Christmas Festivities

Oh hooray! Matt is done with his finals and we can really start enjoying all the fun holiday festivities around us! Last Saturday we went with some friends down to the Christmas lights boat parade in Marina Del Ray. It was chilly but we had so much fun!

Then Tuesday we hit up Disneyland! It is even more magical at Christmas! We got there a little before one in the afternoon and left a little after ten! Wow! It was a big day and Crew was awesome! He is getting more into the rides and the parades were a big hit! I am also convinced that Matt makes Disneyland more magical too! Crew loved having his dad there and whenever I asked him who he wanted to ride with him he never hesitated before responding "daddy!"

The poor kid didn't take a nap all day but as we were waiting for the parade to start about 6:15 he totally zonked! We let him sleep until the parade started so we was a little out of it at the beginning of the parade. He probably thought he was dreaming! But he was alert enough to shout out "Mickey Mouse" and all his other favorites as they came along.

If you ever get a chance to go to Disneyland around Christmas I totally encourage it! I especially love the castle and we had to stay until at least 9:30 so Crew could see his first fireworks show. He is still a little scared from the fire next door to my parents and got really nervous when he saw smoke. But we expalined it was safe and by the end of the show he wasn't saying "all done" anymore! He was a trooper and we had a really great day! This really is the happiest place on earth!
