This Christmas Break, we decided to take a spur-of-the-moment trip to Disneyland. It was very quickly planned, in that we decided and we left about 3 hours later! We called up Morian's sister, Shari, to see if she wanted to come with us, which we did, so we took off as soon as she was able to get to our house. We left at about 6:30 PM and drove to St. George. Devin and Mackenzie both fell asleep by 7, which was nice! I'll spare you all the rest of the details of our travels, but just know that it was crazy!
Our first day at Disneyland was January 1, New Year's Day, which also happens to be Morian's birthday. (This trip was his birthday present!) It wasn't the best planned-out day, and Devin had a major tantrum around lunch time, but we all still had fun.

Pull harder Devin!
King Arthur Carousel
Kenzie obviously had fun on this ride! Devin and Morian also rode it, but they weren't close enough to us that I could get a picture of them.
Pinnochio's Daring Journey
This one had it's scary moments for Devin and Mackenzie and they both snuggled into Morian quite a bit!
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
Snow White's Scary Adventures
Devin, for some reason, didn't want to ride this one, so while us girls rode it, Morian let Devin pick a souvenir. Then we took Kenzie to look for one and Devin started throwing a fit because he wanted to pick a different souvenir. Total meltdown!
Mad Tea Party
Kenzie liked spinning our tea cup and wanted to do it all by herself!
Casey Jr. Circus Train
Devin finally calmed down and was happy when he got to pick the next ride!

Walking through Minnie Mouse's house
(Mackenzie posed this way all by herself!)
(See how Devin is "drinking" some hot chocolate/tea?!)
Walking through Mickey Mouse's house
Happy 31st Birthday Morian!
(Devin recognized this broom from the "Magic Mickey" movie, otherwise known as Fantasia.)
Meeting Mickey Mouse- It only took us about 30 minutes to make it here, but it seriously felt like hours!
Driving a fun little car in Toon Town
Afterwards, we left the park for some lunch at McDonald's.
Seeing the Iron Man suits in Innovations
Playing some video games
Riding the Disneyland Railroad. We rode it once all the way around the park to kill time until our fast pass time for Autopia (no pictures) and then again to the front entrance from Tomorrowland to head back to the hotel for the night.
That night, I stayed with the kids in the hotel room while they slept so Morian and Shari could go back to the park to do more without the hindrance of little kids!
We also rode Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, but were unable to get any pictures of it.
There is obviously more to our story and so if anyone really wants to hear about our trip in detail, let me know!

Looks like you had fun! Hope we can go together sometime!
Is your hair really that long? :D I'm glad you guys went and got to ride the kid rides. I'm bummed that we didn't plan better for GLenn to ride the classic rides.
