THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

DISNEYLAND!

Last week our family went to Disneyland with the Petersons (Melissa's sister). We spent 3 fun filled days in Disneyland and California Adventure. It was so much fun. It was the first time for Drew and the kids, which made it even more exciting.

The castle was already decorated for Christmas. Cole loved the Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story rides. They're interactive... playing video games while you ride. The best of both worlds.




I took this picture of Mia and Brock on the Matterhorn. Reagan's in there too. You just can't see her. I just aimed my camera backwards while we were going down the ride and this is the shot I got. Mia Loved the Matterhorn. She rode it at least 4 times. I loved it too. Unfortunately I lost my cell phone on one of the many trips down the Matterhorn.





The kids loved Disneyland the best. The Tower of Terror ride at California Adventure totally freaked out Mia and Cole. Cole kept saying he didn't want to ride on "Hollywood Video" ever again. I don't know how he got "Hollywood Video" out of Tower of Terror, but we just thought it was the funniest thing and never corrected him.
The weather was great, there were no lines at all, and the Christmas decorations and music put a smile on my face. I didn't want to come home. Mia even cried when it was closing time on the last day. Hopefully we can go back again soon.

We finally got rain for the third time since we've moved here. The kids were beyond thrilled and immediately dressing in their rain gear to enjoy the weather in style.

Mia had some trouble keeping her umbrella from flipping inside out.


Cousin Austin was here for a visit. He and Cole are the best of buds.
