DISNEY!

We had such a fun December this year. It started off great when we went to Disney with some family. We left early in the morning and didn't get home until around 2 AM.
Every time my sisters and I get together we end up having some of the same clothes. It happened again with Laurie, here we are in our matching shirts. PS, it was very early and I'm not a morning person, hence the tired look on my face, and the soldier stance.

The trolley ride on the way to the park





One tradition we have when we go to Disney is to get turkey legs. WE LOVE THEM and Emily kept asking for one so my sister finally got her one. Molly fell asleep while I was holding her in line for a ride, and stayed asleep the whole ride plus more! I couldn't believe it. She was sitting on my lap during the ride her body was like a limp noodle. I finally had put my arm around her head so she would stop falling forward. The picture below is of her just waking up, she was really out of it and was saying some of the funniest things. I kept taking pictures of her and she finally said in her cute eloquent, Darth Vader voiced Molly way, "Krithten, would you plese stop taking my pictore?" OH, my heart melt, she is so cute. This is on one of our favorite rides at California Adventure. We went on it about 8 times that day. (I was riding with my Dad during this picture) In line for our favorite ride. I don't know the real name of it but we called it the Toy Story ride. It's a 3D interactive ride and you play carnival games. Super fun. This is the ride Molly fell asleep on and I was trying to play while holding her up. It was difficult, and very funny.

Cute Molls
The gang. Heidi (far Left with green on) even wore the glasses for a while. She was a good sport.
The girls were so good all day! We had so much fun with them. We even got Emily to go on a roller coaster with us and she loved it! She was screaming (with delight) and held her arms up in the air the whole time. By the end of the day all the girls were so exhausted she fell asleep while Donavon carried her out. It was so cute! PS, yes they did wear their hats almost all day. What's Disney without them?My sister and I weren't tired so while everyone else left we went back to Disney (we were at California Adventure) and stayed until Midnight. Because there were parades and fireworks we walked right onto some of the rides! It was perfect, and we got to ride all the major rides one more time before we left. Here is the castle all decked out for Christmas. The last trolley ride back to the hotel was at Midnight and we missed it! So we ended up walking back to the hotel, and it was definately an adventure walking on the streets of Anaheim so late at night. That night we were staying in Newport and on the drive there we were so tired! But we got there safely and were geared up for Newport fun the next day.

Oh my gosh. Those are the most beautiful nieces I've ever seen. Your sister must be awfully gorgeous (and nice taste in Gap clothes) to have such lovely children. Thanks for posting these!
