The Girls First Time to Disneyland

Over Thanksgiving break, we decided (well I pleaded and begged Cason) to take the girls to Disneyland.  While Millie and Ivy are still free, it couldn't be a more perfect situation, right?! Ha!  We went with Cason's sisters and a few of Millie and Ivy's cousins.  



Good morning!!


We started the morning off with delicious donuts and a ride or two or three or five million on the carousel.  Lets just say, we shouldn't have booked it to the carousel first.  ugh!  Millie is obsessed!!!!!  We pried her hands off the carousel and took her to dumbo.  She cried the whole time because she wanted to go ride the horsey...So back to the carousel we went.  We bribed her to try out some other fun rides.  She loved the teacups with Cason, and wanted to do it again again!  There was lunch, a few other rides, and naps in between.  







Ivy loved being on Cason's shoulders.  She patted his head, played with his hair and giggled.  


Next up...Minnies house.  I waited 45 minutes in line to see Minnie.  I love Minnie and Millie loves Minnie.  So I thought she'd love it!  Well...not exactly.
She loved to play in the play kitchen inside though!  She would've stayed there for hours if we let her.  Ivy wasn't sure about her.  She made a little pouty face at first, but then just stared at her.


"cheese!!"


Another ride on the carousel




Cason and I went on a few rides without the girls and had a great time!

We ended the night with the parade.  Mills and Ivers loved it!! They watched the whole thing from start to finish.  Lots of fun dancing, lights and characters.



And our last ride was Autopia.  Millie was in  h e a v e n ! ! !
She got to drive all by herself!!  Her dream come true.  Cason said it was hilarious.  She'd laugh so hard every jerk and crash.



We really did have a great time at Disneyland.  And would definitely go again!  There's something so magical about that place, especially at Christmas.

Newport Beach Boardwalk

While we were in California, we went to the Newport Beach boardwalk and rode bikes. 
When we lived in California, we would always take our visitors to rent bikes and ride them around Newport.  
It was fun to be the visitors this time. :)  

It was such a beautiful day!
Short sleeved shirts and shorts for some and no jackets.

Millie liked the ride, but got bored towards the end.
Don't you just love her in the helmet? 
I died when Cason put it on, and got plenty of pictures!

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2011

This year for Christmas we headed to the 73° weather in California.  It was nice to not have to wear coats outside to play and Cason enjoyed exercising everyday.   

Christmas Eve:
-traveled during the day (Millie was great!  Finally!)
-went to Cason's sister's house
-ate a yummy meal which included the traditional brisket
-Millie opened her jammies and was off to bed.  The three hour time change wore her out.
-The kids told the story of Christ's birth and we sang songs
-white elephant gifts...large underwear, booty pop, fart book, brussell sprouts...just to name a few.  Hilarious!
-then we were off to bed.






Christmas Day:
-opened presents 
It was so fun this year because I felt like Millie knew what was going on.  She would tear open those presents and was excited to see what was inside.  She loved helping Cason and me open our presents too.  Little did we know, the poor peanut had double ear infections.  (hence the red under her eyes)  But she was happy!
-went to church
-came home, hung out and then went to Cason's sister's house again for dinner.






     











We had a great Christmas enjoying family and reflecting on our Savior Jesus Christ.
