As with the past two year, Brett's company held their End of the Year Party at Disneyland. We love this tradition and hope that it continues for a very long time. The last two years it has been raining on the day we went, which is awesome because it is less crowded, but it was nice to have better weather this year so that the shows weren't cancelled.
With me being pregnant this year, I was the runner to go get "fast pass tickets" (tickets for later in the day to ride the rides without waiting in the normal line). We were able to get on the first few rides rather quickly and then with fast passes we were able to ride everything we wanted, some more than a couple of times! Brett's brother Brian went with us with his two boys and my sister Debbie came along to be another sent of hands to help with the kids. It was an awesome day, full of fun memories!

We got scammed into doing this canoe ride (not sure it's exact name) over by Splash Mountain. We thought it would be fun, but really it was just work. Just in case anyone is wondering next time they go if they should do it.

The kids also had the opportunity to do a little Jedi Training. Spencer, Grayden, Bailey and Tanner all got picked to be a part of it. There was a short "training" in the beginning, and then they each got a turn to fight one of two characters. Great experience and worth the time if you have any Star Wars fans.

All in all is was a fabulous day and we wore the kids out. We stayed for fireworks and Fantasmic and then headed out of the park. You know it is a great day when the kids are out when you arrive home!

LOVED seeing this pictures! THanks for taking some of my kids too - Brian told me that you were an absolute champion and that because of your running around, the day was amazing! Thanks again for ALL you did for our family during those two weeks! We miss you guys!
