Happy New
Year, my friends! 2011 was quite a year - while I'm glad for all that I
went through, I'm also glad it's behind us, and hopeful that 2012 will be even
better.
Our Christmas season was busy, as usual, but wonderful. We surprised the kids with a quick trip to Disneyland (thanks to the generosity of some friends) and Hollywood, where we caught up with a friend. It was a whirlwind trip, but definitely fun.

Christmas
morning, before presents.
Kevin,
with his new R/C car.....big fun!
Jules
with her new puppy, Snowball, aka Cookie.
Post-Disney
surprise - we had a treasure hunt that led them to the final
"treasure" - Mickey ears!
At Disney
- loving life. Was a little chilly, but we managed.
On The
Jungle Cruise - first ride at Disneyland!
I will
try to fix this and turn it, but I wanted to show y'all...at Splash Mountain!
Meeting
up with Woody and Jessie!
At the
Fire Department in Toon Town USA!
Again,
sorry this is sideways - I promised the kids ice cream, and Kevin got a Mickey
Mouse sandwich, while...
...Jules
got a Mickey Mouse ice cream bar!
Posing in
Hollywood!
We also
headed to Newport Beach in California the night we arrived - Levi refused to
take his boots off and join us, so this is the kids and I enjoying the ocean
for the first time.
The kids,
with Balboa Pier at Newport Beach behind them. This is after Julia's
*first* tumble into the ocean, and before Kevin's pants were completely soaked.
I love
both of these pictures....
Overall, this was a pretty cool way to celebrate the holidays this season, as well as Levi's and my 10th wedding anniversary!
