DISNEYLAND

We ended 2018 at Disneyland!  We arrived in Anaheim December 30th and started our adventure in Downtown Disney.  It was decorated nicely for Christmas.

The kids were so excited!

We stopped in at the Lego shop.

Marcus loved this!

The tree was beautiful!  So Festive!

The kids all bought hats.  Olivia also bought Minnie earrings and Emma bought a t-shirt.  Then off to our hotel to get some sleep...Disneyland here we come!

We woke up bright and early, caught the shuttle and made it in time for Disneyland to open.

We went during the busiest day of the year.  Our first ride was Indian Jones.

Everyone LOVED Indian Jones...it was one of our favorites.

All of the rides were really good.

The girls had a goal of taking a selfie with Sleeping Beauty's castle behind them...pretty cute!

It was a beautiful day!

They had professional photographers taking pictures too.

This was taken by another tourist...my favorite photo of the day.

We went on Splash Mountain at the end of the day.  We tried to stay dry...it wasn't so bad.  

We ran into another professional photographer at the end of the night.  She was nice enough to think of taking a photo of just the parents.

And then the kids...

Lastly the family...I think the kids are getting too tall for me to stand behind them, haha...Overall it was an amazing day...fun was had by all!  

Happy New Year Everyone!

Christmas 2018

We got to Bonner's Ferry and there was no snow!  Then we went to bed and woke up the next morning to SNOW!  Emma immediately wanted to go play...all ready!

Twins love snow!

Marcus, Olivia, Emma and Gia were the first to play in the snow.

Gia and Grami prepared some frozen water balloons ahead of time; Emma helped take the balloons off to reveal the cool colored frozen water balls.

Sledding was the best!  Olivia had so much fun!

Go Marcus go!

It was pretty tiring to sled.  Emma and Daddy relaxed the rest of the day.

Christmas Eve started with a great breakfast.

Followed by more sledding.  The Sheets family brought more cool sleds.

Olivia, Elle, Gia and Baylor had a great time.

Sophie and Emma had great tubes!

Quick cousin photo...Olivia, Elle, Gia, Baylor, Marcus, Sophie, Ceci and Emma.

Poppi hooked up the sled to the tractor...fun!

The parents watched from the warmth of the fire.

The kids love the hill at Grami and Poppi's house.

Snowball fight!

Marc got into the action too.

Baylor against Marc!

Ceci and Marcus took another ride behind Poppi's tractor.

Wes showed the kids a jump!  

Whoa!

Crash!

The smiles say it all!

Olivia wants to go again!

Here comes Sophie!

That looks fun!

Down goes Emma.

Emma got some air!

Wow!

She loved it!

More air from Emma!

Lots of air from Sophie!

Emma and Sophie had the best tubes for sure!

The kids all built gingerbread houses and the adults voted for the winner.

Emma's won!

Emma's even said "joy" on back...Nice job Emma...congratulations on the win!

The night ended with the traditional cousin Christmas PJ photo.

My three gun slingers.

Merry Christmas!

Sophie, Ceci and Gia went home and the rest of the cousins got milk and cookies ready for Santa.  Then off to bed!

The kids were up early but had to wait for the adults to wake...they captioned this photo "waiting patiently".  Marcus was back in bed at this point.

Time to finally see what Santa brought!  Marcus got a new hat...LA Rams; he got one for his birthday but lost it...Santa was nice enough to get him a new one.  Happy boy for sure!

Olivia had a special request for a new softball!

Emma got new softball socks!

Yes, that is one happy boy for sure!

Olivia designated this her pitching ball...she's showing me some pitching moves.

She approves!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
