Disneyland Day 1

Our first stop was to see Tinkerbell and her friends. There was no wait! We just walked right in!!

Sorry...we just couldn't resist :)

Kaitlyn was SO excited to go on her favorite ride...the Teacups!! Steve & Kevin wanted nothing to do that, so it was the mom's with the kids getting dizzy!
I think Michael has a little crush on Snow White. When we told him we were leaving to go to Disneyland his first words were, "I wanna see Snow White"!! And we rode the Snow White ride more than any other ride (I think he went on it at least 5 times). He said he likes it because "it's scary".

The last time we went to Disneyland "It's A Small World" was being renovated. We got to go on it this time and it was the cutest ride ever! All the characters in the ride (and there are A LOT) had some sort of Christmas attire on, and then they had "It's a Small World" song AND "Jingle Bells" playing throughout the ride with a ton of Christmas decorations throughout the ride. You would have thought it was a Christmas ride all year long for the amount of work that went into it.
We met lots of characters and got lots of autographs...

We went to the Pixar Parade at California Adventure...

Michael wanted to sit next to his Dad on pretty much every ride...

Natalie came and met up with us in the afternoon after she got off work. She lives less than 30 minutes from Disneyland so she decided to come with us everyday! It was fun to have her there. The kids were really tired at night but we ended up being there until the fireworks show so we decided to stay. I'm so glad we did!! The Fireworks show was AMAZING! I read that they spend $19,000 dollars every show. It was all synchronized to Christmas music and the castle lighting up. They had the cutest song called "Can You Remember" and then it ended with "White Christmas" by Kellie Coffey. I can't figure out where to buy that song of hers, but if anyone can figure it out they will be my favorite person for life!!! I can't seem to find it anywhere (or at least anywhere that seems legit). You can listen to the song here: WHITE CHRISTMAS. It was so magical as White Christmas played and it snowed on Main Street!! There were SO many people and everyone just looked in awe...I think Kami, Natalie, Steve, and I were all were a little teary eyed.
