Thanksgiving Celebration!

We had an amazing Thanksgiving this year. It was so amazing that it has taken me a week to recover! My whole family and Aunt Diana came to San Diego and The Wilson House for The Feast! But before we sat down to The Big Dinner (and I mean BIG, 28lb turkey big) we spend 3 days in Disneyland! The HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!!! Well except for maybe Disney World.

The Castle had snow and extra sparkle during the winter. We were screaming with excitement when we saw it. Sydney wanted to stay and look at every decoration. 

We stayed at the California Grand Hotel which was a 

treat alone! This hotel was so beautiful but just like Disneyland and our hotel were decorated for the Holiday Season. They did such an amazing job. The first night we stayed at the hotel the Christmas Elves were hard at work. We woke up that first morning to a huge Christmas tree in the lobby, giant presents, ornaments, wreaths and garlands covering every inch 

possible. The kids and I were amazed!

The hotel was so close to the entrance to Disneyl

and we didn't even have to take the train in. Also the hotel has it's own entrance into California Adventures! 

We were so spoiled. Todd said we might never be able to go back if we don't stay at that hotel.

First stop was the Tea Cups.

 Then Dumbo and then it was off to Finding Nemo. 

Then a little breakfast with The Disney Characters. I don'

t know how much we ate really.  But we got to meet a lot of characters. 

Even the characters were dressed in the holiday finest. Cute dress Minnie!

Bella thought Goofy was very funny!

My mom takes all the Grandchildren to Disneyl

and by the time they are 6. She bought all the little girls princess dresses to wear at Disnehyland. They each picked out the one they loved best. Sydney's is a wedding dress with all the princesses on it. She just couldn't decide which was her favorite. Bella loved Alice In Wonderland and was so happy to have found her dress. This trip Grandma treated all the girls to a lunch with the Princesses at Arial's Grotto. We met ALL the Disney Princesse and had an "Fancy" lunch. The girls were speechless. 

A scary BUG!

 Don't eat the Princess and Alice. We LOVED the Bugs Life area in California Adventures. Even the "stinky" show as the girls called it. 

On to the Jungle Cruise. The kids were waving to all the animals. 

And then the rain came. First it was a sprinkle then its was a drizzle and by nightfall it was fully raining. But that did not stop the Wilson, Case, Lloyd, Lowe family. We stayed late into the night.  My sister April, Mom and Adam even went on Splash Mountain multiple time! Wish I had a picture of them after that!

Having fun even in the rain!

It's Buzz! Preston was, is, obsessed with this "Shoot Gun" he got after the Buzz ride. He was shooting and shooting and shooting.....

 I was hoping it would run out of batteries in the first day. No such luck. The Buzz ride was his favorite, obviously.

THE END.
