Our trip started with a drive up to the Bay where we celebrated Christmas early with Tony's family and then a couple of days later with mine. Grandma Betty had her annual Christmas party in Napa, one that Tony and I have not been able to attend in years, and it brought back so many memories of Christmas' past. We had fun visiting with friends and eating too much.
On the 13th we headed down to Disneyland, which really is the most magical place on earth. Cienna had the time of her life, especially during her breakfast with Goofy. For those of you who don't know, Goofy is Cienna's best friend in the entire world. He is always with us, sometimes demanding that we turn the car around because Goofy forgot to jump in before we left. Something about him stuck with her when we went to Disney World and she has been obsessed ever since!
I have never been to Disneyland during the holidays and it was absolutely beautiful. The castle appears to be covered in icicles, the lamp posts blow snow after the fireworks and It's A Small World is lit up with millions of tiny lights. Their Christmas parade is awesome, with giant gingerbread men dancing and huge toy soldiers marching down Main St. I am so happy that we can take Cienna and AJ at such a young age, when their minds are exploding with imagination and creativity. At 30, I can only imagine what is going through their heads as they experience all that Disneyland has to offer!
AJ slept through most of the excitement but what he did see kept him mesmerized. His eyes were as big as silver dollars at times! We can't wait to take him back in a few years and see which character he connects with as well!
