Disney on Ice...Worlds of Fantasy

Tonight, we took in Disney on Ice. It was so cute to see the kids' faces light up whenever the characters would skate out. They had a Princess preshow that the girls enjoyed, although it was very crowded, so we didn't stay long. They loved wearing their halloween costumes again for the day! That was another perk!!! They were very good and attentive for the whole show. I was relieved to see that. This was our precursor to Disneyland. If this put a smile on their face...I can't wait until we get the "happiest place on Earth"!!!!


Mickey, Minnie and friends were the hosts of the show. Seth was happy to see the "toon car" that's featured on a pair of his underwear!

Tinkerbell and her fairy friends. Elaina said Tinkerbell was her favorite.

This was taken towards the end of the show. "Like father, like son". Seth was a little bored, I think.

Elaina seems happy...could it be all the popcorn?!?

Part of Tinkerbell. That sparkly fairy had the prettiest dress!

Simba and Nala at the end of Lion King. My kids never got into the Lion King, not for lack of my trying.

Here's a happier Seth! He did enjoy parts of the show!

The Little Mermaid. Ariel is in the middle.

Grace LOVED every part of the show, although she insists Lightning McQueen was her favorite.

The cast of Cars. Seth's favorite. Unfortunately, they weren't on nearly long enough.

Ahhhh....here was Seth's favorite of the night...Mater!!!

Which one is the real Cinderella???

Waiting for the show to start! See how excited they are!!!

Elaina's favorite princess dress. Guess who???

Last, but not least...Snow White's dress. Grace loves to dress up as Snow White on a daily basis!

Building Frosty

So, we can't escape winter! It just keep snowing. At least we were able to make our first snowman of the season today, as it wasn't too cold. The last time we made a snowman, it was only the kids and I. We were limited as to how big we could go. But today...Daddy was home!!! I made it our mission to build the biggest snowman on the street. Mission accomplished! He's at least 10 feet tall, and very handsome.

Working on the base of the snowman.

Seth and Grace starting the next section.

Packing in the middle section.

Daddy on his tippy toes, putting the head on...me praying it didn't roll off onto Elaina's head!

The finished product! We all love our new winter friend.

My Funny Valentines

We had a nice Valentines day. Not a holiday I typically care about, but everything is more fun with kids! The kids had a nice party at preschool and yesterday we went out for a nice dinner together. It was hard to choose a place that would be kid friendly on one of the biggest "romantic" date nights of the year! LOL!!! Sorry all you lovebirds out there!!!

Here are some pictures from their party at school:

The first 3 pics are of the kids playing a game. They had to blow tissue paper hearts across the room with their straws. It was a cute game, but some of the kids had a hard time with it. The last picture is one of the are projects Elaina did.













California Dreaming!

Merry Christmas!!!
