Day 3: Disneyland! :D New Year's Eve!

December 31st was our 3rd day of vacation.

We went to Disneyland and it was a blast!

It was so fun going there during Christmas season because it was all decked out in Christmas. :) This tree is HUGE And it had so many ornaments on it! :)

The only thing that stinks about Christmastime at Disneyland is it was SO busy! haha. But at Disneyland, fast passes are FREE!! hahaha. So we did a few fast passes.

{Disney characters!}

These ducks were crazy! We fed them a little bit and then they were all swarming around us! So Jordan made a trail of food to see if they would come up so we could take a picture, but they didn't... dang it! haha.

We waited in line at the Haunted Mansion for 3 hours!! It was crazy... but it made time go by while we were waiting for our fast passes at Space Mountain.

Well then we went on Space Mountain and it was a BLAST!

We also went on Matterhorn TWICE!! :D

And we just found out that they are taking that ride out... :( ha.

Then we rode the Monorail and it was fun to see everything from up high. :)

And there was the parade going on and it was busy.

{Cotton Candy=LOVE}

{The Disney Castle}

I got Minnie Mouse Ears!!! YAY!!

Then they lit the castle! :)

We rode Splash Mountain and we all got SOAKED!!!!!!!

It was crazy! And it was even at parts that weren't like supposed to splash a lot, but it did! ha.

And we all pulled crazy faces for the picture, but I didn't take a picture of it. ha.

{Can tou tell how wet we are?? I wore dark pants so you can't tell, but I got soaked... you can see from my hair. and One of my toms got soaked... I don't know if you can see that either. ha.}

{Austin.... close your mouth when you chew.. hahaha.}

{Now can you tell my tom got soaked?}

We went shopping and got some sweet stuff... Some Mickey and Minnie Mouse Shot glasses.. haha. Because they were so cute! :) And we collect them wherever we go... even though we don't drink.. haha. We could use water.. lol. jk. They're just for collection! :)

They had fireworks and we decided to stay for the 8:00 ones but it was so foggy we couldn't see them... then we decided not to stay for the New Year's Eve fireworks because it was so packed and we were cold and tired, so we took a trip to Wal Mart..

{It was in RED writing!! Scary.. and it was a sketchy part of the town...}

And we got sparkling cider and oreos and pizza and we went back to the hotel and watched the celebration and the ball drop, but I fell asleep way before midnight, and everyone else didn't last until midnight either.. hahaha.

But it was a great fun day! :)

Be excited for the next post!! :D Coming soon!! Day #4 of vacay! :)

Have a great night!

Christmas Party + 1st day of vaca!! :D

So the day after Christmas was the Egbert Family Christmas Party, and it was at Grandma Merlene's.... She is the sweetest lady!

I love that I have her as a Grandma now!

If you know her and you haven't gone to her house at Christmastime.. GO!!! She decks it out! And she has like A MILLION nativity scenes!! I love it! :D

Well the party was a blast... I made a peanut butter cheeseball for it, and I also made oreo balls/truffles {Both of which were found off pinterest!} haha. They were both a hit! :D

And everyone else brought different desserts and dinner too and it was SO good! :) It was fun to talk to everyone and just relax. :)

Everyone came but Austin's aunt Mitzi {who I still haven't met yet}, but when her and her family are able to come visit, I am so excited to finally meet her! :D

Here is a picture from the party {PS... it was when the party was like over, so we look kinda exhausted! haha.}

Then on the 28th of December we were off to Utah! We drove to Blackfoot, and then rode down with Alex and Blake.

We stayed the night in Utah and woke up SUPER early to get to the airport!

We flew from Salt Lake to Long Beach for our vacay in CALIFORNIA!! :D

{That was what we did for our Christmas with the Egbert's this year :D}

This Blimp thing was at the airport and it is the same one that Austin saw on the last day of our trip which you'll find out about in a later post! :D

It was WARM! :D And the airport was shaped like a boat kind of! :D

So the first day we got there {The 29th of Dec.} consisted of flying, getting a rental car, trying to shove our luggage in the rental cars, getting to the hotel, eating, and going to Knott's Berry Farm!! :D The rides were super fun, except for the fact that we had to wait in each line for like 3 hours, so we only got to go on 3 rides. ha. And we decided the next time we go there we are getting fast passes because they are only $30 more AND you get to go to the front of the line!! BOOYA!! hahaha. :D But it was super fun, and the rides were HUGE!! :D

Then it was off to In-N-Out to eat Din Din, and then to the Hotel to get a good night's rest for a fun filled day the 2nd day of our vacation which will be the next post! :D

Have a great night! :)
