Merry Christmas

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, every where you go." Can you believe it's Christmas time again? I can't either. To kick off the Christmas season this year, my husband and I surprised the kids with a trip to Disneyland on Thanksgiving Day. After all, there's nothing like walking down Main Street (with 50,000 of your closest friends - LOL) listening to Christmas carols and seeing the castle all decorated with lights and ornaments to put you in the Christmas spirit. Right? Yeah, we thought so too!

So on Thanksgiving Day we had an early dinner and then left for what the kids thought was going to be a trip into town to see a movie and then dessert. When we arrived at the airport and announced we were going to Disneyland instead, they were so excited! Then it dawned on them they hadn't packed anything, so they thought we were going to have to drive all the way back home to pack. Nope! I had done all the packing and had hidden their suitcases in the back. We were ready to go!

We arrived at Disneyland that evening and caught part of the fireworks show. We even managed to ride a few rides and have some hot cocoa and dessert. If you haven't been to Disney during the holidays you really should. The decorations and lights are amazing. Here are a few of the decorations we saw around the park.








What would the holidays be at Disneyland without a holiday dessert? These little cuties were at almost every restaurant we visited. These are the Mickey Demitasse cups and they come filled with a delicious chocolate mousse and the cup is yours to keep. From what I hear these cups are available every year with a different design. How cool is that for the collector? They were also very yummy!





Of course what Disney trip for our family would be complete without a Photopass picture in front of the castle. Here is this year's picture for us.





I used Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses paper collection. I thought the colors in this collection worked perfectly with the colors of the castle. I'm glad I still had some sitting around! I also used Martha Stewart's punch around the page to create the border around the white cardstock. Thanks for looking and have a very blessed Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
