Festive happenings

 My mom was doing her hair last month and called

in a radio station and won box tickets to the Nutcracker at the

Smith Center so she decided to take Mia. She even got 

a signed ballet slipper from one of the dancers.

 She loved every minute of it and I guess she didn't even

move an inch- the guy next to them even commented that she must 

be in dance because she is watching so intently and hasn't moved 

 We just had to go to Bass Pro and see Santa. Boy was

he cute and sooo nice. He spent so much time with the kids and

was just nodding and smiling away. Kellan keeps saying he 

wants a skateboard .YIKES

 I stood in line for about an hour while they

walked around with dad and got to play with stuff

 Kellan is constantly wearing his backpack 

everywhere he goes and wants to go to "school" sooo

bad. He thinks church is school and even if he walks Mia to school,

 that counted for him going to school. It's pretty cute.

 we have our elf again this year, "Jingle"

This is my favorite one so far, I was going to a Piyo class

and so he was doing Yoga with little water and a towel and everything.

Look at his legs!

 Rick got this "Pie in the Face" game and Kellan had to try 

it out. I thought he was pretty brave with the whipped cream.

 both kids got to make gingerbread cookies too, I brought 

Mia's class some and Kellan did some with Rick. He was

very proud and called it his " Grinchy Gingerbread boy"

 Mia's cute class decorating gingerbread boys

Disneyland

 Well we all went to Disneyland this year instead of Rick just taking Mia

He was really worried about how Kellan would do but he's still free so we thought we better go 

before we have to pay for him. After the first hour he already threw a fit wanting a toy car, we

thought we were doomed but he quickly got the hang of things and was actually super good for 3 whole days at Disney. Anyway we had to pretty much sneak Kellan  on Splash Mt. 

because hes 39 3/4 of an inch so just 1/4 shy and then we had Mia bawling yes bawling all the way through the lines begging me to let her off and trying to tell every person who worked there that she wanted off. So this is the picture we get. haha she is sooo mad at us. Can you tell?

Then there's Rick and Kellan with their tongues out!

 getting ready to go on Carsland Radiator Springs ride

 so the first time, they wouldn't let Kellan on and he cried and cried about it.

 still upset even standing next to Lightning

 but then he got to go on the tractor ride which he loved

 and most of the other rides too!

 We ran into our friends so Mia got to go on

a bunch of rides with Beau- they had a blast

 teacups

 Alice in Wonderland- Kellan was pretty much my buddy

the whole time while Rick and Mia went on all the big rides.

 waiting for the awesome parade

 train ride around the park

 I already knew Kellan was non-stop but when he didn't nap the first two days and 

was still fighting us at bedtime, I was thinking this kid might be non-human but he finally 

passed out for a good hour. Yay! Of course then I let Mia go on Winnie the Pooh alone while 

I watched and the ride got stuck and she was in a cave for at least 20 minutes, the kid next to 

her peed his pants. Luckily she was okay and wasn't too upset.

 more rides with Beau

 Mia/Beau and can you see Kellan inbetween Rick and I?

We put napkins in his socks. We should have bought him

some Nikes before we came!

 he waited all the way until day 3 at the end as we were leaving to pick his

toy- pretty good since they were everywhere. Mia got a cute bow and arrow set.

Kellan had these blinking and making noise all the way home to Las Vegas
