Disneyland...Again!

David got us into Disneyland yet again. Mason had a lot more fun this time around. He really loved driving the car on Autopia and of course the trains and boats.

Buzz Lightyear: after this ride Mason kept making the gun noise and he's been doing it ever since!

He really did not want a hat!

He's too busy driving to look at the camera.

The Monorail: Mason kept saying choo-choo!

Discovery Museum

We also went to the Children's Discovery Museum in Monterey. This place was really fun and had lots of things for the kids to do.

The only picture I could get of all of the kids.

Miniature golfing!

Riding the waves with Pirate Thaddeus!

Alice, Mason, and Violet

Tech Museum

Before we moved, Cindy came out for a visit. We took the kids to the tech museum in San Jose. They all had fun checking out all the exhibits and running around.

Of course, Mason loved this motorcycle.

Keeping their distance from each other.

Mason really wanted to get inside this electric car!

Gardening at Amanda & Joel's

While we were visiting Amanda and Joel this weekend, they were working on their garden. Of course, Max and Mason are all about digging in the dirt, so they jumped at the chance to help.

Daddy's hard at work, while Mason takes a break.

Trying to get to the top!

A huge pile of dirt...Mason's dream come true!

Checking out the daily chemtrails that ruin our clear, blue sky!

Everyone's hard at work!

Christmas!

On Christmas morning we woke up and opened presents. Then we drove out to my sister, Amanda's house where we played games and relaxed. Amanda made our traditional Danish Christmas dinner of Swedish meatballs and twice-baked potatoes. It was so good! What a great Christmas!

Waiting to open presents

Tearing into them!

All Santa brought him in his stocking this year were Hot Wheels cars. I think he would have been happy with just those because once he saw them, he forgot about everything else we got him and had to play with them immediately!

So excited about the cars and trucks!

Aquarium of the Pacific

My brother, David also took us to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. Mason loves fish lately, so this was the perfect place to take him. Thanks, Dave!

Watching the scuba diver

The scuba diver came over to say hi to Mason. He was a little freaked out and was trying to get away from him.

Checking out the fish

While we were waiting for the seal show to start, Mason was up in front checking them out. He was entertaining everyone. He kept saying "whoa" when the seals did tricks.

"Gar"

Disneyland!

The week before Christmas, Mason and I headed down to Orange County to meet up with some family. While we were there, my brother, David took us to Disneyland! It was Mason's first time there, and although he had a bored look on his face most of the time, I think he liked it. He will definitely be more into it when he is older. It was a great day and we had fun hanging out with David!

Anxiously waiting for Dumbo. He was the most excited about this ride, but when it started to fly, he was pretty scared.

Casey Jr. Train..."too, too!"

What a sweetheart!

I was really nervous to take him on Pirates of the Caribbean, but Mason was not scared at all and he actually quite liked it. This is a picture of his face as we are going down one of the drops.

Jungle Cruise...his favorite!
