Josh excited about the Chew-Chew train.

Abby didn't like it when the caterpillar burped :)

Here's Abby on her favorite ride - the Ladybugs. You could ask her right now what her favorite part of Disneyland was and she will answer THE LADYBUGS! The ride is a lot like the teacups - they spin around fast and a lot! I went on it with her and I couldn't believe how fast it was. She had to sit on my lap because it was tossing her around. I had my arms around her and I could feel her laughing in her belly - it was so fun. She had a great ride!

disneyland!

We spent 1 day at Disneyland/California Adventure. It was a BUSY day but we got to do a lot!

Here we are when we first arrived.

The castle was decorated for Christmas - and everything else was, too. So pretty.

Josh waiting for me and Abby as we waited to get on Abby's first Disneyland ride ever -- DUMBO!

Her sweet little face -- she was so excited to ride Dumbo.

california!

The 3 of us took a mini-vacation to California. We had an AWESOME time. We surprised Josh's sister and girls the night we arrived. So fun! The next day we headed to Huntington Beach. We love it there. Abby got to play in the sand and in the ocean with Josh. That night, we met Chris, Lorella, Lesleigh and Carter for dinner. It was so good to see them!

christmas is coming

Abby helped me get the Christmas decorations up last week. She loves to look at and play with all of the ornaments.

starbucks

Yup - Abby loves Starbucks. Here she is enjoying some water and a croissant. I think she ate most of it herself. :)

macy's parade

The day after Thanksgiving the 3 of us headed to downtown Seattle for the Macy's Parade. We all enjoyed it!

our little pumpkin

For the first time in her life, Abby got to go trick-or-treating this year. She was so excited. The local businesses put on a little Halloween event the day before Halloween where kids could go from store to store getting treats. It was the perfect first-time for Abby.

Here she is getting ready to go. She was so excited and LOVED her costume.

Smiles!

Me and my little pumpkin.

Abby enjoying her treat from Starbucks -- free chocolate milk! Her favorite.

Cutie.

I think I should sell this picture to Starbucks. She is just so cute.

I really like this one -- Daddy + little pumpkin.

Ok - this is not a posed shot. We were walking around, and we came up on a bike rack. Abby says -- "OOHH! I need to stretch!" So she stopped and stretched her legs and arms. We were laughing! It was so fun. We had a great time as a family!
