Day one at Disneyland

In November our family went to Disneyland!! We went with Bryan's Parents and we had a blast!! The fist Day we spent the day in California Adventure!!! The Highlights of this day were Riding the new Cars ride. It was so much fun and the kids loved it!! I don't know if I would wait in a 2+ hour line to ride it but we had fast passes so we only waited like 25 minutes to ride it!! Another highlight was taking Maelie and Parker on Tower of Terror!! Parker got to go on it last time, but this was Maelie's first time!! I thought she would hate it, but to my surprise it was one of her favorite rides!! Maelie was a little to short to ride the big rides so we had bought her some cowboy boots to give her the extra height, well she was still a bit to small so we added bundled up sock in the heel and she was right on!! She got to ride all the fun rides!!! One time (Day 2) we went to take her on big thunder railroad and we forgot to put the socks in. The Lady was like she is a little short, but they will check her at the top and make the final decision. So I made Parker take his socks off and we stuck them in and at the top she was good to go. I know some people might think we are bad parents, but when she is only half an inch off and dying to ride, you do what you got to do!!! We Also loved soaring over California And Parker got to ride Grizzly Rapids for the first time and loved it!! He wanted to keep going!! After 2 times in a row we decided it was time to stop!!  And of Course we went on Woody's round up. For once in our life at Disneyland we got to ride Woody's round up 3 times in a row!!! It was AWESOME!! That night we decided to try something we have never done and take the kids to Goofy's Kitchen for dinner!! We loved it and highly recommend it. The food was good and they got to spend a lot of time with each character! We would definitely do it again!!  We ended the night watching our favorite show World of Color!! It is such an awesome show and if you haven't seen it, it is a must see!! We had a good first day and were so excited for the next!!!

Maelie's Christmas Dance recital!

Maelie had her Christmas recital in the studio this year. She did such a great job and I was so proud of her. She knows her dances so well and she loves to practice dancing. I love watching my little girl dance!!

Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween this year. Parker was Zorro, Maelie was super girl and Jentry was a little pink poodle. They were so cute. The weather was so nice!! Parker's school celebrated Halloween the Friday before since it was a short day. I had the opportunity to help with his class party. We did relay races with getting the spider in the can, eating a doughnut off a rope and throwing mini plastic  pumpkins. The kids loved it. On Halloween I got Parker out of school early and we headed to pick up my mom , who dressed up as Captain Jack. Jentry didn't like her at all. She screamed all the way to Grandma Jeri's work because she could see my mom the whole time and wasn't sure who the heck it was.  We surprised Grandma Jeri and Grandpa Kevin and they thought that was neat!! We then headed to Grandma Joyces!!She was so excited to see the kids too!! After that we headed to Daddy's work to trick or treat. Oh my goodness they got so much candy and we could have gone home and been content after that stop!! The kids were so excited when we got there because cousin Juliet was there to greet us!! The kids love going to Dads work!! After that we got in the car and headed to my sisters. We trick or treat at my sisters every year so the kids can go with their cousins. My brother met us there too and we had a blast together. You should see how much candy the kids got. We had candy coming out of our ears. But it was fun and the kids love it!!!
