Disneyland, AGAIN!!

I know that we are a little crazy, but we have been to Disneyland 5 times this year. We have season passes so it makes it a little more affordable and we should get our money's worth, right?!? I think we won't be going again for a while. It was waaaayy too crowded. Now we know

not to go right before Christmas. We still had fun though. Except for the day that E was throwing up. Good learning experience :)

B and E with their cousin A eating popsicles while we were waiting for the bigger kids to finish going on a ride.

B and E with Jessie in California Adventure. They love to see Disney characters!

B and E and all their cousins who were with us in Disneyland getting their picture taken with Minnie and Mickey. We got to go to a private party there just because they invited M in and we all followed. It was kind of cool! We got free food and drinks and pictures with lots of characters.

Santa was in California Adventure for all the kids to see him. They told them what they wanted for Christmas. It was their first time sitting on Santa's lap this year.

Christmas pictures

Here is a recap of our Christmas in a few pictures:

This is how E ended her Christmas day. She fell asleep at 5:30 PM! Too much excitement, I guess.

Nothing like the excitement of a child, huh? This was their reaction to getting a gumball machine. Thanks Heidi's kids!

Here they are in their cute matching PJ's. They are holding Christmas books because one of our traditions it to wrap up lots of Christmas books and after Thanksgiving letting the kids each take turns unwrapping the book to read each night.

Here are the kids with some of their cousins acting out the Nativity. E was Mary this year and B was the inn keeper. You can't really see his face, though.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

New Family Pictures

I have been trying to post these for over a week! I have had problems uploading the pictures through blogger, so sorry those few of you who read this. We just got family pictures done and they were so dang cute!!!

Handsome B. He is 5 1/2. Doesn't he look so big?!? Is he that big?!?

The epitome of "saying cheese", E is 3 and fully potty trained!! Yay!! Don't you love her curls? Au natural.

Our sweet family. This is the one where we all look at least OK. Some of the others are just plain funny because of all the faces that we're pulling as we try to look natural.
