Drenched at Disneyland!

We had a trip up to Disneyland planned for January and when we saw that the two days we were planning on being there called for a 100% chance of rain...we thought, why not?  What else are we going to do?  So we went...with hopes that the rain would scare away the masses.  Well, it was still crowded...but not crazy and we had so much fun!  It ended up being a great way to spend a rainy day!

 Decked out in our ponchos...ready for some rainy day fun!

 Fun aboard the riverboat!

 Waiting for Sloane's favorite...the Tikki Room!

And...her first time riding Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!

We closed out day one with another of Sloane's Favorites...It's a Small World...still decked out for the holidays!

 We hit up California Adventure on day two...which included a visit with Lightning McQueen...

 ...and Arendelle...with real snow...

...and a hug from Olaf!! Sloane was so excited to meet her friend from Frozen!

First Day of Preschool!

Sloane started preschool in January and was so excited to be going to school like a big girl!  She goes two mornings a week.  The best part...the school is literally a block down the street from our house! We walk to and from school each day and Sloane loves that she can see her house from her school!

 Walking down the hill to school!

  Both Mommy and Daddy were there for first day drop off!

This picture was taken after a successful first day!  

Christmas 2015

Christmas this year was so much fun!  To watch the magic come to life through the eyes of a two year old was so special!  Sloane loved waiting for Santa...and then seeing his handiwork on Christmas morning!  We also shared some special times with family and friends!

 Christmas Eve was at Mimi and Cupka's House...Sloane was already highly anticipating the next day

 She still loves rocking on the horse Cupka made for her for Christmas last year!

 Hanging out with Pappa after dinner.

 When we got home...we had to put cookies out for Santa...

 ...and put Santa's key on the door since we don't have a chimney.

 ...and, of course, a carrot for Rudolph!

 Christmas morning!  As you can see...it is still dark outside...needless to say Sloane was very excited and decided not to sleep in!

 After checking out all of Santa's goodies we headed over to Cupka and Mimi's house for some more Christmas fun!

 This year Cupka made Sloane her own wooden train:

 Aunt Krisanne and Uncle Gene were there too!

 Sloane was so excited to get a backpack for when she starts school!

Then we went outside to play with some of her new toys!

 We had lots of fun at Pappa and Nonna's house for Christmas Dinner...and Sloane got even more goodies...including this new bike!!

 She was VERY excited!

 "Cheersing" with Daddy and Pappa in the wine cellar

 The day after Christmas, Mommy ran a half marathon and Sloane came to the finish line to cheer her on!

 Bike riding fun!

Merry Christmas from the Three Vioras!
