This year we decided to enjoy Christmas at Disneyland. The decorations were beautiful. Main Street was lined with lights every where and the tallest tree I've ever seen. Several times throughout the night it snowed. The kids loved the fake snow. "K" tried to eat it and catch it with her tongue, to be surprised that it tasted like soap. Sleeping Beauties Castle looked like an ice castle. "K" loved the castle and "A" love the ride Thunder Mountain.
Sorry, my camera broke so I don't have any pictures of the decorations.My niece, or as I call her my 4th child, joined us. The kids did well on the 5 1/2 hr drive. The dual DVD system we got for Christmas helped a lot. My cousin Charity and her girls met us there. It had been several months since the cousins had all been together, yet it's like no time has past. I am so glad they are so in close in age and grow up together.
The first day , Christmas day, we arrived later in the afternoon and were surprised to be able to visit California Adventures and Disneyland for the price of one park. They were diverting people to the other park, due to the mass crowds. So we got to enjoy both parks as long as we didn't come to the Disneyland side until 6:30 pm. Little man did pretty well, but half way through the night, Mondo and the baby went back to the hotel.
The second day we were up bright and early and rode almost all the rides we wanted to, including Thunder Mountain 3 times. We decided not to do Space Mountain this time, "A" is still getting over the trauma from 2 yrs ago when we put her on it.
Overall it was a great trip and we all had a blast. It truly is one of the happiest places on earth, though Mondo might disagree. He's not a fan of crowds and there were plenty of them.We hope everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
