Disneyland Vacation 11/12-15

We had an amazing time at Disneyland with all the family (almost) and friends. We started out on Ella's birthday. It was so fun to have everyone together, i think we sang "Happy Birthday" 10x in the truck. Robin, Cole, Sue and Gale met up with us right when we got to the hotel. Which by the way loved the hotel, I miss the comfy bed and pillows (I never say that)They went to spend the day at the beach and we headed out to Downtown disney. Kids loved the lego store and the live music. It was great way to get ready for all the fun the next 2 days. We woke up really early (thank God for the coffee makers and good coffee in the room) and the whole gang walked to Disneyland. Thanks to a great tip we didn't have to pay for Noah to get in either park, for both days (saved $$$) Thanks Stephanie! As tradition we rode It's a small world first then, teacups, and dumbo. Had to get those outta the way first. Forgot to mention it was also the first day for Christmas at Disney so it was beautiful and got everyone in the spirit. Noah wasn't able to get on Splash Mountain the first day, but, we lucked out and got him on the next day. So glad, it was his favorite ride and highlight of the whole trip. We went to california adventures both days too. can't believe they got me to ride that roller coaster again. It was fun, but, LONG...Ella just loved everything. all the lights, she kept saying "Lights up". The parades were wonderful we were able to stay for fireworks and snow the last night we were there. It was magical and everything disneyland is supposed to be. It was by far the best trips to see all the smiles and giggles on my babies and all the grown ups too. I don't care how much it costs those memories we made are going to be in our hearts forever. It was a BLAST!!!
