Happy New Year!!!

This Year for Christmas, Grandma and Grandpa Gubler gave the WHOLE family a chartered bus trip to Disneyland...hotel, and three day Hopper Passes included. We left on our bus early the morning of New Year's Eve and arrived in Anaheim about noon. We all had twin sweatshirts, so it was easy to find each other (everyone in the park knew us by the time we left!!) We spent the whole day and night there, and stayed till midnight to see the HUGE fireworks display. By Midnight, the park was shoulder to shoulder with people... from the front gates, to the back of Fantasy Land packed with people! We waited & waited...till finally at midnight we HEARD the fireworks, but couldn't see them due to the FOG that had set in!! So there we were with MILLIONS of people LISTENING to the fireworks for New Years!! It was hilarious! We spent the next two days working the system so we could get it all in...with stroller passes, fast passes, and single lines, we were able to do everything we wanted to do in three days!! The crowds were as bad as I have ever seen them, but we had a blast anyway...it's always fun to be with the whole family at the Happiest Place on Earth!! Our favorite ride this year was "Toy Story" over in California Adventure Park. We had never been on it before, and we all loved it! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the wonderful Christmas present, and Happiest New Year!!

Looks like you guys had a blast on your Gub's trip! So fun to see your pictures and read about it. Love your new blog wallpaper, but it's a little hard to read it in some spots. That's funny that you and your daughter both picked the same one! Sadie's birthday looked so fun too. What an absolute doll. Mmmm
