Happy New Year! From the Happiest Place on Earth!

This was the second year we went to D=land right after Christmas. It is the craziest and busiest time of year, but the only time we are all together. And since my kids are old enough, I let them decide if they'd rather have gifts or go to Disneyland. They chose the later, so off we went! Hayden was a such a cute age for it, he loves Mickey and all the characters and so he was in heaven. His face says it all....

The park is always the prettiest this time of year and this year was no exception...


Small World goes through a complete transformation for the holidays.

Julie caught this one of Steve and I on the Thunder Mtn. train...last car!
Hayden and Pappa were buddies most of the time...
I caught these darling expressions of Hayden during lunch one day...

We started our New Years Eve by leaving the park for dinner at Mimi's, less crowded and much less expensive! Then they handed out some party hats for everyone at D-land and we couldn't believe the crowds!

Countdown to Midnight! at BOTH parks...

The castle was STUNNING!!!

Julie got this great shot of California Adventure...
It really was the Happiest Place on Earth for us, mostly because we were together:).
