Disney: Day One

For the kids Christmas this year, we took them to Disneyland! 

Lucas went to Disneyland when he was 15 months and Disney World when he was 2 1/2 years old ... but this was Millie's first experience.

There are a few things we would do differently next time... but overall it was a great trip!

The biggest downside was Millie had a super nasty cold the entire time. So, she wasn't the happiest little girl, but she was a trooper considering she didn't feel well. 

Millie was kind enough to share her cold with me at the start of the week... and then on the way home Scotty got sick too. I have no idea how Lucas got away without sharing germs... but I was grateful that he didn't get sick like the rest of us. 

This is our first day waiting for the bus to take us to the Happiest Place on Earth!

Can you tell Lucas is excited?

Millie and I took a ride on the Tea Cups with the boys went on the Matterhorn. 

The trip was basically Girls Team and Boys Team. 

Lucas didn't want me to go with him on any rides. Only Dad would do. 

Autotopia

Lucas thought it was pretty sweet that he got to drive!

Disney goes ALL OUT for the holidays!

It was so fun to walk around and see everything decorated and so festive.

The Castle was especially beautiful at night...

It's a Small World.

This was one of my favorites...

all changed inside for the holidays. 

Decor and music.

At night, every inch of the exterior was covered in Christmas Lights!

Tarzan's Tree House

The first Day of Disney was a little rocky. 

Scotty and I were a little anxious to get the kids there... so we woke them up early to get there at opening. Big Mistake. Millie was so extremely grumpy (which is completely unlike her. 

Lucas was exhausted. 

We left the park at 4pm. Ate dinner and hit the hot tub.
