California pt 2!


We got to the hotel Sunday evening and walked over to Downtown Disney for some dinner and shopping! 



At least at was the plan... SOMEONE decided to throw the biggest fit ever! Briella screamed and shrieked from the shop all the way back to our hotel and into our room. So much for a fun dinner. 

Daddy and Gracie ended up going to get pizza while I bathed my hysterical napless 2 year old! sigh...
Thankfully she woke up super happy! We were all so excited as we skipped er.. walked to DISNEYLAND!!!! 







We were so lucky that Aunt Elyse was able to take work off and join us for the day!!! It was so fun having her with us!!



After the parade Briella was starting to get well... overtired again :) We walked over to get some dinner and she fell asleep. We all ate our clam choweder bread bowls (YUM) and then David walked Briella back to the room while Elyse, Gracie and I stayed to watch the amazing fireworks show! 

One of the best productions I have ever seen... I totally got teary eyed too.. something about Chirstmas carols and family and blessings... this is such a precious holiday season and gets me every year! 

We walked a VERY tired Gracie back to the hotel and said goodbye to Aunt Elyse! 
One of the best days!! The park was super empty and we never waited very long for the rides. It was a great day and I am so graetful for the memories we made!

California!!! pt.1



I know we are super late on this post... but I can't pass it up! We went on a family vacation to California to visit family and take the girls to Disneyland! 

Day 1: BLACK FRIDAY
 After staying up almost all night doing some Black Friday shopping with my sisters while the grandkids all slept at my parents house we got a few winks of sleep and then we headed home to David. By 10am we were on the road! 


Day 2: Saturday 
We had all the family over for a wonderful Thanksgiving meal! 

Reading outside with Grandma!

Our fun festive Thanksgiving table! We ended the night with some caroling to the neighbors. The girls thought it was so fun to go sing at people's houses! 

Day 3: Sunday


David's aunt and uncle took the girls for the afternoon so David and I could go on a "day date" to the three story Target and get some Starbucks! We had a wonderful time visiting then we packed up the car and drove to Anaheim. Thank you to Aunt Elyse and Uncle Jeff for always letting us stay and for loving on our munckins!!
