La Jolla Seabass BIG ONE

Well, yesterday was a great day. I went out of San Diego as a media person with some guys I know from Pure Fishing, which is a huge company in the sportfishing industry. I ended up getting probably my biggest fish I have ever caught – a 62-lb. white seabass.. I did a write up at this link here:

DisneyLand


Not much to say here but that we have hopefully started a new tradition of going to Disneyland on Christmas Eve or as close to it as we can get. It all started when the Crose-Dwiggins family came out to spend Christmas with us in 2006 and we planned to go to DL on Xmas eve. We had never been during that time so I think we were all excited to see the decor and different parades and fireworks and snowfall they put on for that time of year. Little did I know I would fall in love with the place at Christmas time and want to go back every year to see it. Hopefully everyone can come experience the magic of DL during the holiday season with us some year. There is nothing like it. Here are the pics from 2007's trip.

Christmas with the mouse

Mackie and Sleeping Beauty~ Thank Goodness we got to see her~ We stood in line for an hour and a half and she was the only one Mackie really wanted to see. Someone was on our side that day!

It's a small world ~ Really cool during the holidays

Daddy and Mackie~ It's a small world! I don't know why she has that face but it makes me smile everytime I see it.

Us~ trying to take a shot of ourselves~ Not too bad

The snow that was supposed to fall~ too windy so it never acutally made it down.

Brandon and I with our snowless non existing fireworks! Thank goodness Mackie was out at this point.

The Castle so beautiful at night.

Main Street with all the lights and the huge Christmas tree at the end! Aww! How I want to go back already!

Still Trying to Catch Up

Of course I have been slacking already. I've been meaning to post our December activities and still haven't got to it. So I am going t try and double up till I get caught up. :)

First off is McKayla's Christmas recital. I am not sure if we told you about last years recital. McKayla would practice ALL the time at home and when it came down to the big day spent she spent the whole night crying in the teacher's lap. We felt so bad and wanted to get her but the teacher's kept giving us the look like "it's alright"~ She was the ONLY one crying and it lasted the ENTIRE night.

So this year rolls around and here she is practicing at home all the time and knows all the songs by heart. Brandon and I were a little afraid she was going to get stage fright again but she did great and sang her little heart out. We were so proud!


Aww! Mackie!
Our sweet "Angel"

Singing her little heart out!
