Christmas in California

One of the first things we wanted to do before Christmas was go to Disney! We couldn't enter Disneyland because it was blacked out for Christmas so we went to Disney California Adventures. We had lots of fun looking at all the fun decorations and seeing new things. Here are a few pictures of our fun time.

Here are a few pictures of the girls opening presents. Santa Claus came on Christmas Eve because we were going to be out of town all weekend. They loved opening Christmas presents, as they should.

THE LOOT

After the presents were opened, we got ready to go to San Marcos/Vista, Ca to see Family.
That night we had a yummy dinner with David's Aunt and Uncle and cousins and Great Grandma Hill. Then we opened some more presents. David's Cousins got the girls a cute Princess tent. They loved it!! We had a blast with them! They have a tradition on Christmas Eve to play bingo and if you get a bingo you get to pick a present out of the pile of random gifts..these are very random things.. then you go for black out and this goes on till all the presents are gone.. it was so fun the girls loved it! Grandma Hill got the best gift out of everything, a $5.00 bill!! We went back to Uncle Gary and Aunt Nisa's house on their Ranch and went to bed. Had fun Christmas morning. Had breakfast and yes, opened more presents! The girls got spoiled! They got fun coloring books and books and fun new things from Nisa and Gary and their Great Grandma Hill. Here are some pics of our fun time.

The Princess tent

Uncle Gary and Aunt Nisa's Ranch is really neat. They have worked really hard to make it look like a park with walking trails and nice plants and clean areas. One thing that just amazed me while we were there is the humming birds!! They have so many , so they registered it as a wildlife habitat for hummingbirds.. Nisa has 3 feeders in front of her kitchen window that she maintains and refills many times a day!! I learned a lot about these amazing birds.

This year for the Hill cousin gift exchange the girls got these super cute plush Minnie and Daisy! How did they know they LOVE Disney?

This year was not complete without making a Gingerbread house. We (mommy) had fun making it.

Well this was our fun Christmas in California, our new home! We hope your Christmas was just as fun.
