December was a whirlwind of fun and family and amusement parks!
The Saturday before Christmas we went to Disneyland with an old friend of mine and his family. It was a lot of fun to go again, and we will definitely be making good use of our season passes by going over and over and over again!
Then there was a quiet Christmas at home with my sister, Lori, and the three of us. I had no idea how stressful it would be having Christmas at my place with all the "santa" preparations (aka stockings, MOM how did you do that?? for 8 people!!(I say 8 because I'm pretty sure she did her own too)) and then stressing about the clean up and then dinner. We invited our old neighbor who's husband is a firefighter and had to work, she and her 11 month old cutie pie joined us for crazy delicious ham w/ham sauce and other stuff.
On the 26th we went to Sea World to use up the last of our passes and saw the most amazing Shamu show EVER, seriously, see it if you can! Who knew whales and carolers could emit such a powerful emotion.
Then we had to get our house in order for my other sister Kari and her family of 4.3 (she's expecting #3!). They showed up on Monday. We spent the week with them going to the train museum, Legoland, hiking, playing, and just enjoying ourselves.
Now, are you still reading this, because it sounds like a really boring calendar of events, well just get ready, there are pictures to come!
The morning they left Damen had a fever, cough and wasn't feeling well, it turned out to be pneumonia, poor kid. The situation was made even worse when I got sick this week too and we were both laid up most of the week. Sorry, no pictures of that.
Well, that's all, that's what we've been up to and now, the pictures:
Me and Damen on Dumbo, do you have any idea how high this thing goes??
