Christmas 2010

This year for Christmas we traveled to California to visit all our family out on the west coast. We were able to take the kids to Disneyland for their first time. They had so much fun, and are still talking about it weeks/months later.

Avery loved riding all the rides she could, but particularly remembers meeting all her favorite princesses, and Tinkerbell and friends. She says her favorite ride at Disneyland is the roller coaster in Toon Town. It's really the only one that she could ride besides all the "little" rides. She even put her hands way up in the air like all the "big kids" do.

Ethan loved riding all the BIG rides. He even rode the Tower of Terror, which is by far the scariest ride. He said that he liked the Tower of Terror except for when his "stomach sucked itself". He has the best way of describing things because, that's exactly what it feels like when your stomach "drops". He LOVES roller coasters! Another one of his favorite things was when he was chosen to participate in Jedi Training, he even got to fight Darth Vader.

Tyler, being 11 months old was pretty overwhelmed by everything. He was a perfect little baby though, and so easy going. He learned a new phrase "What's dat?" (while pointing the cutest little chubby finger at everything). That's all he would say. He LOVED meeting Mickey Mouse, and giggled with delight when Mickey bumped him with his nose. I thought he'd be scared, but he just thought Mickey was the funniest thing he'd ever seen.

I can't wait to take them back, we plan on going again the next time we are in Cali (probably the year after next).
