Just a few more Disney...






Yes, Jonathan is driving, the stranger cut off Denise, the castle after it is lit, Grumpy, and Teacups.

More Disney...





Disneyland now has a "Jedi Training Academy" interactive show, which involves many of the kids in the audience. Needless to say, Jonathan was VERY excited to be involved. He got to put on a cloak, wield a lightsaber, and fight Darth Maul. Quite riveting.

Disneyland






Dad K took us all to Disneyland on Friday. We had a great day riding the rides, seeing shows, and hanging out. It was busy, but we took advantage of Disney's FastPass system and hit a good number of rides. We got to the park right at 8 AM when it opened and most of us didn't leave until after 9 PM. Needless to say, we slept well!

Random Fun





Happy Vinny, stories, gingerbread houses, and a Clipper game.

Christmas Day




Presents. Chaos. Fun. Duplicate gifts for dad, both the wrong artist. Oops.

Family Pics






After church on Christmas Day we took a few family pics. It is tough to get 18 people all smiling at the same time!

Downtown






We took a family trip downtown on the train and did a little walking tour which included Olvera Street, the Wells Fargo Museum, the Disney Music Hall, a large Catholic cathedral, an a few other spots along the way. A very fun day.

Wii




Yes, we got a Wii and brought it to our little reunion. Susie showed her bowling prowess while Eric and Todd worked up a sweat with a little boxing.

Home for Christmas






Before heading up for a little K-family reunion, we opened a few gifts at home as a family. Needless to say, the kids loved their gifts!

Haircut


Not exactly a Christmas picture, but a good example of a haircut group-effort.

Christmas Pics - Many to come...


We start Christmas pics with Christmas lights. We hit Naples for a little light-looking along the canals in the high-rent district. Chilly!

Snow Video




Snow Day





We joined some good friends in the mountains last weekend for a little sledding and some cozy cabin time. After some quality snow play, Emma and the little girls played school. Emma, of course, took charge of the classroom.

Christmas Program - Video!


Here's a quick clip of Meg's program. Enjoy!

Christmas Program




Meg was the third of our kids to go through the First Steps Christmas program, a wonderful concert that is never longer than 20 minutes. Some of her buddies include (left to right) Jenna, (Meg), Ashley, Emily, and Ryan.

Knotts





J and I had a boys outing to Knotts Berry Farm. We played on bumper cars, went up the Sky Room (yes I went up that thing), saw a wild west stunt show, and hit a couple of full-size roller coaster. J figured out that he likes coasters with loops. We had a great day.
