Disney

We took our annual Christmastime trip to Disneyland earlier this year, in an effort to avoid the extreme crowds. Alec had been begging to go for the last 3 months, so the anticipation for him was quite the build-up. We cut the trip shorter-to just 2 days and added in a character breakfast. First thing in the park, he demanded the Buzz Lightyear ride. Also, I have proof of Paul's sense of humor:

With no prompting from anyone Alec is somehow able to look everywhere BUT at the camera during family shots:

James was super-smiley, I see another Disneyland fan in the making here:

The character breakfast at the Plaza Inn was wonderful! The food was amazing and the characters each took the time to visit our table and spend time with the boys. Alec was SO happy and it meant no waiting in lines around the park to get pictures with the characters.

James hated the full costumed characters (takes after his granny) and actually cried when Eeyore came to see him. He did, however, enjoy the humans, like the Fairy Godmother:

Alec kept his 3-D glasses on for most of the Muppet Show!

Since my family met up with us on the second day, Paul and I were able to do some adult rides together, which is so nice! Here we are in line for Indiana Jones:

Even after just two days Paul and I were beat. But, it's so magical still for Alec and I love that!
