Mia's 119th

 
Ummmm Sally (Mia's port) could you not?? Be so sassy.


 
Well since Sally was being difficult...we went ahead and put an IV in Mia's hand...after all, it is NEW YEAR's EVE!!! Going out of 2014 with a bang - hospital style!!

 
It's always good to have a phone to keep you busy...


 
Have you ever held your life in your own hands??  (apart from being in God's hands - Always!) Mia has...seriously one of the bravest girls I know!


 
Whoever donated this blood...thank you. it literally saved Mia's life.


 
Look who stopped by to pass the time...Mia's big sis Ashley...and she was babysitting Mia's BFF Alex and her brother Gabe. Thanks guys for being SO sweet.


 
Good times...so thankful for visitors and friends who love on us.


 
Even Madi and Dad came to say hi!! So of course we had to get a family photo since we were all there - but minus Alyssa. Next time!!


 
Even Grandma came...so sweet...had to document that too, what a loving group!



Number 119 - on New Year's Eve - Done! Thank you God for this beautiful life, and all my girls beautiful lives. Blessed!

Disneyland

 
We literally haven't been to Disneyland as a family since 2006. Number one, for all 6 of us it's too expensive. How can any family go and have tons of fun without taking out a loan of some sort?? Number two, the last time we went...it was awful. Mia's ear drum ruptured and she was sick the whole time...no Bueno. We left early. We went so long ago that my older girls, Ashley and Alyssa don't even remember going!! What???! I have pictures to prove it!



Catching the shuttle bus to Disneyland...yay!


 
Here are the girls SO excited buying tickets...and Paul & Heather upgraded our tickets to a park hopper...way to exciting!!! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

 
Everywhere we went, wait...I have to take a picture!
 

 
Walking through downtown Disney....



First Ride...Space Mountain -
 
 
 
Photo Bomb!!! LOL
 
 
Hilarious!

 
Get me off this ride!!! haha!

 
Quick another family pic...in the most magical place on earth.


 
Ohhhh I love the Thunder Mountain Rail Road...one of my fav's!


These two were so excited!!
 
 
So was Matt...the poor people in front him...he was screaming so loud. Biggest kid ever!

 
Enchanted Tiki Room with our Newport Peeps...and Madison's foot behind Matt...what a stinker.


 
Star Tours was SO fun!!! Wow...


 
Time to hop over to California Adventure!!


 
Beautiful with the sunset...another family pic.


 
We love this group!


 
These girls ...I'm so glad they will have this memory of being together in DL. And I have this pic to prove it especially before Ashley graduates from High School.


 
Hair flip.


Mia and I were too scared to go on California Screaming (haha) so we sat and watched all the lights. It's so pretty at night time.
 
 
Hey Mickey!

 
It is just so pretty at Christmas time...it's the best time to go, love these girls.











 
One of the best rides ever is Cars!!! Oh my gosh...who knew they go so fast?!?!?



We were laughing so hard!!! Whoo!! Alyssa's driving...watch out!
 
 

Soaring over Cali - oops, wasn't supposed to take this pic, sorry!!!

 
Time for an ice cream and coffee break...you gotta love that they have Starbucks on the Cali side, yes!!


 
Umm, no. Matt and I waited below.



One of the last rides was Toy Story...they had so much fun!! One of the best trips to California yet, thanks Disneyland for giving us such great memories together!

My Birthday Wish - California

 
For my birthday...I wished to go to California...and maybe a quick trip to Disneyland. My awesome husband gave me a birthday card that said...get all your princesses ready...we're going on an adventure!!


 
We love our time spent in Newport Beach - some of our best family memories are there!


 
Brrrr...sunny but chilly in December. Love it!


 
My girls...


 
Time for a Christmas party!!


 
Newport Christmas Party with the Girls


 
The painter who painted the picture behind them came...


 
Sitting in the Tiki Room


 
Literally...the size of that pizza is insane!


 
Ohhh we love the Tiki Room at Pauls' house!



 
We brought Christmas presents for Cameron & Paul and made them open them up together.


 
Merry Christmas...it involves a Surf Board - of course!



Cold and Chilly ... but beautiful non the less.
 
 
Mia pondering how big the ocean is...
