Disneyland!

Family picture by the giant Christmas Tree
at Disneyland!
We went to Disneyland on Thursday.
We got there when the parade was starting, so we walked on a lot of rides that Jayden hadn't been on before. Here is Jayden and Dada on the Rockets.
We only waited for the Nemo ride for 10 minutes! Jayden loved looking at all the fish. He was so amazed by all the bubbles too!Jayden and Dada on AutopiaJayden is now tall enough to drive!Here is a picture of It's a Small World.
The lights are amazing!
Teacups!
Our little boy is getting so big!

It was "snowing" on Main Street. It's only foam,
but still very cool!

Here is a picture of the Castle decorated.
Pictures don't do it justice. It is so pretty!

Disneyland at Christmas Time is the best!
They had a fireworks show at 8pm. It was the first time Jayden had ever seen fireworks! He wasn't sure at first because of the loud noise, but then he was fascinated.
Can't wait to go again!

This past weekend Jayden spent the night at Gaga and Papa's house while Jamie and I went to a concert. My mom was in the process of decorating for Christmas.
Gaga had a Santa that was just Jayden's size. He carried it around everywhere he went. It had to be by his high chair, in the living room, beside the tub when he was taking a bath, etc. In the picture above, he is pointing to show Santa the lights on the tree.

I can't wait until he gets to sit on Santa's lap this year!
My dad reads the newspaper every night in his chair, so Jayden went and grabbed a paper to read, just like Papa.
Christmas is going to be so fun this year!

Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year!
Our Little Monkey had so much fun.
Jayden had his first Trick-or-Treating experience at
Uncle Mike and Aunt Bev's house.
Jayden and Selah
(I remember Selah coming to our house
when she was Jayden's age!)

He rang the doorbell and waited for Aunt Bev to answer.
Jayden and Auntie WendeeGrandpa and Grandma E drove out to share Jayden's 1st Trick-or-Treating Experience. It was fun to have them along.Next we went to Auntie Aimee and Uncle Tim's House!They already have their Christmas decorations up! Jayden had so much fun meeting Santa Claus! He is going to love Christmas this year.
He was mimicking Santa's fancy moves.Jayden and Baby CarterCarter looked so cute in his Tigger Costume!The Adams Family and Jayden Jayden has really never had candy, so he wasn't sure what to do with it. He played in it for a while. He knows what suckers are since we give him those when he gets his hair cut.I always make sure to see Ali on Halloween.
She looked so cute!
Nathan, Ali and JaydenChecking out the bucket Gaga and Papa gave him. Our final destination was Gaga and Papa's House. Gaga took Jayden Trick-or-Treating in their neighborhood (to friends) and we passed out candy there for the rest of the evening.
Leaving to go Trick-or-TreatingJayden was more interested in seeing all the pumpkins then getting candy.

They had a light up pumpkin with a cat on top.
