Disney in December

This year we started getting anxious to go to Disneyland again. I've always wanted to see it at Christmas time so we decided to take a quick trip at the beginning of December. We kept it a secret from the kids and told them after we were packed and ready to leave. I would have posted the video of us telling them but it is not very exciting. They thought we were just teasing them and did not have much of a reaction. They were excited and had fun later once we were in CA.

We of course went straight for Cars Land the first day since we had never seen it and had heard it was awesome.  It did look really cool, the racers ride was broken the first day we were there but Michael ran ahead on our second day and scored some fast passes!  The boys actually got to ride twice since we did a parent swap too. 

 

Avery had fun once she got used to the rides, waiting in lines though was definitely not easy with her.

 

 

Ethan wasn't as excited this time for big roller coasters but we still made him go on them : )

 

Avery loved the Little Mermaid ride and we went on it several times.

 

 

The boys wanted to go on the big Mickey Ferris Wheel, so we did and we went in one of the rocking carriages.  Afterwards though we paid the price and Dad was so sick he had to go back to the hotel for the rest of the evening.  The boys and I stayed to watch the World of Color show which was amazing!

 

The next day we went to Disneyland, and loved all of the Christmas lights and fake snow everywhere.

 

Avery got some Minnie ears but only kept them on for a few seconds.

 

 

 

Ethan and Josh rode a lot of rides including Space Mountain 3 times!

 

 

Our last day at the parks we rode everyone's favorite rides one more time and stopped to see Santa.

 

 

 

On our way out we got lolly pops for the kids.  We had a good time, Disneyland is always fun and always exhausting.
