It's just a magical place.......

There is nothing like Disneyland during the holidays. I absolutely LOVE it! The decorations are breathtaking. Every detail is perfect. The tree on Mainstreet the castle with the snow, the Mickey wreaths throughout the park. Even the cotton candy is white like snow with red and green sugar sprinkled on it. The caramel apples are in the shape of a snowman wearing a Mickey hat of course. The parade with Mickey and Minnie ice skating and Santa with his reindeer. Small World with all of it's lights. Ohhh if I could only live there.

This trip, while planned, did not initially include a trip to Disneyland. It was a trip for another one of Kai's competitions. She had a competition in Burbank on the 14th and 15th. After talking to my friend Cristina, she and I decided that we would go a day early and go to Disneyland. It wasn't until after that planning that we realized that it would be the first day of the Holiday season at the park. We were even more excited.

Cristina's sister-in-law works at Disneyland and she goes every chance that she can get. Her brother Robert's wedding was Disney themed. I'll never forget that our table at the wedding was Twiddle Dee and Twiddle dumb. I have never met a couple that love Disney as much as them. Kim started working at the Disneyland hotel, and she worked her way up the ladder. Now she works at the Park and helps with the parades and the events. How lucky is she? She can tell you every detail about Disneyland right down to how many bathrooms it has. She even goes to the park on her days off. And, I'm even a little jealous of her because she and Robert have dined at Club 33 on numerous occasions. I would love to dine there at least once in my lifetime. Hopefully one of these days.

So, although we did not have dinner at Club 33, we did get to do a lot considering we were only there for the day. We saw the parade, the Small World light show and most importantly, we saw it snow on Mainstreet. And here comes a confession. I cried when it starting snowing. We were standing right in the middle of Mainstreet they lit up the huge tree in all white lights, Christmas music starting coming through the speakers and the snow started falling. When I turned to look at the castle, it to was lit up in all white lights, it was amazing. I couldn't help but shed a few tears. It really was magical.














I want to go back!!!!!

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start. 

Just how long has it been? A long, long time....

Not so much of a Blogaholic. I almost feel the need to change the name of my poor little blog. It has sat here deserted with no updates and no pictures. I think about it everyday, yet I can't seem to find the time to come back to it. My intention for my blog was to document so much of our days and lives. And yet, I have let months go by without one little entry. There is no way my mind can remember everything that has happened since my last post. So much missed. The majority of Kai's 8th grade year, and the majority of Nachito's 5th grade year. Not to mention how many holidays and important events I have missed. Trips and of course Birthday parties. Somehow I need to find the time to record these events, and even if I have to back date them, I will document them at some point. This week is a tough school week for the kids. AIMS testing for both of them. Today they both felt very good about how they did. Nothing much has changed in Kai's world. She still dances, still c...
