home again

Well we survived our trip to Disneyland! When planning the trip we had big ideas of going to Legoland and Catalina Island, but it was a different story once we were down there. All the tours are 12 hours and Zander sitting on a bus for 4 hours everyday that wasn't going to happen! So instead we took it easy and just went to disneyland for 8 days and then spend the other days hanging by the pool, and shopping! I really enjoyed the shopping part of the trip and once again spent way to much money on Zander at the outlet mall - he will be very well dressed this summer! Zander really enjoyed disneyland, it was so different from last year when he slept through everything! His favorite rides were pinochino and pirates of the caribeane - infact on the last day when you drop 20 feet in the dark he would put his arms up in the air! (which of course scared me a little and I made sure to hang on tight!) He was fascinated by the characters, his favorite was chip and dale, we saw them at a character breakfast we went to and he cuddled with them and gave them kisses and really enjoyed biting their noses! They were great they probably spent 10 minutes just with him! Zander didn't care for the princesses this time, I think it was because they didn't have fuzzy faces he could pet! Zander was great on the plane rides, the only time he got mad was when we wouldn't let him down to crawl:)
We are all very happy to be home, 2 weeks is a long time, especially when Zander would only sleep if he was in bed with us - a habit we are now breaking! It was nice to go to sunny warm weather but it was really nice to feel the cold, although after seeing the huge snowbank that is behind our van I'm not to sure I'm still enjoying the snow! Hope everyone is doing well.
