Christmas Vacation Photos, FINALLY..

I am getting requests to update my blog and post photos of our recent trip to California. Sorry it has taken me so long. I have had a busy, crazy and fun week this week and am just now finding time. Here are a few of our photos of our trip to San Diego and Anaheim which was part of our family Christmas gift this year. We had a great time and as you can see in the photos Carlee was adorable with the characters at Disneyland and California Adventure. I can't wait to go back... (Thanks Merlinn, Travis and Isaac for sharing in the magic with us. We love you guys and are glad you came with us and/or or let us go with you). Brace yourself this could possibly be the LONGEST post I have ever done.


At California Adventure getting ready to go in and see the 3-D movie of Bugs Life. Carlee loved it even more than Elmo's 3-D movie at Sea World. She would try and grab the objects as they flew towards us, etc. It was cute.

Taking the tour ride on the double decker bus around the San Diego Zoo.

Catching a quick ride on the zoo toys before they closed and kicked us out.

Giving the donkey loves at the San Diego Temple.

A family photo op in around the nativity at the San Diego Temple. Look at the scenery and how blue the sky is. I would live in San Diego if I were rich.

Running away from the hair eating flamingos...

One of my favorite photos of all of them! This is Carlee and Baby Isaac in front of one of the many tanks at Sea World.

Riding the mammals (is this a mammal?).

In ELMO LAND at Sea World. This was one of the last things we did in Sea World so that we did not have to spend the whole day there. Carlee was in heaven.

Getting ready for the Elmo 3-D movie. She wore all of her 3-D movie glasses this way. It cracked us up.

On the beach in San Diego after we ate dinner at Joes Crab Shack, YUMMY!

Our travel buddies: Merlinn (Carson's sister), Travis and Baby Isaac

Carlee giving me loves on the beach.

Running up and giving Eyore loves.

Then posing for a photo with him. I loved that in a few years she could have that job. Look how short he is.

Carlee LOVES Tigger. Look at that smile!

Goofy being, well, goofy.

Yet another photo op in front of the Walt Disney Memorial in the center of Disneyland. (Are you getting bored yet and wondering why I didn't do a slide show? I am!)

Carlee fresh out of the bathroom in my shirt and the complimentary shower cap. Hahaha!

Mr Potato Head at the AWESOME new Toy Story ride. We did this one a couple of times.

Carlee telling Princess Ariel that she was her favorite. She would put her hands on her waist whenever she talked to any of the princesses. I am not sure why.

More loves for Baby Isaac.

Entering the ride we went on at least 8, yes EIGHT, times, Monsters Inc. This is in front of Boo's door. Carlee LOVES Monsters Inc.

Getting her own 3-D glasses for the Toy Story ride.

and again how she wore them. (Oh she also got her face painted this day.)

With Woody.

Carlee would put her hands up on EVERY ride even if it just stayed on the ground and was calm like this one in the kiddie area of California Adventure. Oh, and she held them up when the plane landed in SLC on the way home. hahaha

Our family Christmas card?

With Princess Jasmine.

and Princess Belle.

Giving Isaac a ride (and also trying to keep Carlee entertained in line for a ride).

In front of one of the MANY HUGE Christmas trees on the Disney property.

Checking out the SUPER LARGE bear...

The last day (and the last photo, whew!). Carlee could not get her eyes open she was SO tired and exhausted from the weeks activities. We had a GREAT time with LOTS of memories.
