Our Disneyland Adventures

So I feel like such a slacker just barely posting about our trip to Disneyland. We caught a stomach bug on our way home and are still in recovery. So here is a brief glimpse at all the fun.

One of the highlights was our back stage pass to meet the princesses. And who do you suppose was there? Cinderella and Snow White. I could have kissed them both. Liesel had been talking about seeing Snow White for weeks. Luckily that dream came true.

Liesel was a little shy but not as shy as Eliza. This is about as close to them as she got. Kind of funny since that is all she could talk about before we left...seeing the Princesses.

The best part of the trip was being with cousins...swimming, waiting in line, riding the carousel (over and over), the parade with Grandpa, matching shirts, pretty dresses...the memories will last forever.

The wedding was also fantastic. Congratulations again Andrew and Tara...we are so thrilled for you!

The girls loved their new pretty dresses from Grandma Nan.Here is our attempt at a nice family photo...can you see the cheese stick in Liesel's hands...good times!
Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year. I hope to be asleep before it is midnight here...is that weak?

Ten on Tuesday

1. We celebrated Daniel's birthday on Friday. It was a bit of a busy day with Seminary, changes at work, and school that night. But he made it home in time for cake with the girls. Happy Birthday Daniel...we love you!

2. Our Thanksgiving was wonderful but uneventful...no pictures and very little accomplished but Daniel did let me go shopping on Black Friday...loved it!

3. QOTD: I was finishing up Lydia's stocking when I said; "Girls did you know that Santa is going to come on Christmas and fill your stockings with toys and presents?"
Liesel: "Oooooooh, that's so nice!"

4. I have been up to my neck in projects...making pajamas for the girls and their babies, working frantically on our gift for the lucky member(s) of my family who's name we drew, finishing stockings, shopping, finishing my Christmas cards (sorry for the delay...our printer broke), and it seems like more are added everyday. I think I over book myself at Christmas.

5. Daniel's job title changed again on Friday. He is now a Sales Associate at the Bluffs. Anyone you know looking for a town home in Colorado Springs? We are really grateful to still be employed and are so grateful for the Lord's kindness to us.

6. We got our Christmas tree on Saturday and the girls are thrilled. Our candy canes only made it two days and only the top half of the tree is decorated (Lydia can't keep away) but we love the sent it brings and the girls love to plug in the lights.

7. Daniel now only has a week and a half of school and we are thrilled. He has worked so hard and has been so consistent through the past year and a half. He deserves a great vacation.

8. Vacation you say...coming right up. We head for Andrew's wedding and a visit to Disney Land as soon as class is over on the 17ht! Any Disneyland survival tips?

9. We were so grateful to watch the Christmas Devotional on Sunday. You can watch it here.

10. Neglected to lock up my craft closet today and now have embossing powder and stamp pad ink dotting my bedroom carpet. Does anyone have any bright ideas of removing that?
