Where did January go? Wow, already one month down in 2011! It was nice to have the kids back in school and it was a busy month for both of them in school. Brianna had finals the third week of January and we just got her report card today. She had a great first semester! James was also busy in school, for how busy a pre-schooler can be in school! This month they had snow day, they bring in snow for the kids to play in and sled down. He had tons of fun. They had teddy bear day where they bring in their favorite stuffed toy. James brought in a stuffed Lightening McQueen of course! He had his "all about me" day. We had to make a poster board of James' favorite things to do. He picked out all his pictures and helped me decorate it. I should have taken a picture! He also had to answer some questions...He said he had 5 people in his family and named them all correctly. He said his favorite thing to do with Daddy is play cars and go to car shows. His favorite thing to do with Mommy is read. When he grows up; he doesn't want to grow up. And he is special because; I love you. So cute! When he brought in his board he had to share with the class, he was also able to bring in some toys for show and tell and a book. He really enjoyed showing his tractor and his cars to the class! They also made pizza this month at school which was very fun!
We were very excited to get Disneyland passes for Christmas this year! We think it is a great tradition and an easy non-thinking present for Nonni and Papa to get us! Since our old passes expired in April of 2010 and the last time we went was for Craig's Birthday December of 2009 I was really excited to take Jake since he was only a baby the last time. It would be a whole new world for him! I couldn't wait to see how he would react to the rides!
We started at Disneyland and decided to get on the train to take it over to the Autotopia, James was dying to go on that ride...his favorite! Jake was a little unsure about the train but did great! Much better than James!
After we went to Autotopia, which ended up being closed we went over to California Adventure since there are smaller rides over there and I wanted Jake to see the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show. James loved that show.
Wow what a day! As we were in line for Mickey's clubhouse that has technical difficulty and has to close! So we head over to the bug's world and go on a few rides over there.
Our first ride, on the caterpillar.
James loves this ride because he gets to drive!
Jake having a snack while waiting for Daddy and James to get off the ride.
James and I on the Ladybug
On Monster's Inc ride. James hated it, Jake liked it! James is our cautious kid, Jake is more of a dare devil.
Another highlight! Visiting with Mater and Lightening.
We were walking around and came across this playground area that we have never seen before! It was so cool all these things for the kids to run around and climb on! The boys loved it!
Of course James and I had to get cotton candy!!
And as we were leaving we stopped in this store in Downtown Disney and of course Craig had to try out this car game. Can't pass that up!
Since we have our passes back we are trying to take advantage of them as most we can! So two weeks later we were back at Disneyland! This time we went on the bigger rides. The rockets were the first up. Jake was very uneasy when he got on. This is one of James' favorites.
But when we got going Jake ended up liking it!
Then I took James over to Autotopia while Craig decided to take Jake on Toy Story. Jake loves that movie and since James is scared of the ride and Jake is too little to go on Autotopia we thought it would be a good idea. Well it was a little scary for Jake. Don't think we will be doing that ride for awhile.
James on Autotopia driving his car, he needs some driving classes!
Next we went on Dumbo and it was pretty much the same experience as the rockets!
Minnie Mouse was going backstage and we stopped for a visit before she left. Jake is my only child that didn't scream his head off when we saw her. Brianna cried, James won't even get out of the stroller, and Jake didn't know how to react, smile, laugh or cry. He kinda did a nervous laugh, I asked him if he wanted to say hi and he did from his stroller. When we got close he didn't want to get near her! I don't blame them...a huge mouse who wants to get close to that!
We have had a good January and can't wait to enjoy our passes more throughout the year!
