Happy Holidays!



It's was sad to see Christmas end and the Durtschi's leave today. We had an awesome time with them here and were so glad to have spent our holiday with them.



The mountain of presents under the tree was almost embarrassing, but with girls this sweet how could we help ourselves?






Ella loved her retro pink kitchen and cooked up a storm. Rosabelle loved the exersaucer and her musical vanity and her other numerous presents.




Oh yeah, and the adults all got fun presents too. We got a few games and had lots of fun playing with Nae and Ben. Ben is the reigning Say What champ, but I am the Quiddler. DaNae remains our Guitar Hero, but Danny is planning some serious Wii training to lay the smack down next time we see them.

A highlight of the weekend for me was finally spending the spa gift certificate Danny gave me for my B-day and getting massages and facials with DaNae. It was so relaxing and It was nice to leave the kiddos in Daddy Day Care.

Then we heading off to the Happiest Place on Earth! We had so much fun at Disneyland. Ella loved Dumbo and the parade, she liked Nemo, but thought it was too loud. Danny and I took the girls home after dark and let DaNae and Ben stay so they could ride some rides since it was Ben's first Disneyland experience.







Ella and Rosabelle are the cutest cousin friends. If Ella didn't see Rosabelle she would walk around and ask "Where Rosabelle at?" and every time Rosabelle saw Ella she would light up and laugh.



But cuter than that was the budding bromance between Danny and Ben. Full disclosure, Ella is between them in this pic.



We hope everyone else enjoyed their Christmas. Happy New Year!

Oh goodness what a fun you must have had. I love the pic with Rosabelle in her pink jacket with that little tongue sticking out.

A great way to end the year. Happy New Year! I just don't see how it could get any better for you little family.

Bromance!! Seriously hilarious. We had such a great time. Thanks for everything. I second Ella in saying, "wanna go back Aunt Danielle's."
