Yet Another Disney Trip

Yes, we went again. Yes, I have more pictures. And yes, we had a ton of fun, as always! Rylann and Tristan are not the only Disney freaks in this family.

A teething Tristan and Daddy ride Dumbo...

again...

and again. This is obviously Tristan's favorite ride.

Snow Rylann

Finally, someone else is taking the pictures!

Snow Rylann in line. Yes, even princesses need to wait their turn.

What a cutie!

Rylann samples Goofy's cooking.

Happy Valentine's Day

Just pretend that these aren't late, okay? For me?

Hope your day was great!

Randomness

The title says it all. Random pictures of random moments.

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was a blur of happy faces, laughter, and flying wrapping paper. Both kids got tons of presents, including a drum for Tristan and the Cinderella baby doll that Rylann begged Santa for. The mall Santa had told her that such a thing did not exist when she asked for it. He has no idea the damage control I had to do after that comment. Silly Santa.

Finding the beat.

Little Drummer Boy

Rylann with her latest fave Disney princess, Sleeping Beauty.

Tristan certainly enjoys the way the box looks.



Rylann got ANOTHER doll in her stocking.

Tristan got the hang of unwrapping quickly.

Beware of a baby on a Christmas present high.

Tis the Season

The following is a collection of Christmas themed shots of Rylann and Tristan, taken over a series of days. Although taking a picture of two kids together and happy is a daunting task, it wasn't a problem this year. Such a change from last year, when I had to photoshop a smiley Tristan head over a sad Tristan head to make a decent Christmas card. Indeed.

A Day at Sea World

We took a quick trip to Sea World; thank goodness for annual passes. Rylann was obsessed with pushing Tristan around and trying to hold his hand while walking. Tristan was having a fit of independence however, and strongly resisted. They both really enjoyed the tidal pools, especially picking up the starfish.

Tristan spots his opening...

and asserts his independence.

Again, Rylann showing love while Tristan tries to escape.

Rylann makes her selection...

and look how proud she is!

Rylann Turns 4....again!

Since our family could not join us at Disneyland, we made plans to have them join us at Rylann's second favorite place on Earth. Chuck E. Cheese! Yayyyyyyyy! I apologize for the lack of pictures, but the kids were hard to photograph in action, what with their speed, and the amount of time I spent Purelling them down.

Rylann is overwhelmed by the greatness that is Chuck E. Cheese.

Tristan off to hustle air hockey.

Taking lessons from his uncle.

I think this might be a candidate for the Cake Wrecks blog.

But Rylann likes it!

Making her wish and blowing out her second candle.
