Disneyland Trip!

We went on a long, lovely vacation a couple weeks ago with Oby's side of the family. We truly had such a wonderful time! We stayed in a nice rental home in Anaheim and just enjoyed being with the fam several days, then hitting Disneyland for 4 days. We truly are so blessed! These pictures are in a completely random order, but this is the best I can do tonight. :)

This might be my new favorite picture. I love these two sillies. My life is so full.

Madison, Isabella, and Chloe with the princesses! Madi and Chloe's faces kill me! And I loved the spot where these princesses were... The waterfall and dwarfs! So cute!

Chloe Oby, Fred and Taylor with Tow Mater! We loved Cars Land!

Chloe, Isabella, PJ, Fred, Tonio, Henry, and William with the infamous Meeska Mooska! I am so in love with Fred's face in this pic! Is he scared? Just checking him out? Letting him know who's boss? I don't know, but I find it hilarious!

I love this pic of Chloe in her minnie glasses. She got these last time we went to Disneyland - I think they're so cute :)

Izzy in the game room at the house. The kids loved the game room!

Who wouldn't love a game room with Foosball!?! Nothin' better!

Here's Taylor, Nick, and Oby between rounds of Pit. We adults didn't need a game room to play games. We got rowdy, though, playing Pit, Ticket to Ride, and card games. So many fun memories!

Zeke and the Hulk at the Lego store. Don't make Zeke mad! No, really, don't. ;)

Oby, Jamie, Tonio, Zeke in the pool. The pool at the house was SO nice and we spent a LOT of time in it (mostly doing cannonball contests, of course)!

William is such a cutie. He said Oby was his favorite guy on this trip. Oby is my favorite guy, but Will is right up there. Love this kid.

The whole pool crew!

Beautiful little Madison!

Papa & Chloe

More fun in the pool/hot tub!

Pete, Freddo, and Taylor

We all loved this new tire ride in Cars Land. I didn't have my camera when Chloe rode on it, but she looved it! They had a booster seat for her so she could ride by herself and she just loved it! So fun :)

Chloe in Small World amid our tulips <3 br="br">

My pretty girl

She was holding up her head so well in Small World! She didn't want to miss anything!

Will, Zeke, Chloe just chillin' :)

PJ trying to get Papa, Nana, Zeke, Henry, and Taylor to hurry up into the park!

Small World/Big Family. Everyone's on a slight hill and it makes me laugh how Nick looks like a giant just because he's at the top of the hill! =)

Izzy, Chloe, Zeke, and Henry ~ such silly kids!

Izz, Will, Chloe, and Henry waiting in line for Peter Pan! That's one of my favorites :)

Nana and Papa in matching track suits. Those two were killin' me this trip with their track suits!

Chloe and Izzy got their faces painted for free by this cute girl. She insisted on doing it for free - so nice! They looked cute and festive with their Christmas lights and snowflakes.

Chloe and Oby on the California Adventure pier featuring Chloe's favorite ride ~ the Ferris wheel with rocking gondolas!

Oby, Mike, Tami, Pete, Chloe, and Will waiting in line

Megan, Madi, Zeke, Nick, Lucas ~ da Gangwers!

Another picture on the pier. The night pic is much better, don't you think?!

Will, Zeke, and Izz waiting to see the Bug's Life movie. Izzy is such a ham for pictures!

Will and Henry ~ brothers gotta hug!

Izz, Aisha, Tonio, Jamie. Aww.

More Small World

Papa and his kids on the tram, a.k.a. one of Chloe's favorite rides!

Some of the crew just watching a movie on one of our days off.

Chloe in her Toy Story ride 3D glasses (this was most of our group's favorite ride)

The Norseth's in Cars Land :)

Chloe and Oby in front of the big tree. Chloe's making this face because we aren't on a ride. She wanted to be on a ride every second and was pouting when we weren't! Silly girl!

Oby got Chloe this glow in the dark balloon. Oh boy, did she love it for the 2 hours it lasted. She beat that thing until it popped!

Love these kids!

Our sweet kiddos for a group pic the night before we left: Izzy, Will, Henry, Zeke, Madi, Chloe, Lucas, Tonio, PJ, and Fred. :)

Before I had Chloe, I liked Disneyland okay, but didn't think much of it. But the memories I've made with Chloe and Oby at that place and the magic in Chloe's eyes... it's a pretty special place to this heart of mine. I'm so thankful we were able to go and am already looking forward to next time :)
