We Love Christmastime at Disneyland

Christmastime at Disneyland is absolutely awesome; there is nothing like it.  The lights and decorations are something to behold, but nothing stands out like what they do with It's A Small World.  Normally this isn't a ride that we would go one, but at Christmas you just can't go to Disneyland without taking it for a spin.  They put so many lights on it that I'm sure you could see it from space.  Add the wide-eyed gaze of a two year old to it all and you've got an experience that would melt even the Scrooge-iest heart.

The first picture below is of us out in front of It's A Small World just after they had turned the lights on for the night.  Precisely at fifteen minutes after five, all at once, the lights came on and it was quite a treat to see.  What was once dark became what you see behind us and everyone oohed and awed as it happened.  If you ever have the opportunity to see this take place you need to; it was worth the wait.

What an absolutely wonderful picture of Xander and his Mommy in front
of the Disneyland Christmas Tree.  We were blessed that everyone was
kind enough to move off to the side of the street so we could get this shot.

Xander enjoyed the Disneyland Christmas Parade atop Daddy's shoulder's.
It gave him the perfect spot so he could wave to Santa as he passed
by.  Xander was very persistent and kept shouting, "Santa, Santa" until
he actually looked right at him and waved back.

All Smiles

Alaster was in a great mood this morning.  It was as if he woke up with a smile on his face and it stayed there until he fell asleep for his nap a couple hours later.

How cute is our little prince?

Precious!

Xander gave baby brother his teddy bear to cuddle with this morning.  That put a smile on his face too.

Alaster thought was having way too much fun playing with big bothers teddy bear as well as watching Xander dance around the room.
