Funnies

First of all...we got elfed! I am sure a lot of you have seen these as it has been going around...but it is hilarious and easy to do...so check out how we got elfed:

Last Friday we went on the final ride of double decker 1014 b/c of stricker emission laws starting 1/1/08...so sad. But anyway here is Tara's fabulous videography skills of Hannah enjoying her first and last ride on 1014 (and yes we are all bus nerds!)

Doubled Deck Cruising

Last I have been watching a lot of "Best of 2007" videos on MSN and found a really hilarious one of Miss South Carolina's answer to a question asked of her during the Miss Teen pagent....so sad and painful to watch but very entertaining at the same time!

Painful

Back to Reality

Well we are back at work/day care and still wishing we were at "The Happiest Place on Earth". I will post more pictures soon of our final days at Disneyland. We all had a great time and in the future we want to spend more days there. Unfortunately we never found Baloo...so sad. We searched high and low, inquired every day if he was at the park but their only response was that he is not a "winter character"...whatever that means! I didn't know that some characters only come out in the winter vs. summer...I mean come on it is LA...they really don't have that many seasons. That was one part of our trip that did not make Hannah the very happy but she fell in love with Pluto so at least he was able to take her mind off of not seeing Baloo.

Our Disneyland Adventure Continues

As our Disneyland Adventure continues...yesterday we took a day of rest b/c of our crazy drive down the other day and the crazy weather here in LA. It was so very cold, windy and raining a bit...I felt like I was in Sacramento in the winter not LA! Anyway, the Telford Family and all of us in the Morrill family decided to stroll around Downtown Disney and do a little shopping and window shopping. At our first stop at the Disney Store Hannah and Abby had fun being silly in Nemo hats:



Hannah, Tom & Abby had a lot of fun running circles in a courtyard of the The Grand Californian:



In the evening Adam & I made the suggestion of eating at the Rainforest Cafe b/c it would be fun to watch all the animals, plants, and rain showers around us when we ate. That "fun" turned into horror for Tom, Abby & Hannah as we were sitting next to a giant African Elephant that every 10-12 minutes would blow its horn and move around and terrify them. It was a fabulous dinner filled with screams of terror every 10-12 minutes from the kids. Hannah eventually somewhat got use to it but poor Tom & Abby had to leave. We all had a great dinner..ha-ha. After dinner though we went outside to check out the beautiful Christmas decorations and here are Abby & Hannah posing for a picture in front of Christmas Tree:



Today it was back to Disneyland for more fun. Since Hannah was up at 5:30am we got to the park at 7am and rode on the "Finding Nemo" submarine voyage and then we had lots of fun flying on Dumbo:





And of course we hugged a lot of Disney Characters:









We are still on the hunt for Baloo...Hannah's favorite. All she can talk about is finding Baloo and giving him a big hug. The only problem is that he is not around the park so much..why I don't know! We go everyday to the Disney City Hall b/c they can find where the characters are that day. We found out that Baloo was only appearing at the Minnie & Friends breakfast this morning (which by the way we were at on Thursday morning but Baloo was not there that day). So we went up to the Minnie & Friends breakfast and begged our way past 3 employees into the eating area promising them we did not want breakfast we just wanted to say hi to Baloo b/c that was our daughter's favorite character. Well once in we found out Baloo was on a break for some undisclosed amount of time...great. What we won't do for our kids. So tomorrow the search continues for Baloo...wish us luck!

Greetings from Disneyland!

After leaving at 2:30am on Thursday morning, Hannah being awake in the car from 2:30 - 4:30 am and us finally arriving in Disneyland at 9:30am it was well worth it. We are having so much fun in Disneyland! Hannah is just having a blast! She wants to hug all the characters and is just looking at everything with huge eyes! She loves it and we love watching her love it. Enjoy the pictures. :)

Decking the Halls

First of all, isn't this just the cutest picture you have ever seen?! I love it! These two keep getting better together every day and you can just tell they love each other even though most of the time they are torturing each other...just like real siblings...see we don't have to have another kid. :)



We have been super busy decorating our house for Christmas. Last year we didn't get a tree we didn't even put lights on our house b/c we weren't going to be here too much and Hannah was one year old and was into everything. Not that this year she is not getting into everything but she understands a little better when you tell her to put the ornament back on the tree for the millionth time! (Can you tell this has already happened a lot!) So this year I was determined it was going to be very different and I was ready to start decorating the day after Thanksgiving (Adam not so much). Below are some pictures of us decorating our tree...which by the way I believe is the best looking tree we have ever had!







And here is the beautiful finished product...TA DA!



Also here are some pictures of our outdoor decorations...I love the one with the deep blue sky.







I even decorated the mail box this year!



So all that decorating got me in the holiday spirit and now we are off to Disneyland where we are going to get so much holiday spirit, see so many Christmas decorations, and have so much fun that I just cannot wait! Now let's just hope it doesn't rain too much!
