Disney Land Day 2 & California Adventure

Day 2 was our early admission morning. The Christmas theme is all over the park.

It's a small world

California Adventure

This was one of our favorite rides

We found Shane's favorite saying.

Disney Land Day 1

We made it! We are at the "happiest place on earth"! DISNEYLAND! We are ALL so excited. We are on the tram from the parking garage to DISNEYLAND!

Cassie, Bentlee and Chase

We had to ride and get our picture taken in the tea cups.

Bentlee's first ride was Pirates of the Caribbean.

The weather is perfect! And the park in PACKED!!!! I have never seen this many people in one place at one time.

Open Last

"OPEN LAST"

That's what the present said that had our Disneyland passes in.

How perfect!?! Our Christmas present to the kids was a family vacation.
We picked Disneyland!

The only one that didn't know was Carley. We had to tell Cassie and Chase so they could schedule it off of work. And Courtney found out because she over heard Shane and I talking about the hotel reservations.

We left in two cars by 6:00am Christmas morning and would not return until January 1st.

Our Christmas dinner was McDonald's. It was different! Not the traditional dinner we are use to. The most important part was that we was together as a whole family!

These pictures were taken by a very dear friend of ours, Amie Mathis. http://amathisphotography.blogspot.com
