Its a Small World

Christmas is upon us!! We always make sure we go through "It's a Small World" when we go to the happiest place on earth. The lights are so beautiful! At the top of every hour they darken the lights and play an amazing music and video show on the walls. It will never get old. Ever!

Thanksgiving Feast

Every year, we go to Disneyland for Thanksgiving with our best friends. My family lives in Washington so instead of making a big ol dinner we decided to let someone else cook and clean up for us! The Thanksgiving Feast at the Disneyland hotel is amazing! It is held in the Grand Ballroom at the Disneyland Hotel. They have so many different foods from traditional, to a kids bar, to crepes, etc. The dessert table is so incredible. I love the mini pumpkin pies and red velvet mini cupcakes. They also have music and Disney characters there to entertain. Afterwards we head off to the park for the holiday parades and fireworks to start the holidays off with a bang! (In the background you can see a bottle with Mickey ears..thats lotion they have in the bathrooms!)

Church Bistro

Today was the annual church bistro and it was yummy! I had spaghetti and meatballs.Looking around I realize how we have so many wonderful people at our church. I just love our church family. Pastor Steve led each table in a sing along to "Thats Amore" and our table won. The only thing that was missing was Alison and Special K. I know they would have enjoyed it :)

Moving In

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind!! We are finally out of our old house and into the new one. let the unpacking begin!!!

Cake Topper

As you know we are getting ready to move. So with it has been many hours of packing and sifting through boxes to determine whats going with us and whats getting a one way ticket to the dump. My hubby found our wedding box today and in it was my dress, veil, guest book, champagne glasses, katy's flower girl hairpiece and basket, invitations,partyware and our cake topper. Its hard to imagine that we have been married almost 15 years. Seems like a lifetime and yet not even a minute ago. That day was special. I can laugh now but our family was going through some stuff and well some moments were incredibly awkward but hey its all better now! My friends Heather and Sherrie made my 3 tier wedding cake. They had been taking decorating lessons. I remember picking the cake out in a bridal magazne and voila! they made it. I will have to scan some of the cake pics so you can see them. I really loved this lil topper. Its survived well, much like Bobby and I have :)

Rainy day at the beach

I just love the weather we have been having lately! The clouds and cool drizzle are announcing that fall is here. I grew up in the Seattle area and so the weather we are having is very similiar to what they have up there just about everyday Fall through Spring. The beach shot pictured is across the street from one of our favorite restaurants, Las Olas. I have mentioned it in earlier posts. The charbroiled chicken taco platter is awesome and their yogurt salsa is to die for. I was so thrilled when the waiter asked,"flour, corn or wheat tortillas?" Wheat?? yay!!! Fiber is a major plus on the WW plan so I was excited.  It really is one of my top 5 favorite retaurants. As for the beach, its Cardiff-by-the Sea, so its more rocky than most but still a beautiful place :)
