Disneyland Day 1

Mom and Dad surprised us all with a Disneyland family reunion trip!

It was so much fun to be able to enjoy the magic all together.

 We had such a truly amazing day!

New Year's Eve

We partied hard on New Year's Eve with the fam. The cousins had a blast, and Oakley kept saying "We're at a party!" and wrote down a list of things we need to have a party. I don't think we lived up to her expectations of streamers and balloons, but we did have every snack you can think of.

Here's to a great new year!

Sanford Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve with the fam-- we played in the snow, ate lots of good food and opened presents. It really felt like Christmas.

The Living Nativity

We spent our Saturday afternoon at a
live version of the nativity.
It was amazing-- it really was put together so well. We got to walk around to different stations and see parts of the nativity story acted out. They had a Bethlehem market street set up, and lots of animals to see too (including camels! We had never seen camels before in real life.. they're huge!).
It was perfect for the kids to visualize the story. The girls were so excited to find baby Jesus.

I think this will become a family tradition.
It was so nice to focus on the true meaning of this Christmas season.
