I am a little behind on blogging, but thought I would share some pics from our latest trip to Disneyland. The place was all decked out for the holidays. The girls got to meet Santa, numerous princesses, a christmas parade, and watch the fireworks. It was my first time at Disneyland during the holiday season, so it seemed like a whole new place. Even It's a Small World was completely different (as in...they play "Jingle Bells" instead of the other theme song, plus whole new decorations). The girls' highlights seemed to be the new parade, because it starts off with Giselle (the new Disney princess) in a carriage. Check out Holly's face when seeing her for the first time... And I could have jumped up and kissed Snow White during the parade, just look at this big smile and wave she did right to my girls. They were swooning! And, while the crowds were actually fairly manageable for the visit...Main Street was completely packed during the fireworks and snow show. That's right, Dinseyland pumps enough teeny tiny bubbles into the air from the top of Main Street that it looks like it is actually snowing. Of course, Anna is my little dare-devil. She loved the roller coasters best of all. We have a great shot of her on Space Mountain with her hands up from a previous visit, but this one below is from the Toon Town roller coaster. Holly likes to pretend she's a dare-devil on only one part of one ride; the last little tiny drop in Pirates of the Carribean. She puts her hands up and tells everyone around to do the same thing... But, in reality, she's a big chicken. For some odd reason, she agreed to go on Splash Mountain with me. I didn't know what to expect since it was my first time, too. I knew we'd made a mistake about halfway through the ride. Holly just started bawling. And then the last BIG drop came and her face looked like this...I've probably ruined her for life on this ride. Jason can't do the spinning rides, so the girls and I always do the tea cups together. They love to go fast, but I think my days are numbered on that ride. It gets harder and harder to keep lunch down. I think every kid who grew up in California has a photo of themselves sitting in this car out in front of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride (or as Holly calls it "Mr. Potato Head") And some random last photos...
