My niece is so excited about Christmas this year, it kind of got me in the spirit as well. I even went to the store and got some decorations which is a first haha. One thing that will be especially exciting is my nephew will be here! I can't wait to see his reaction Christmas morning:) I hope everyone is having fun with the Christmas season as well!

Well another Halloween has passed and it was another year of no trick or treaters. I don't know why I even buy candy anymore:(. Actually Halloween was completely uneventful this year, but luckily I did have some visitors before and after to make it fun! My cousin was Wonder Woman

And my niece a witch

Actually I don't think she was for Halloween but she dressed up as one for a picture!

Afterwards I got to see my cousin again and ask her about the candy she got and here is her response :) You believe what you will, but I say she is under the influence of some sort of sugar

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!!!

Despite the fires, this past week turned out really nice, thanks to a visit from my sister and two nieces. As always with Family visiting we went to Disneyland which was extra special this time because they had decorated the park for Halloween! The Haunted Mansion was definitely the highlight, with the entire ride and building redone to the theme of "Nightmare Before Christmas" which is one of my favorite movies! The other thing that was good and bad is that Southern California was surrounded by fires. Mostly this is just bad and very sad for many families, but on Tuesday the day we went to Disneyland the sky's were fairly clear because of the winds and because of the fires no one was there which was the good part. I was actually thinking we weren't going to go at all because the quality of air was so bad the other days of the week, but somehow the day we had planned to go was the one day the sky was clear, or at least more clear. Oh, and also there is a new Finding Nemo ride at Disneyland that I really loved! It is more of a kids ride, but I still thought it was awesome.

The rest of the week we mostly spent indoors playing cards. My nieces must have both beat me a Speed 20 times and I learned I have absolutely no skills at "Spite and Malice":). They were probably bored out of their minds but I found it really nice and relaxing. Now they are home, but hopefully they will be back soon. Really was a nice time and so good to see them.
