knows Jackson is aware of his obsession with Lightening McQueen...the whole trip was worth this two minutes.



It was just to sunny to smile for another picture.



We even got to see Santa!





Small World...the family favorite. And yes I cried but for good reason...right Megan?
It was so great having all of us, well most all of us on the ride together! Good times.



Thanks again Mom and Dad for letting us go with you and for all your help it was SO much fun, we will treasure those memories forever.



Most of the kids!



What a great group!
