Christmas Vacation in January
For Christmas this year, we planned a Disneyland trip with our 5 oldest children. Santa brought them coal. Not because they were naughty, but because it was their very first clue to the scavenger hunt we planned to let them know they were going to Disneyland. Coal = furnace. The surprise ended in our coat closet. Britten was so excited! We never told he he wasn't coming. But we didn't let him know when we went either. One day he'll see the pictures and wonder where he is in them. We'll break the news then. We did bring him back some cute Toy Story figurines that he plays with daily. It' almost the same, right? Our first day in California we spent at Laguna Beach. It's right off the Pacific Coast Highway. The weather was 78 and breezy. It was a perfect day! We never really got in the water because we were searching tide pools for live creatures. We found fish, crab, and birds. It was so neat to just watch them. Our own little adventure ...
