What a way to end the year and start the next!

Grandma and Grandpa Miller got us a trip to Disneyland for Christmas. So, over the break we drove down and met Todd's family who flew down from Seattle. It was a marvelous time. It wasn't without hiccups- At some point I lost each of my kids and some of them several times. Seriously missing chunks of hair now, but all is good, they were quickly found each time and next time we will have to take more leashes. We were so lucky to stay at Kate's house on the way down and on the way back. It certainly made the ride do-able and it is always fun there. We missed Kate and Kevin and Becky at Disneyland, but the cousins sure had fun together.

We of course had to stop at the In-N-Out burger on our way down to California. Had to.

Here's the gang

Yea train ride!


I love the Christmas decorations at Disneyland. I love New Orleans square year round, but it is breathtaking to me with all the decorations. This picture just doesn't do it justice.

The castle is stunning with snow and ice lights.

And I love Jack Skellington, so of course the Haunted Mansion is a favorite at Christmas.

Bumblebees and sticky honey really sums up the kids during the trip. If you know what I mean.

And if you know us, you know that no trip to Disneyland is complete without a trip to the Tiki Room. (And if you don't know us, well then what are you waiting for? Introduce yourself!)

So of course everyone else was drug to the Tiki Room too.

AND, no Tiki Room trip is worth it's weight if it doesn't include Dole whip smoothies. Dole Pinapple juice with soft serve pineapple ice cream in it. mmmmmm
