Disneyland!










































































































































































































This is really the funniest picture! It was, of course, David's idea (get it? Pooh corner).


















I think the Toy Story Mania 3D ride might have been the general favorite.






































We loved the Christmas decorations everywhere- they were great!













Bug's Land was a big hit.




















































































The kids consulted their maps throughout the day.
































Trading pins!



















My boys LOVED all the villains!













































Waiting in one of MANY lines!

































Aw, what can I say about Disneyland and CA Adventure? It really is a magical place. We loved it! Everywhere you look it is just amazing. The kids LOVED it. Matt kind of sleep-walked through much of the first day (thank you dramamine) but he did get to go on some rides with the boys. I didn't get to go on anything big (I was pregnant at the time) but I got to takes little tykes on smaller rides while the big kids went on big rides a few times. Mostly we kept everyone together and I think that was my favorite part. Lines aren't usually my favorite, but it was lots of fun doing it together. It forced us all together in this little space so there was lots of talking and inventive entertaining of the kids. It really was just fantastic having the uncles, the grandparents, and the cousins all together- it really is hard to organize with everyone's busy schedules. We loved spending so much time with everyone. The kids loved seeing all the familiar Disney characters and of course they loved the rides! We all loved that Disneyland was transformed for Christmas, even some of the rides were different. So cool. Everyone went strong for 2 days and I felt like they could have gone more. I can't wait to do it again sometime. Anyone up for Florida when Matt graduates? :-)

Kyla - Oh goodness I miss you! Seeing you guys in AZ made me homesick. I am confused though, are you pregnant? You said you couldn't ride the rides, so I am confused. Shoot me an email with your new phone numbers so I can call you. Talk to you later!

Wow. Matthew never changes. He still looks the same just taller. :) Weird. But always cute I might add.
I'm also wondering if you are pregnant since you said you were pregnant at the time... Hope eveything is going well.

I was thinking the same as the others. If you are pregnant, Congratulations! The way you said it made it seem as though you "used to be" pregnant. I recently miscarried, so maybe I'm just paranoid?! I hope you are feeling well, whatever your condition. It sounds like y'all have been REALLY busy lately!

Hey- Sorry I haven't blogged in forever so I didn't realize there was a question about the blog! To answer the question I did miscarry the monday before Christmas. I was about 3 1/2 months but we knew something was wrong with the baby before so it wasn't a surprise when it happened. We will probably try again in a couple months. Right now I'm just enjoying not being pregnant! Thanks everyone for your support. It is just one of those things that lots of people go through. I hope you are all well!
