More Disney Holiday Fun

Went to Disney today to try and get some Santa photos. While Jeric and Zoë waited in line, I went to get us some line passes. On my way to the green umbrellies, I couldn't help but snap these adorable photos of the drummer boys all around.


When I got back, they were still in line. Zoë was sitting up top one of the stone pillars and she looked so adorable.

The deco on the pillar was pretty too, so couldn't stop myself from snapping a photo of that too.

And here is our cutie with Santa Clause!



And here she is with one of the drummer boys.

While walking towards Buena Vista St, I spotted this awesome Mickey Head Poinsettia!

I totally want one of these displayed at our future house during the Holidays. Hahaha.

Before heading over to Disneyland we hung out near the Fiddler, Fifer and Practical Cafe where Zoë picked out a sweet treat. She ended up with a Minnie Mouse Caramel Apple.


We then saw Donald and she wanted a picture so we got in line. Of course, these tourists took FOR-EVEEEEER! And it wasn't the photos they took with Donald that was upsetting. It was the pictures that the had him take with their stuff animals. Yah, no people, just their stuffed animals. That ended up taking far too long and I can't believe the workers!! They stopped allowing anyone to take photos with Donald normally right when it was Zoë's turn. They only allowed Donald to go down the line quickly and take selfie's. She a TODDLER!!!!! She doesn't know how to take a selfie. He just hugged her real quick and went down the line. The family behind us also had a really young toddler and were just as upset as us. Way to go DISNEY!!!! Breaking kids heart is your M.O. these days. Like, are you serious? You allow photos with a stuffed animal and then turn away toddlers? I just don't get it.

Anyhow, here is the only pic we got that day.

And right after Donald hugged her and went to the next kiddo. Zoë just stood there staring after him.

Well, that was that. Off to Disneyland! And another photo opp in front of the tree. She posed this time too! Hahaha.

We then hung out for a bit and watched the Dapper Dan's perform some holiday tunes.

And now it's time for Dinner!

Santa Came!

We wanted to start off this year with Zoë's first Santa experience so when she fell asleep last night, I got all the gifts ready for her and Dada got a mini tree to put in our bedroom. We really wanted her to wake up on Christmas Day super surprised and excited.

When she finally woke up, she didn't quite go as crazy as we thought she would. I think she was still sleepy actually because we actually woke her up rather than waiting for her to wake up on her own. Look at her laying down even though she wanted to go down to see all her presents.

Then, she slowly got up and just sat up and stared at her presents. Hahaha.

Eventually she got into it and started opening gifts!


And then came even more fun! Opening the toys so she can play. We started her off with just a few small ones since we needed to get ready for the Samoza Christmas party. She decided on opening her hatchimals.

She sure did have a bit of a struggle while trying to "hatch" her eggs. Hahaha. But when she got it, she was so excited!


Check out her hatchimals!

Merry Christmas baby girl, may you always believe in Santa!

SANTAAAAAA

Finally able to visit with Santa! We headed to CA Adventure tonight so that we can have Zoë meet Santa. While waiting in line, we coached her on what to ask Santa for and she was so ready! Of course, when she actually sat with Santa, all that coaching went out the window. Hahaha. She froze up and got all shy. Luckily though, she didn't cry or whine.

And here we all are!

We then headed over to Disneyland to try and ride It's a Small World again. When we got there though, Zoë spotted Mickey Mouse and wanted a picture. How could we not indulge in baby girl's wishes?

And, I'll end this Disney post with a gorgeous shot of the Disney Castle all lit.
