Saturday, we all went to the Zoo to see Santa. They did a new thing this year that lasted about 2 hours and it was really neat. I was wishing I hadn't bought tickets, but now I'm so glad we did. Cameron got to meet a reindeer, which he thought was so cool! Then, we went into this decorated room where we had hot chocolate and punch. The kids decorated an ornament and looked at all the neat things in the room. Mrs. Clause came out and gave everyone a snowman shaped cookie and then we sang some Christmas carols. I know, it sounds cheesy as can be, but Cameron was smiling the whole time and had a lot of fun! When we sang "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," he came in the room. They called us by tables to do pictures and gave us pictures of the kids with Santa. Cameron asked for the car, Boost, from the movie. We can't find it anywhere, we are now bidding on E-Bay for the thing. He thought he'd get it right then and wanted to know where it was. It was funny. I didn't think Cam would get on Santa's lap. There were other young kids crying and I was going to put them on his lap, crying or not really quickly, but both kids did great. We had to take them off his lap.
Later, they brought in a penguin that the kids could look at up close and Cam loved that too. He said the penguin was 'beautiful.' Then, we went on a safari....the kids had to go to 7 stations in different buildings and get a stamp there. At each station they had an animal out that they could learn about and touch. It was really neat and Cameron was pretty excited about it.
We took the kids on a walk to our Elementary School so they could play on the equipment. So, Erin and I took a picture of us by the sign....this is us 20 years after we went to school there. Crazy!
My parents got us tickets and took us to Disneyland for Christmas. We went on Christmas Eve and surprisingly had a lot smaller crowd than we were expecting. The beginning was a little hard for Cameron to get used to having to wait and what we were doing, but once we got going, we all had a great time. Trevor loved seeing all of the people and all of the sights!! He hardly blinked when we were on rides, he was so excited. He laughed and waved his arms around how he dances. It was so cute! He also LOVED Mickey Mouse!! He couldn't stop touching his nose and he also gave him kisses. Cameron said hi to Mickey and was happy to see him, but didn't say too much, then waved bye-bye. Cameron enjoyed going on rides...some he really liked, others not as much. Trevor had a few naps, Cameron finally fell asleep during one of the rides and slept for a good couple hours. We thought he'd love the parade, but he fell asleep right before it and we weren't about to wake him up since we were staying late. We were there about 12 hours and got on more rides than I can count. Zach and I were able to go on a bunch of rides that the kids were too small for too. Our favorite was Splash Mountain. It was getting cold when we went, but no one came off the ride with more than a few water drops. Not the case for me!!! I had hardly a dry spot on me, so I had to buy some Mickey pj's to wear home because my jeans were way too wet and cold to make it another 4 hours. Regardless, it was fun. The kids both passed out on the way home and we all are a little sore today (my arms mostly from carrying sleeping babies and stuff). 
We have arrived!! Saturday was a very long day, but all in all the kids did great on the airplane. Both boys have been completely entertained with the toys that are here. It's always nice to have new toys to play with. My mom borrowed some things from a friend so they had things for the two weeks we would be visiting. Cameron has really enjoyed playing on the boulders at the bottom of our driveway. My sister and I used to play on these all the time when we were kids. Ah, it makes me feel old!! Trevor is taking steps to go between things, but still falls after a few steps. Slowly but surely...he's almost there!! I got him a new pair of shoes that he can walk in so that he has something to wear outside now.
Last weekend we got together with our friends that have two kids about the same age as ours. It was so neat to see them play. Trevor has never been around someone his age and he was so excited. They were very cute together! It's always nice to get together with friends.
