My Favorite Part of Christmas is...

... Disneyland! I've been once with Nick and once with my friend Melissa. I forgot my camera when I went with Nick, so here are some of the pictures from my visit with Melissa.Isn't the Castle stunning with all the "icicles?"
Good times on the wildest ride in the wilderness!

We LOVE taking pictures in front of the CALIFORNIA letters outside California Adventure. These are my favorite shots.

I was trying to jump into the hole in the A so I could take a cute picture, but it wasn't really working out and this was the result.

Beach Photo Shoot

On Saturday, my siblings-in-law and I went down to Newport Beach to do a photo shoot for my mother-in-law's Christmas gift. We're putting together a big wall collage for her. I was SOOO nervous about how things would work out because there were so many obstacles and set backs in planning the whole thing. The photographer I originally asked didn't work out and it took almost two months to finally find a day when all five of us could get together. Then when we finally did get together, it came dangerously close to raining us out, and it was so windy that taking pictures was ridiculously difficult. But in the end, everything turned out alright. We didn't get as many good shots as I would have liked because of the wind (our hair was everywhere and it ruined a few great shots) but we got enough great shots to fill the collage frame. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Vanessa. One of my favorite shots of the day.

Nick... I love this picture of him.

It's Beginning to look alot like Christmas!

Yay! I hung the stockings by the chimney with care...
I love my stockings and stocking holders!! I got my giant stockings that look like elf shoes last year and my stocking holders that look like uber sparkly gold presents this year! Amazing. They're the only Christmas decorations I have of my own. Little by little I add more each year.

Dressed in her Christmas best!

Even Bella is getting into the Christmas spirit with her adorable Christmas sweater. She is so stylish with her furry white color and knit red sweater with beaded snowflakes ebroidered on it. I always made fun of the people who dressed up their dog before I had one, and just look at me now. Good times. She is so freaking adorable. It's going to be ugly when I have a baby.

The only thing left that will make it REALLY officially feel like Christmas, is Disneyland. Its not completely the Christmas season until I see the "Believe in Holiday Magic" fireworks and have it snow on Main Street while I cry like a baby. I can't wait.

I love Christmas!

LAME!

Last night we had chinese food.

Nick's fortune cookie: "Reward yourself with something special"

My fortune cookie: "Saturdays are a great day to take care of chores"


Seriously.
