Christmas 2009

I know Christmas was weeks ago but I wanted to share what our holidays were like.

We spent Christmas Eve in Logandale with Quincy's family. We enjoyed yummy food and great entertainment. Lucy helped out with the nativty story. She was a very cute Baby Jesus.

Jensen and cousin Kyler showed off by doing the 'Trick' side by side. They still got it!

We drove home Christmas Eve which made it our first Christmas at home since we have been married. It was weird for me not to be in Utah {it was my first away from home}. Jensen was funny Christmas morning. He had no idea that Santa had brought him new toys. He wanted to play with his old blocks. We finally had to divert his attention to his new toys. He wasn't too sure about the Dyson that was under the Christmas tree.

But once he saw it worked {by that I mean little beads rotate} just like Mommy's, he has vaccumed everyday!

He did stop to read a story to his little sis. He is working on being a good bigger brother.

He wasn't too sure of this toy either!

Lucy couldn't handle all the excitement!

After opening our presents it was a mad dash to get ready for DISNEYLAND. Quincy's parents decided to take the whole family and by whole I mean 40 of us. I am so glad that they did this! I don't know when I would have talked Quincy into taking us. We spent the rest of Christmas day driving and hanging out at the hotel getting pumped up for DISNEYLAND!

On the way down Jensen feel asleep eating his french fries.

Famous shot to prove that we had made it to the happiest place on earth.

Lucy got the memo.

Jensen not so much! This was pretty much his reaction to most of the rides.

He got better as the day went on.

We spent the morning in Disneyland then headed over to California Theme park for the afternoon. Quincy had never been here before. We enjoyed the big rides and the kid rides especially the new Toy Story ride.

Jensen loved the Bug's Life area.

Both parks were decorated for Christmas. It was a special time of the year to be there.

Loved the stylish 3D glasses.

Lucy even got a pair.

Both kids took a much needed nap but it happened to be during the Pixar Parade,

which was too bad because it was a good one.

We headed back to Disneyland to see the Christmas parade. It was madness!

This was supposed to be a great family picture with the castle in the background.

You know, postcard worthy. Not so much huh.

The castle was really pretty.

Jensen trying to watch the parade about ten people deep where we stood.

8:30 p.m. I think this says it all.

I couldn't talk any of my family into anymore so we headed back to the hotel.

We had a fun and memorable day in Disneyland and California theme park.

Thanks Sharon and Jerry for the wonderful Christmas present!
