Christmas Day and our time at Grandma GG's

Christmas day was spent playing the WII, eating more food, and enjoying our family. We had a wonderful turkey dinner, and stuffed ourselves like usual.

The day after Christmas my parents found 3 babysitters to come to the house and watch the kids while we all went out to dinner at a restaurant called Simons in Sacramento. You bring in your wild game, or fowl, in the morning and when you come back in the evening he has it all prepared for you. It was delicious. We had venison and duck, and I have never had it so good. It was also nice to have an adult night out without all the kids and craziness.

The next day Roy, Cody and their family left, plus Heather, Aaron and their 2 kids, so the house became much quieter. We went to church then had a nice relaxing day to recoup before we left the next morning for Disneyland. We decided to stay at Grandma's that night so we put the kids to sleep on the living room floor. I'm not kidding, there was a T.V. going, and people talking through half the night, and our kids were so tired that they fell asleep by 7:00, and didn't wake up until well after 8:00 the next morning. They were so tired, but much happier the next day.

We left Monday morning for Disneyland, with two very excited kids. Claire made up a song that went something like, "I'm going to Disneyland and I'm so excited, yeah, yeah, yeah." They didn't quite understand that we still had a long drive ahead of us, and wouldn't be going to Disneyland that day. They did get to see the fireworks as were getting into our hotel room, so that made them very excited for things to come.
