Our Family Trip to Disneyland for the Holidays

We had a magical time in Disneyland. Elias still says that Fantasmic is his favorite thing to do at Disney. It really is a great show with many special effects that can thrill all ages. Miss Eliana still loves space mountain as her favorite ride...but did put on her brave hat to try some new thrill rides with her daddy. The California screaming coaster was tons of fun they rode multipule times. While Eliana and Andy where off doing the more exciting rides me and Elias saw the sites and took lots of pictures. I felt the need to explain why Elias is in so many more photos than anyone else. The weather was great and we very much enjoyed being able to walk to and from the park. With going to both Disney World and Disneyland in the same year we consider ourselves to be pretty spolied. However our family has decided that even though the cost is much higher....Disney World just has way more to offer than Disneyland.So we will just be doing Disney world for our family trips to Disney. I took over 300 pictures and spent around 2-3 hours to edit the photos of ourtrip. I felt it would be much easier for us to show the great fun we had with a slide show. I did however decide to post my favorite pictures.

Fear Factor Birthday Party

Well this weekend we had Miss Eliana's fear factor birthday to celebrate her turning 9. We had a blast grossing out the kids. There were two teams and we played around 8 really fun gross games. Andy had to join the boys team because they were one man short. I know he loved playing along...he is such a big kid. I had 2 teen age sisters just show up and offer to help me with anything I needed help with...I was thrilled. The weather was really nice and we just decorated up the garage. This was my 1st time to not have a really decorated up birthday party. Which was hard for me because I love to go all out with decorating. Saved me stress though...which was really cool because I have been tired lately. I must say my favorite was the sickening surprise at the very end. I took 2 diapers and melted tootsies rolls and chocolate pudding. The kids had to see who could lick the diaper the cleanest. We only had a few real gags...but no one threw up. Which thank God because I would most likely had ended up joining them. Well hope you can tell how much fun we had from the pictures. I hope to post some video as well.
