Disneyland Day 1

Momo and Papa spoiled us all with annual Disney passes this year. They completed the gluttony of spoiledness with a three night stay too…..we ALL were so excited.

Better late then never….

Even though Christmas seems like a million years ago I am finally getting around to blogging it.  We continued many of our same traditions……with the first being Christmas Eve at Momo and Papa’s house….

and Momo’s tradition of matching pj’s…

before we let the kids open presents, we require a group shot.  never successful but done year after year….IMG_0521

the  one thing that Drew really wanted was football guys….specifically Drew Brees wearing a white shirt. Rin Rin came through.IMG_0530

More football guysIMG_0538

and Luke was thrilled with all his Star Wars gear.  But the best present of all was Momo and Papa’s gift to the family…..Disney annual passes (and a vacation there the following week)  To say the boys were excited would be an UNDERSTATEMENT IMG_0541

Christmas morning…. Luke’s kinder gift to usIMG_0554
