Catch Up

Here are a few post to catch up on us:

Last Day of Our Trip

We woke up bright and early to be to the PCH Grill Restaurant to go to Mickey's Surfs Up Breakfast!
I was thankful we got to do this one were we hadn't been able to meet Mickey while we were in the parks. The boys were so thrilled to see him and kept giving him high-fives 
 About Every 15 minutes they would invite the kids up to go dance with Mickey the first time Kyler was nervous to go up but the second time he was all for it! He didn't really dance at all, I think he was just excited to go see Mickey again.
We also got to see Pluto, Daisy, and Minnie again and we got to meet Stitch! 
 They boys loved seeing them all and we all really enjoyed the Breakfast Buffet. As you can see their shirts are covered in syrup. 

We then said bye to Mickey and headed on home. 
13 hours and a 55 degree drop in the temperature we were there! I again was thankful the boys were so good being in the car for that long. I don't think we had a single melt down the whole way home which was amazing to me! 

We are now just relaxing until JJ goes back to work this weekend. We really miss the warm weather and can't wait to go again!!

Last Day At Disneyland

We were suppose to start out the day by having a Character Breakfast but due to parking chaos we didn't get there in time, thankfully we were able to find a reservation for one the next morning.
I also didn't take many pictures this day either because it was crazy busy again and we were trying to get on as many rides as we could, and with inpatient children it was hard to get them to wait and take decent pictures.
We went down into Toon Town again and rode a few rides there and stopped to get some souvenirs, on our way out we got to meet Daisy Duck!
 We then walked down to Fantasyland to ride rides, Kyler saw the Sword in the Stone and ran right over to try and pull it out...
 even with Daddy's help it wouldn't come out.
We then made our way through more of the lands there and while we were riding Pirates Xander fell asleep! 
 When we were ready to go we decided to stop at the Candy Store to grab some goodies to take with us. Kyler found a Lightning Mcqueen cookie and was thrilled about it!
These were my treats I got! Aren't they so cute??
We then decided to go back to the Hotel it was hard to leave! Kyler on the way out yelled "Bye Bye Disneyland!" it was so cute. We were just happy to be able to get a little more Disney in the next day!

California Adventures

The second day we went to California Adventures and were very happy to see it wasn't as busy as Disneyland had been the day before. We were able to do alot more there then we had been able to the day before. 





 We had lunch that day at Ariel's Grotto! And got to meet a few of the princesses. Xander was more interested in eating than paying attention to taking pictures with them. We enjoyed getting to meet them all. Kyler was fondest of Audora which was weird to us at the time because he has never seen Sleeping Beauty, but talking to him later we found it was because he thought it was Rapunzel. He ran right upto her and gave her a hug it was so cute, i missed it with the camera though. We really enjoyed it, the food was so good! And we got to sit out on the water which was nice since it was so warm!
After lunch JJ surprised me with a Cara-catcher of the boys. I absolutely love it!! 
 After lunch we headed over to Cars Land. The boys were in heaven, and loved getting to meet alot of their favorite characters from the movie!
 After Cars Land it was time for the Parade!
 After the parade we hit a few of the shows there. We really enjoyed Aladdin, JJ said it was the highlight of his day besides the steak at the restaurant. We then rode some more rides 
until it was time for World of Color.
This was the only good picture I got of the show, we were in a weird spot and far back and where its all on water it was hard to get decent pictures. The show was really neat it featured Olaf from Frozen which the boys were thrilled with. 
After that we went on a few more rides and then headed back to the hotel since we were all exhausted!

Christmas Night

Christmas Night was so much fun for us! 
We first took the monorail out to DownTown Disney which the boys were fascinated with. We then made our way down to the Disneyland Hotel and got to eat at Goofy's Kitchen! We got to meet Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale, PeterPan, Minnie, Sleeping Beauty, Mulan, and Baloo,Rafiki, and Max but we didn't get pictures with them. The boys were in absolute heaven getting to meet so many characters and JJ was over the food! It was such a neat experience getting to eat dinner there and see how the boys' faces would light up every time a new character would come by. It made Christmas all that much more magical.
After dinner we rushed to get on the monorail again and back into Disneyland. We got to see the Fantasmic Show, we were fortunate enough to have the premium seating for it which was great. 
With that we got some yummy treats!
The show itself was amazing! We all really enjoyed it! I didn't take as many photos as I would have liked to but I was busy watching the show.

 After the show we were hoping to see the fireworks but they had a wind advisory so they couldn't do them.
Xander had fallen asleep during the show so we headed back to the hotel, but not before snapping a picture of the castle all lit up!
