Our Christmas Vacation to California

Our trip to California was so much fun!! Of course we went to Disneyland first on our way our for two days- and had a blast. Then we headed out to my parents for Christmas. Every year the Monday before Christmas we act out the nativity scene and video tape it for family night. The kids have so much fun- even the adults.
