John came to Disneyland with us for a few hours before heading into work (BOO!). We all did some Fantasyland rides together, and I loved hanging out together as a family.
Mid-week visit with Sienna and Arthur. When he woke up, we visited the Tiki Room, which he LOVED.
And then we saw Minnie and Daisy in an explosion of cuteness.
Warning: Cutest video ever. Our whole family in a teacup, and Arthur meeting Minnie and Daisy.
I got to see Maggie play with all the other fourth graders in the Winter Concert. Music is required in her school, which I think is awesome. Fourth graders can choose strings or chorus, and she plays viola.
We have had a LOT of rain over the past week or two. We had a crazy rain Disney morning on Friday, then a perfectly nice, sunny Saturday, then an insanely rainy Sunday. These first pictures were actually earlier in the week, there was some swift water in the creek, and Sienna wanted to throw in pinecones. We gathered bucketful after bucketful and tossed them in.
On Friday, we did the same again with our neighbors, in a break from the rain.
Sunday afternoon, the creek had risen even more and was moving so fast!
Here's my instagram story video of the pinecone excursion, as well as the kids playing on the slide.
I took Sienna and Arthur to Disneyland for a few hours on a really rainy Friday morning. I was recreating our fun rainy January visits when we lived in Utah (our/we not including Arthur or Sienna). We were only there less than two hours and got pretty wet, but it was worth it. Absolutely no wait for rides, and we saw lots of fun characters.
All suited up!
Arthur enjoyed everything but the stroller's rain cover.
I wore him in the sling, zipped under my rain coat, when he wasn't in the stroller.
Absolutely no one at the princess Royal Hall.
Sienna has never heard of Princess Elena, but found out she has a pet jaguar, so obviously, she's alright.
Arthur loooves his furry friends. We saw Pluto, Daisy, Mickey and Minnie, Pluto again with Goofy, and Mickey and Minnie again.
He was dying over Mickey and Minnie together, couldn't decide who he wanted to see most!
I put this photo of Mickey and Arthur on my phone's lockscreen and Arthur loves it.
Here's a video of Sienna splashing around Disneyland, and Arthur dancing with Daisy.
I sorted through, merged, and uploaded dozens of videos from 2010-2012. The first video is 2010-2011, from when we stayed with John's parents, through our time in India. Includes Dalton learning to walk and talk, and name letter sounds.
This video is from 2012, mostly the kids talking about Disneyland. I like how Dalton has a variety of bumps and bruises on his head as the year progresses.
Individually, here are two I especially wanted to save.
Maggie and Dalton dancing to their new Handy Manny toolbox. (2010)
