Disneyland at Christmas time

A few weeks after Thanksgiving we headed off to our annual trip to Disneyland with the Palmer family!! It is one of our favorite trips of the year!

Some of the highlights of the trip:
-Celebrating Shaun's Mom's birthday at the Blue Bayou for dinner
-Watching Drew be so excited to see to characters and ride certain rides!
-Watching the holiday firework show and fantasmic.
-Becoming annual pass holders. We have wanted to every year, but it has never worked out. We can not wait to plan our next trip!

Shaun, his parents and I played some of the boardwalk games in California adventure. Shaun with all of the stuffed animals we won at the games. Okay, so honestly Shaun won most of them :)Shaun gave Drew some the animals that he won. He is such a good uncle, Drew loved them!

For the last 4 years, we have always walked through the Grand Californian Hotel in Downtown Disney admiring how beautiful it is and hoping that one day we could stay in it. For my birthday, Shaun is going to take me back and we are going to stay there! I can not wait. It was such a sweet gift and I know that he will enjoy it as much as me. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is more beautiful in person. Just talking about it makes me eager to plan the trip!
