Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year and really enjoyed having the girls home from school for a month. Life is so much easier without homework!

With Christmas being on a Sunday this year we decided to open most of our presents after church.  I wasn't sure how well that would go over with the girls, but they didn't complain, and all were happy.   We enjoyed a nice peaceful sacrament meeting then went home and opened presents.  I forgot how spiritual church is on Christmas day since it doesn't happen very often. 

After presents we went to Grandma and Grandpa Berg's house for brunch.

Disneyland at Christmas Time



The HUGE Christmas tree on Main Street in Disneyland



Me and the girls posing as toys in California Adventure.

We got lucky and got in the very short line for Jessie right before they closed it.

The girls love getting their picture with all the characters!

Showing how tough they were while we were in line for Space Mountain. 

In line at Space Mountain still.  They had no idea what they were in for.  Needless to say they didn't really like it, but they did it without crying.  We were really impressed with their bravery.

Waiting for World of Color to start.  We had pretty good seats this time, and we loved it!

Gotta get a picture with Mickey Mouse!  After all isn't he the one who started it all?

We loved all the Christmas scenery.  The trees were so big that it's hard to do them justice in a picture; especially if you wan't to see the people in them. 

We had dinner at Goofy's kitchen and got to meet lots of characters.  The girls love getting to talk to the princesses!

Another cute photo opp, but we couldn't get Cadence to cooperate.  We were trying to stay out until fireworks that night, so they girls were getting pretty tired.  Then they ended up canceling them because it was too windy. :(

Steve and Kaitlin with full bellies after having breakfast at StoryTellers Cafe one morning.  This is my favorite restaurant at Disneyland.  They have the best omlettes in the world! It must be true, because I generally don't eat omlettes.
