Christmas Success!

Merry Christmas!

Our Christmas Celebration started with a trip to Temple Square, to see the lights, on Christmas Eve.  It was fun to see the beautiful lights and then come home, read the Christmas story and go to bed.  Shayla was serious about going to sleep.  When we remembered, five minutes after we put her in bed, that we hadn't taken her potty, we went in and she was almost asleep already.  She went potty quickly then stated that she had to hurry and get to sleep so Santa can come.

Santa did come and we had a great Christmas this year.  The girls were good enough for Santa  leave them a dollhouse to share, equipped with dolls.  The girls were thrilled!

They even got berets from Grandma and Grandpa in France!  They are so styling!

I think Shayla looks just like a French girls with her dark pretty hair.

Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa!  We love them!

After being snowed in, we enjoyed a quiet Christmas afternoon with Grandma and Papa(who  were snowed in with us after Christmas brunch) reading and playing.

  What a great Christmas this year!  We hope yours was great too.

Magical Time of year!

It truly is a magical time of year to go to Disneyland!  Nothing like leaving snow storms and heading to 75 degree weather.  We had so much fun, going with Jennie and Phil.  Shayla thinks that we should always go with cousins or friends.  So the invitation is open.  The only catch, you pay your own way.  

Does it get more magical than this?

The family picture!  They sure have grown since the first time we stood in front of the castle. (So have I)

Our first ride is always Dumbo.

Just hanging out with Dad! (Ben is squished in between them you just can't see him)

You have to go on the tea cups, whether or not you get sick.

Cambree loved waiting in line.  I think she liked not being strapped in a stroller or a ride.

Cambree couldn't wait to see Minnie...from far away.

Mickey was no better, but we did give him high fives.

Here's the gang!  They look like they enjoyed waiting for over an hour for the parade! (we didn't)

Everyone having fun!

One last pose.

Cousins are the best!

Back to reality!  Glad the girls were willing to carry their fair share of the load!
