My Birthday at Disneyland!

This year Disneyland had a special deal where you could get into the park for free on your birthday. Well, in my case that wasn't necessary since I have a season pass. So instead of a free ticket in, I received a gift card for the amount of a ticket. Good deal, huh? Well Nathan's season pass had expired the week earlier, so I used it toward the price of renewing his pass.
Anyway, when I woke up that morning, it was pouring rain. I was still determined to go though so I could get my gift card. Nathan, luckily, was able to get off work early and come with us. Even in the rain, we had a lot of fun, and no lines!

We had to get a photo in front of the big Christmas tree, but Julia just wanted to go play...
This was the nicest Santa! And there was no line! So we just hung out with him for a bit and took or time taking some pictures.



Getting a little silly toward the end of the day.
On our way out after a wet wet day at the Magic Kingdom!

More visitors! Yay!

My parents and a few of my siblings came for a visit over the weekend. We had some free passes to Legoland, so we went while they were here.

Karsyn, Julia, Parker

Julia really wanted to go on this ride, even though I told her she would get wet. She had fun,

but was a little uncomfortable in her wet jeans afterword.

The only ride Mason could go on. (Legoland isn't very baby friendly...)

We also went to La Jolla Cove while they were here. The kids found a good climbing tree.

Our kids were not in the mood for photos...

So we took one without them!

Had a great time with my family! Hope next time every one can make it!

Jon and Kara

Hooray! Jon and Kara finally came for a visit. Jon had a break from school and Kara was done with her grueling internship. They weren't here for long, but we made sure to have fun while we had the chance! We went to the zoo one day, and then the next Kara and I did what we do best. Shopping. And then they had to go home. Boo.

Mason was totally digging Uncle Jon's nose.
