The Happiest Place on Earth!

We celebrated Christmas a bit early this year - we went on a little family excursion to Disneyland!  Can I just say, I never get tired of that place!  Sadly, Kolby was right in the middle of finals and did not get to go (frown).  But we went ahead and had a ball, just the same!

June barely reached the magical height of 40 inches this year, and got to go on almost every ride!  We were a bit worried about Winn, who nearly had a melt down in the hotel elevator (weak stomach) but I have to admit, she did really well!  Her favorite ride was dumbo and she realized her childhood dream of seeing Wall-E!  Life is good!

We are so lucky to have such a great family who not only footed the bill for this trip, but also spent their Disney days helping me with the girls!  Thanks Auds and Jimbo for the sweet hotel, Thanks mom and dad for our tickets, and thanks U.B. and Karen for the ride and our special dinner at Ariel's Grotto - it was totally magical!  

I think Winn and Uncle Buck had some good bonding time on this trip!  

The ears really suit Winnie!

Winn's big moment - Wall-E!

A quick dip in the hot tub before another day of adventures!

June was so brave, she started out on Thunder Mountain Railroad, and never looked back.  It's a good thing Papa Lee was there to be her riding buddy! 

There's nothing like doing Disney with the Kesters!  Auds and Jimbo turn into the biggest kids!

We were sad to see our vacation come to an end!

I love Disneyland too! I always feel like a kid again when I'm there. We live 45 minutes away from there. One year we had season passes and it was so fun to be able to go whenever we wanted to! Good times!

Oh I think you forgot to mention the best part of your trip--seeing us!?! Seriously though it was good to see you and your cute fam--even if they were asleep.

I think that picture of Winnie in the ears might be the cutest thing I've ever seen. If we can get the Tukkster off oxygen we should all try to go again next year.

Looks like a fun vacation. To bad Kolby wasn't able to go with you guys. At least you had your family with you to help that always makes it worth it.
Hope you guys have a good Christmas..
