What a trip! We spent 2 wonderful fun-filled days in Disneyland and had a great time riding the rides, eating turkey drumsticks and chocolate covered bananas, getting our pictures taken with the characters and watching the terrific shows. This year was special because Coleman is finally tall enough to ride almost everything - and he did! He is a great "rider" and only got sad when he wasn't tall enough to ride something. (The only two he's not tall enough for are "Screamin" and "Indiana Jones")You might notice that I said "2 fun-filled days" and not 3. How odd...we had 3 day park hopper passes! We spent the 3rd day in our hotel room with THE WORST FLU BUG EVER! Christmas day it hit - Jeff woke up with his stomach kind of queasy and not feeling up to par. We headed to the park and our first stop was...you guessed it...the restroom! It was downhill from there. We rode "It's a Small World" and then Jeff and Lexi headed back to the hotel. (Lexi wanted to go so that her dad wouldn't be lonely) I stayed with Brad, Rylee, Kamryn and Coleman so that we could buy some souveniers and use Kamryn's gift card for Build a Bear that she got from Santa. By noon I was headed back to the hotel to check on Jeff and start the laundry so that we could be ready to drive away the next morning. Well, things only got worse. By 9 p.m. it hit Brad and Rylee and then at 4 a.m. it was Colemans turn. At 5 a.m. I decided it was probably best to get on the road so we woke everyone up and loaded up the car...but not before Lexi had her turn. Before we hit the freeway, Brad & Coleman threw up in Macey's bags so we stopped to get cleaned up and then we were on our way...again. To make a long story short, we are home and feeling better and we are so grateful for the Macey's bags!
Christmas in Disneyland really was great ~ the illness only added to the "unforgettable trip"!
We met up with Deanne and Darin's family on Saturday and it was so much fun to be able to ride some of the rides with them! Also...a big shout out to Olivia who rode "screamin'" even though she was extrememly nervous and scared to death! GO LIV...You rock! Here are some of the pictures we took with cousins
We hope you had a very Merry Christmas - we sure did!

I'm still feeling guilty that we somehow missed this bug. (Guilty and grateful.) I laughed outloud at the picture of the boys by the water! Such a fun fun time. Thanks for being Olivia's coach through Screamin'. She's a regular pro thanks to you!
I'm still soooo jealous. I have many-a-year before our kids are old enough for Disney World. Some day, some day.
