Surprising Abby, Dallin and Emma at 4am to tell them we were going to Disneyland....................

PRICELESS

We had the greatest time! Our dreams and wishes came true every day!

We walked into Disneyland and Christmas music was playing and the Parade had just started and it just got better from that moment!

We had so many fantastic moments!

Our family was chosen to have a personal meeting with Cinderella, in her room...Dallin was chosen from the audience to be Prince Charming...he was to shy to do it but felt honored....Abby was chosen to perform with High School 2....We got to see the REAL Princess Giselle from Enchanted....We saw and did so much and could have stayed for more days. The kids were fantastic in the car.

They wore grins even in the rain.

It will be a memory to cherish FOREVER!

Emma stated as we were packing the car to leave" It's amazing, that Disneyland!"

and it was!

On the road home.....

Fa la la la la la la la!

Abby and Zach are members of Scera pArk Singers and performed in the mall on the 17th by Mervyns. They sounded like angels!

It's Beginning to look like Christmas...

For me it isn't Christmas without snow...Yeah!

Oh and a little pinecones and holly berries!

Crystal hope you have been practicing because

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Building? a Gingerbread House...

It is way harder than it looks...

but it was sooooo much fun! It started out okay... But as we got going... It collapsed! Oh Well...we tried to put it back together three or four hundred times, but decided that we just aren't cut out for this type of work... So we decorated the remains...And ate the remainders!

Yummmmm!

Thanks Jason and Glenda! It was truly a Blast!
