Christmas Trip to Disneyland Part 1 - Pictures to and from

12-20-14  We began our two day trip to California early Saturday morning with lots of things to entertain Jacen with.  We bought an iPad mini for games and movies, and I printed lots of car games.  He did very well for such a long trip!
I also took pictures of the scenery along the way!
We stopped at the Wigwam Motel long enough to take pics.  We were looking for any sites close to I40 that had inspired Cars the movie and Cars Land at Disney's California Adventure on Route 66.  This is one we found without going too far off our planned trip :)  The teepees turned into orange cones in the actual movie :)

December Pics Part 3

12/16/14 After school, we met Daddy and went to the cemetery to decorate a tree for Nathan as well as read books, sing children's songs, and pray.  Jacen helped decorate the tree this year and sat with me while I read books that I used to read to both boys.  We cherish the memories of our precious Nathan but still miss him everyday.
Next, we went to Santa Land to enjoy time with Jacen!!!!
12/18/14 Jacen's Kindergarten Christmas Party
I was able to go for a little bit.  At one of the stations, they made Christmas tree pictures frames!
 They also did an ornament exchange during the party!
 Love him!!!
 They played a game called "Stuff the Santa".  It was cute :)
 Mrs. Dowgar and Jacen after she gave them a handmade ornament and Christmas book.  She is an awesome teacher!!!!
