To add to my list...

Of my FAVORITE things about living in southern California is

Disneyland Season Passes!!!!
For the price of TWO days at the park, I can go w/ Shea (cause he's still free) to Disneyland and California Adventure 170 days this year!!

Our wonderful, incredible, terrific friend Morgan encouraged us to get some passes so we can go with her and Shea's little buddy Henry as much as we want. So on Wed we just hopped in the car and 40 minutes later climbed out at the Happiest Place on Earth! My favorite thing about having a pass - we don't have to stay 16 hours to get our money's worth, and you can only ride 3 rides and sit and watch the ducks (or people) or whatever for the rest of the time if you want, because you can come back anytime!! It was so much fun!!!

Shea got to see Santa and his reindeer at Disneyland this week!!! It was precious. He sat right on his lap and when Santa asked, he said, "I want a bike for Christmas." (Which he's been asking for since Sep.) Then Santa asked him what color and he said, "I want a cool bike!!" And then my sweet little guy looked into Santa's eyes and said, "I've been a really good little boy!" It was so cute. I guess all our, "You better be a good boy or else..." is working. :-)

Trying to peek in on Santa-


Mommy, Shea and Santa!!-



"Mommy, the Reindeer are real!!"-


Goofing around on Santa's sleigh-


His two other favorite things turned out to be watching the little Jedi Training School while we were waiting for Morgan to get our chicken and fries. Next time we'll definitely let him participate because he's been saying NON STOP since we got home that we wants to fight Darth Vader!!! He also ADORES the Buzz Light Year ride. He cried when we were done because he wanted to do it again. Hooray for Disneyland!!
