Disney on Ice, CHLA, Disneyland

On December 14th, we went to see Disney on Ice. I honestly am not sure who enjoys this more: me or Hudson. I remember going as a kid and love that I now get to share the experience with my sweet, little boy. I get a little teary-eyed watching his eyes light up as he excitedly watches the show. We had such a great time and even Luc enjoyed parts of the show (when he wasn't snoozing). As we were walking in we bumped into Joyce Sharmin, Nancy, Cindy, Lorin, Theresa, Jim and all their kids so that was really fun. 

After Disney on Ice, we went to Rachelle and Brandon's house. They put together a wonderful volunteering opportunity for us to participate in. Along with a few other families, we sponsored a family from Children's Hospital Los Angeles. We were given a wish list and between all of us, we were able to give the family almost every item they requested. Rachelle invited us over to drop off our gifts and help with wrapping everything. We had a lot of fun and it felt so good to do something charitable. I hope this will be something we can help with every year.

Straight from the Bell's house, we were off to California Adventure for our annual dinner and World of Color holiday show. We made plans to meet up with Brenda, Craig, Tim, Lindsay, Brooke and Gracie so when we arrived we had to race over to Cars Land to meet everyone for a group photo. 

Then we were off to Wine Country Trattoria for dinner. We planned it perfectly so the parade was going by while we ate. After dinner, we took turns going on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree with Hudson. Then we went on the Little Mermaid Ride before heading in for World of Color. 

I absolutely love the holiday version of this show. There is tons of Frozen, a jingle bells sing a long and my personal favorite the Toy Story Nutcracker Suite. 

We had so much fun and Luc was such a trooper. It was a long day even for us adults and both boys were really good all day and seemed to really enjoy everything.
