Disneyland Day 5

Carter so happy to be on his favorite ride again (Cristian being silly in the back ground)
Even the inside of the ride is all decorated for the Holidays


Just some cute Carter pictures :)

Ava's quite the roller coaster fan!
We went and had lunch with the Princesses :) Ariel recognized Ava
Another cute series of pics... Ava waiting for the rest of the Princesses to visit our table

So excited! Experiencing Disneyland through the eyes of your children is what it's all about!

We didn't take very many pictures after this because it started raining...
They canceled the parade and just had the characters drive around Main Street in this Trolley

Carter watched from his little rain proof hut while the other two were going on rides

Rain, rain, rain
Good thing rain doesn't bug us!

Every tree in Down Town Disney (and throughout the parks) was decorated with lights. It was so festive being at Disneyland during Christmas!

Disneyland Day 3

Cristian opted to go on rides while my mom and I (and Carter) stood in line to meet all the Princesses. If you don't get there right when it opens, the line can be over 3 hours long. As it was... we waited 45 minutes. But Ava loved it! I love this series of pictures of Ava talking w/Ariel.
Talking with Ariel
Cute little expression
Posing for a pic with Ariel

By the 3rd time, Ava was riding with her arms up in the air the whole ride :)

Dale came over and spent about 5 minutes interacting with Carter. Carter pointed out his nose, his eyes, and even shared his food with Dale. It was pretty cute :)
Cristian (with his new Prince Navine Frog) sleep walking back to the hotel :)
This is how Carter sleeps in a hotel bed... my pillow is on the right (by his head) and Kyle's in on the left, LOL. Crazy boy sleeper!!
