Disneyland
We just returned from spending 7 days...yes, that's correct, 7 days at the Happiest Place on Earth. We had such a great time. At one point on our trip we had a group of 19...how is that for fun??? My two sisters, 2 of Kyle's brothers and their families joined us for an awesome Disney adventure. Kyle's Uncle Brandon even joined us for a day. Here are a few of my most memorable highlights:
* watching Krissy rip off her sweater so she could show Alice in Wonderland her matching dress as Alice passed by in the parade.
* going on Splash Mountain for the first time with Krissy, she ran off and said, "That was AWESOME!"
* watching Kyle take Krissy on Space Mountain for the first time. I thought she would hate it, but turns out I was so wrong. She couldn't get enough of any of the 'mountains'!
* Watching Kendall spin her guts out on the teacups, loving every minute of it!
* Helping Tiff try to locate her missing blood sugar monitor and insulin. After a quick prayer, we searched through the new Toy Story ride. Feeling like we had exhausted all options we turned to walk away, only to have a cast member chase after us with it, saying a guest had just turned it in. Aaahh. Thank goodness for truly magical moments.
* On our last night there Kyle took our exhausted girls back to the hotel and put them to bed, while Tiff and I ran around the park feeling like kids again. I literally felt like a kid in a candy store as I circled the glass counter trying to decide which treat to enjoy...I picked the chocolate dipped caramel marshmallow. It just may be my new tradition on the way out.
* Mike and Hollie left a few days before we did. After we said goodbye and turned to walk away I had tears swell up in my eyes. Somehow it is never long enough.
* Spending time with Cam, Shaunee, Shane, Kristy and their kiddos and having Tiff's extra set of hands to help us all! Let's do it again, really soon!

You are right-it's never long enough! We shouldn't have come before you...or just stayed longer! You guys are the so fun to travel with. Really do anything with-we just love every second we get to be with you all! Here's to saving more pennies!
Holy cow! That looked like so much fun. I love that you take so many pictures so that we can live vicariously through them. I Wish that I could have been there with you, but I am glad that you all got to have so much time, and relax and let loose a bit!!! Being a kid again truly is great.
7 days!!! My kids are drooling...
That looked like an awesome trip! Loving your cute headbands too!
I've been so excited to see the pics. Looks like the girls and you and so much fun! I love the pic of Kendall on the tea cups.
I wish we could have been there! It looks like you all had a great time. We missed you!
Looks like Disneyland didn't disappoint! It never does! You've got me wishing that January will come faster so we can go again too! Glad you are back though and we look forward to our next get together.
It really was so much fun...I'm already ready to go back. Next time just leave me there!!! I'm so glad we finally got to go on vacation with you and Cam's families it truly was over due!!! Where are we off to next? My bags are packed and ready!!!
I love the pictures -- almost as good as being there myself. Don't ever go to Disneyland without me again!

Wow you really captured it all! I loved the pictures - what a cute family. I love Disneyland, it's such a magical place. Looks like you guys really had a great time!
What a great trip!
Those pics of Kendall with her dad on the teacups are priceless.
That was a great trip! I'm totally up for doing it again and sooner than later. You forgot to put in your highlights how we nearly walked our feet raw trying to get to Outback! Thanks for the great pictures and great company!
Your girls are at such perfect ages for such a memorable trip like this. I loved all your pictures, especially the ones of your new "poser!"--how fun! I also loved seeing your girls in their princess dresses and you in your cute headbands. I'm so glad you could do this, but we sure missed having you around for a whole week!
It looks like you had a great time! You really take the best pictures!
