A Magical Day....(more pix coming)


Yesterday (12/10) Cali, Chloe, Mom, Karen (my MIL), and I got to go to the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, for a special screening of "The Princess and the Frog". This was Cali's 8th Birthday Celebration! AND it was cooler than I thought it was going to be! From the moment we drove onto the lot, we knew it was going to be special. After parking, going through security, getting frisked, picking up our tickets, having our cameras taken away, we made our way into the screening room for the movie. It was adorable! Classic Disney! I highly recommend the movie. It has a great story and the animation and music is beautiful!
Once the movie was over, we headed into Stage 3 for the "Ultimate Disney Experience". The place was split up into 6 different areas! They had a game area, cupcake area (delicious!), a pavilion where ALL the princesses were hanging out for photo opps, a craft area, a drawing area, and a photo/merchandise section. There was so much to do!
Then to top it off, and I didn't even know this was included, we got to go on a Studio Tour! It was so cool to walk around the lot and see all the buildings, stages, and memorabilia. We also got this cool picture for free with mardi gras beads and a collectors lithograph. This truly was a special day! I think the adults had just as much fun (if not more) than the little girls!

We had such a great day! It was FREEZING and no one was there! We got to see and ride everything Cali wanted. And I got to ride some rides I hadn't been on for like 10 years! I love Disneyland at Christmastime. It's so pretty!

The Vista Christmas Parade!






We went to our first Vista Christmas Parade today! I hadn't been to one of those since I was in Middle School. It was really fun! The best part was that Cali, Chloe, and Sarah got to clog in the parade! YAY!

The final touch...






Jeremy loves Christmas decorations, but does not like putting up the lights on the house! He hates the extension ladder! But he braved it and did a wonderful job! Bring on Christmas!

FHE-Decorating for Christmas






We spent our FHE this week, getting the house ready for Christmas. We got all the decorations up inside, except for the tree. But the kids got to do their tree. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."
