Disneyland/Becca's Birthday

I will try to keep this short and sweet but I write exactly how I talk and I have to explain every detail!!! We went to Disneyland last week we left on Sunday December 2 and came home late, late, late Wednesday night. We were coming home on Thursday but Lenny likes to fly (oops I mean drive fast) at night so the kids will be asleep and it is much more peaceful. So we got home in about 3& 1/2 hours. It was nice to be home when we woke up the next morning. We did 3 day park hopper and this is the first year they have made the Castle look like it is cover with ice and snow and big long icesicles it was stunning. I will get the picture from Amanda and post it...simply incredible. For Becca's birthday on Dec. 4 we had breakfast with Lilo and Stitch, however, Lilo was sick and could not be there. Goofy and Max and Daisy and Minnie and of course Stitch were all there and not very many people. Unfortuneatly, Ike had a fever and was not feeling well so he and Lenny dropped us off at breakfast and went back to the Hotel and Ike slept for a while and then felt a bit better and came and met us at Disney Land. He was a trooper, considering when Amanda took him to the Dr. when we got home he had strep. The girls had a blast with all the characters and Goofy sat down and pretended to eat Becca's breakfast. Then Stitch sat down and pretended to eat the rest of her breakfast. They giggled and ran around and got pictures taken and played with the charactors and had a blast. That was our 2nd day at Disneyland. We did all of both parks. If you click on the picture from the Tower of Terror look at Amanda (she looks terrified) and her 3 little kids are all loving it, flashing the hang loose sign and smiling. To get Papa Larry on that was a miracle and it was only to impress his grandchildren and he did it 3 times. I was in shock...he usually passes on those kinds or rides. We all love Soaring over California...it is quite the treat. You experience something you would never get to experience any other way. Oh, the way they end the evening in Disneyland with the fireworks and then snowing on main street accompanied with Christmas carols is a perfect end to a perfect day!!! We got to do that 2 of the days. This time of year they take turns which park stays open late each night. In California Adventure they had performances from "High School Musical" several times in the afternoon and evening...the kids loved it!!! I have got to watch those 2 movies, I have really missed out, they say!!! We did not get to do the new Nemo ride because we were not willing to wait that long in the line! They have done some awesome changes in Pirates of the Carribean which include Jack Sparrow. Well, Ta Ta For Now Love Ya!!!
