December in San Diego Part 1

DISNEYLAND!

It's the best time of the year to go- not only are the lines short and it "snows" twice a day, but the Haunted Mansion is still decked out with "Nightmare Before Christmas" and the park is transformed into Christmas-theme. Hayden had fun with Uncle Rob and Auntie Alex!

Hayden loved Pirates!

December in San Diego! Part 2

Wow! We did a lot this month! Here is more!

December Lights at the Wild Animal Park!

It was pouring rain but it actually made it that much more fun. We were all bundled up ready to go and we didn't let it rain on our parade.

The lions loved Hayden...wonder why? =)

Saturday afternoon at the Midway!

Managed to fit in a photo shoot for Hayden. 

He was called again to shoot for "Shilav."

This was him from the last shoot 6 months ago? I guess he was on their shopping bags and everything! Too bad we don't have the store here!

Having fun in between outfit changes. He had like 10!

Gingerbread House Fun! 

Hayden had more fun eating it than putting it together! Isn't that the point? We do have some missing pieces of candy...

Searching for the perfect Christmas Tree....

We found it!

Loaded and ready to go home!

Christmas in the Village

Downtown La Mesa Blvd. with Miss La Mesa and Miss Teen La Mesa. 

We didn't know he was going to be THIS scared!

Scaredy cat! Ricky and I thought this was just too cute. Don't worry, we got the pictures and comforted him quickly. He was good to go in a matter of seconds.

Christmas on the Prado  

Christmas at the Hotel Del Coronado!
