Disney Land Day 2

 We headed back to Disney land on Tuesday morning to ride some of the rides we missed on Monday.  We took a little ride on the Jungle Cruise.

 Had fun meeting Disney Characters!

 Later in the Afternoon we headed over to California adventure to check out the kiddy rides.

 That night we watched the fireworks at Disney land--they were set to Christmas music and were amazing!  The kids were exhausted though because of the late night on Monday.  Karson climbed in the back of the stroller and slept through the fireworks and all of the kids except Claire fell asleep on the walk back to the condo--thank goodness for awesome double strollers and strong daddy's!

Disney Land Day 1

Chad and Bonnie, my amazing in-laws,  took the family to Disney Land for Thanksgiving---it was sooooo fun!!!! I loved everything about it, and we made so many fun memories with our children that I will treasure!
Abby, Kiley, and I took the girls to a princess breakfast at Aerial's Grotto in California Adventure.  We ate a super yummy breakfast and got to meet Aerial, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle.  The Royal Page announced the princesses and then they toured around the room--it was every little girl's dream come true and the girls ate it up!


 Belle was our favorite!  She was sooo sweet with the girls.  Kate fell and bonked her head at one point and belle held and comforted her until she felt better--what better than to be comforted by a real princess!
 Kate and Cinderella--so fun.  One of the highlights was when all the girls got to spin with Cinderella!!! It was worth every penny and a memory my girls and I will treasure!
 The Teacups!!! Everyone loved them including Lia--even when Jason spun the tea cup as fast as he could!

 Karson and Kate on Indiana Jones--the first time they hated it!  The second they loved it--well Karson did I think it was because he actually opened his eyes--the first time he kept them closed the entire time--to funny!




A little Splash Mountain!!! This was a definite kid favorite!!!

That night after we went back to the condo and ate dinner.  Jason and I put the babies to bed and brought Karson and Kate back to the park.  We had so much fun with our older two--I think 5 and 8 are the perfect ages for Disney! .  Riding Soarin' and The tower of Terror in California Adventure and the Matterhorn in Disney Land.  The kids were rarin' to go until midnight and we let them stay!

Lia is 1!

 My baby turned 1 on November 1st!!! She is such a sweet thing and entertains us all.  The older kids love to play with her and make her laugh.  Some of my favorite things about Lia:
    *The way she says "Gooly Gooly Goo" when she is happy
    *Her sweet hugs and kisses
    *She is a mover and a shaker and can climb out of or into anything
    *Her chubby little thighs

Lia's one year stats--29 inches long and 19 lbs!
I am way behind blogging, but wanted to journal about our Halloween. The girls were witches and a little black cat, and Karson was a Lego. We had a great time partying at Grandma and Grandpa's on Sunday after church. On Halloween we carved pumpkins and then went Trick-or-treating to family members and our neighborhood.
