Christmas came early for us this year when my parents told us on Halloween Night that they were going to take us all to Disneyland for Christmas! There is something so magical about walking in those front gates and heading down Main Street each and every time you go to Disneyland. It never gets old, in fact, I think my smile gets bigger each time we go :)

The first ride we headed to was Space Mountain... a favorite for everyone in the family!

Then on to the Matterhorn... which Carter was probably tall enough to go on, but there would be NO WAY he'd like this ride. Luckily he had the perfect buddy the entire trip who kept him company while the rest of went on the bigger rides.

Ready to head up the Mountain!

Then we headed to Small World, which was one of Carter's favorites

the 4 of us in line for the Matterhorn again, we got in a lot of rides our first day!! We've become experts about maximizing our time there with fast passes, stroller passes, etc :)

The kids decided they wanted to do the Jedi Training Academy again. Cristian has been selected to participate EVERY time we have gone to the show, and Ava has too. This trip, they were both selected again... how lucky is that?!

Cristian has the training memorized now... right shoulder, left shoulder, right foot, duck, left foot, at the head. :)

Here comes Darth Vader

We enjoyed a very delicious dinner at the Napa Rose (a restaurant at Disney's California Adventure hotel) It's probably the BEST food I've eaten at the Disney Resort, I highly recommend it. The children's menu was awesome too! Here is Cristian enjoying his dessert.

Ava too

Then we went back to California Adventure to watch the World of Color, a water show that was new since the last time we were there. It was a good show, and it's always fun to do something new!

The lights and decorations during Christmas time at Disney are spectacular... which is not surprising since everything Disney does is top notch!

What an incredible day at Disney, and such an awesome gift from your parents! The water show looks great too.
There is hardly a crowd in any of your pics! Was it dead?
