Disneyland Trip Day 3: Disneyland!






























Yeah! Tuesday, December 7 was our day to visit the original and best park: Disneyland! Our friends, the Glaziers met us this morning for breakfast at the hotel and joined us for a day full of fun at Disneyland. We headed straight for Tomorrow Land, where the kids rode Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and Space Mountain, then the Finding Nemo Submarines and Autopia. It was non-stop riding from then on out. We opened the park at 9am and closed it down on the Matterhorn at 9pm. And, in between, we rode the Go-Coaster, It's a Small World, Thunder Mountain Railroad, Indiana Jones, The Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Winnie the Pooh's Adventure, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise and more, and many of these rides we rode many times Daniel and Benjamin loved Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain the best. Ethan loves the Haunted Mansion and Noah is a huge Pirates of the Caribbean fan! We were blessed with fantastic weather, light crowds and happy kids! What a magical day we had at Disneyland!

Bed Jumping!










It's a tradition for the Keller family to do some "Bed Jumping" whenever we stay in a hotel room. We invited the Nail boys to come over and join the fun!

Disneyland Trip Day 2: California Adventure


















Everyone woke up bright and early the morning of Monday, December 6. We met the Nails and the Fenders in our hotel restaurant for breakfast and then all 18 of us walked over to Disneyland! We decided to spend our first day at the California Adventure park. Our first ride was the biggest: California Screamin! It was hard to pull the big boys away from this huge thrill ride (which they rode 7 times!), but we finally did and then we did Toy Story Mania, the Carousel, Bugs Life Land, Soaring Over California, The Tower of Terror, the Golden Zephyr and the Symphony Swings. We ended our day by going back over to Disneyland to do Big Thunder Mountain at night. What a fun day!!!

Disneyland Trip Day 1: Traveling












On Sunday, December 5, we woke up early, ready for a six hour long car ride to Disneyland! First, we met our friends, the Nails, at Dunkin Donuts and we caravanned together to Anaheim. Once there, we checked into our hotel, walked around the Garden Walk and then headed to Downtown Disney for the evening.

Happy 8th Birthday, Benjamin!!






Our sweet boy, Benjamin is now 8 years old! This year, he celebrated his birthday on Thanksgiving Day! We spent the morning just hanging out as a family. Of course, we got KrispyKreme Donuts for breakfast. In the afternoon, we headed out to celebrate Thanksgiving. And, then at night, we cozied up for a family movie. Happy Birthday Benjamin!!!
