One last time...

 It's been another wonderful year of annual passes at the Happiest Place on Earth.  After we recovered from the New Year, we spent our last day of Winter Break at Disneyland.  We didn't ride alot of rides.  But, we enjoyed seeing all the Holiday decorations, spending our Christmas money on fun things and we even watched a parade!

  

 I love watching "The Team" hang out and have so much fun together.  I will miss coming here as often as we have.  I'm pretty sure its the last time we will do AP.  They are just getting too expensive...

But never say never....Star Wars Land is coming!

Happy New Year Birthday Partay!

 This year, I was just not on top of things when it came to Cali having a birthday party.  But we got a great idea from her allergy doctor...a New Years Birthday party!  So, she made some cute invitations and invited all of her friends.  At first, only 1 friend said they could come.  She was kind of bummed.  But as the days got closer, 4 more RSVP'd and we got to throw her the best, most fun party ever!!!!

 Her only request, was a bounce house...

 And they loved it!

 We got to have pizza for dinner...

 And they played games...

 She got some very thoughtful and fun gifts...

 And I made her favorite caramel brownies...

 They all got their pj's on after the brownies and we all lounged on the couch and watched "Cindrella".  The movie ended 5 minutes before midnight.  So we busted out the glow sticks, party hats and noise makers and counted down, as we watched the ball drop at midnight.  Then they all went crazy...

 Happy New Year!!!!

 We got in a midnight kiss and a pic to celebrate getting engaged 20 YEARS AGO!

 Happy New Year to  these cuties and Happy Birthday Cali!

 We even "Scrumped" the New Year with some Martinelli's...

 And then went outside for a silly string battle-

 We got all the kids settled in their sleeping areas, then Jer and I headed to bed at 2:00 AM.  I have no idea how late the girls were up.  The boys all went to bed when we did.  But around 9:00 AM, New Years Day, we heard commotion downstairs.  Gavin and Ramos were torturing the girls with their music and YouTube videos.  Jeremy went and got doughnuts and I made smoothies.  We just spent the morning laying around and getting some more jump time in on the bounce house.

Cali had so much fun and loved her party!  We all had a great time!  It was a great way to celebrate her birthday and the New Year!

Hello 2016...

HALLELUJAH!!!!

 On Tuesday, we went to the allergist to get the results of Cali's allergy tests.  She is NOT allergic to tomatoes!!!!  We still have no idea what caused her to have the reactions she did, but she is just so excited that she gets to have tomatoes back in her life!

So, to celebrate, we came home and made salsa, of course...

All is right with the world!
