We decided to stay overnight one night in December and do our Christmas Disney Trip. It's always so fun to see all things they change at Christmas time. We actually took a half day and just spent the evening in the park on the first night, then slept over in a hotel and came for the who next day! And we seem to have a gift for picking the hottest or rainest days to go to Disneyland...this trip was the rainiest (or maybe with this drought I should say the one day it rained all year!) so we look all bundled up in these pictures given that it was actually kinda cold!
One of my favorite things about Disneyland at Christmas time is what they do to Small World! The lights are amazing and they even change the inside as well.

Maddi Moo!
Macee wandered into Mickey's house in toontown while we waited for everyone else to finish with the toontown roller coaster and we all followed after her not realizing that we'd actually get to see Mickey at the end. Fun surprise!
Fireworks at Cinderella's Castle with Fake Snow falling. :)
As soon as we got to the park that first night we were able to get a spot and wait for the parade to start! We LOVE the parades!
We ran into Pluto while we waited.
One of the few rides me and "Max" could ride.

The Camera guy introduced us to the panoramic function on our camera to get the whole tree in!
I think poor Maddi fell when they were running to the tea cup. I love how she's still trying to smile though!
Getting a little workout in while we waited for the big kids!
Couldn't be more excited to run into Doc McStuffins!!
Our "Joy" girl has her moments just like anyone else at the end of the long exciting day!
Ran into our good friends while we were there!
