Two of Geoff's brothers and their families came for a Disney for a few day and we were able to go on 2 of the days and spend some time with them. It was so fun and the kids had a great time with their cousins.
On our first day there we met them after school got out. My Mom watched Em for us so she could stay out of the chilly weather and so we could have a few hours on some big kid rides. Disneyland at Christmas time is extra magical and I love it! When we got to the tram Aedan and Cali were excited to see the CARS signs...
We had dinner at the Flying J over in DCA with everyone...
and then we went on Soarin' over California which the kids hadn't been on yet. While we waited in line the kids played with their cousins. They loved it! The ride, however, they weren't so sure about. They can't decide if they liked it or not. Haha
These two were soooo cute! So alike!
We went on Monster's Inc since the line wasn't long...
and then headed over to Disneyland...
Best picture of the Christmas decorations I could get while walking and trying to keep up with the group...
Ever since watching The Nightmare Before Christmas the kids have been DYING to go on The Haunted Mansion. They got right up to the doors and then Cali decided she wasn't quite ready but Aedan went on it and LOVED it! He was so proud of himself for being brave and going on it...
The kids didn't want to go on Space Mountain with the group so I talked them into going on Star Tours by reminding them that it's not very often we go to Disneyland without Em and this was their time to go on big kid rides that they never get to go on! I was a little nervous for them during the ride but both of them LOVE LOVE LOVED it!! Cali sat there with big eyes and a HUGE smile the whole ride and Aedan was totally into it but I couldn't tell if he liked it or not until the end when he got all excited about how awesome it was! Haha.
And while we were at Disneyland Em got to build blocks with Grandma & Maegan...
Since Thursday was a minimum day, we headed over earlier and Geoff got off early so he could come with us. Yipee!! Em knew where we were headed when we got on the tram and got excited...
We met the group over in DCA and hung out by the Grizzly Rapids for a bit while some of them went on it (in the COLD!) Aedan, Cali and Em played around the big bear, boat and oar.
Then we headed over to go on some rides. I took a picture of the Aedan and his cousin Zack by the jellyfish ride...
We were deciding what to do next when out came some dancers with Mickey & Minnie!! Em was so excited to see Minnie and Minnie even waved right at her. It made her day!
The kids went on The Golden Zephyr for the first time...
We had dinner at Aedan & Cali's favorite place to eat... Flo's Cafe.
and walked through Radiator Springs. We decided to get a family picture since we were all there AND we had people to take our picture!
We watched the holiday World Of Color which was fun for the kids because it had the Frozen characters in it with all the others.
The last thing we did was head over to Toy Story Mania which is a super fun ride!
