I LoVe SaNta?!

This year we had a breakfast for our ward Christmas party. Dylan was still a little nervous to sit on Santa's lap. For some reason Dylan likes to mess with the settings on our camera which is why they are a little blurry. So after Dylan and Hayley sat on his lap I got them ready next to him just in case Katelyn didn't like him.

Of course she did NOT like him! It was instant crying. Chris was trying to fix the camera so she was tramatized for about 7 seconds. Poor Baby! This is us after she recovered. I don't think she loves Santa! (that's what her shirt said)

Beach Day

We walked down to the beach twice when we were in California. It was a little windy and about 60 degrees. So much warmer than the 8 degrees and snow at home.
It was a little chilly for Katelyn

Dylan still got soaked and had fun collecting shells

Uncle Bobby and the boys

Crazy Chris boogie boarding. Hayley even got in for a little bit

I got to visit with my old friend Heather from junior high and high school who I haven't seen in like 7 years! We had so much fun on this trip seeing friends and family. Makes me want to move somewhere warmer! But I am also glad to be home! Traveling with a baby is hard work!

Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving at a beachhouse in Huntington Beach that my parent's rented for the week. All of my siblings and their kids were able to be there. Since we will all be spending Christmas with our inlaws this year it was our early Christmas celebration. Lots of my family still lives in California. We had 27 people over for our Thanksgiving feast. It was lots of fun visiting, eating and playing games!

Disneyland Day 3

Our kids all got Mouse ears for their souvenier this time.
I let them pick out the ones that they wanted.

We watched the Christmas parade. Below Chip n Dale were pretty funny.

They totally peeled out in their little car!

Us on the Mark Twain Riverboat

The last thing we did was eat at the The Blue Bayou in Pirates and then went on Pirates on more time of course. By then we were exhausted as you can see Dylan below. He didn't even eat his dinner. What a fun time we had a Disneyland with so many wonderful memories! I think we will wait until we don't have a baby to go back next time!

Disneyland Day 2

We spent the second day in California Adventure.

We saw Handy Manny and Playhouse Disney live!

We met Mickey Mouse. Katelyn was loving him! She was grabbing his nose and making high pitched squeals. It was pretty funny!

I love their locked in jail faces
