My best Friend, partner in crime and cute "Goofy" husband, surprised me last weekend and took my to Disneyland for our Anniversary
(which was in June) so I was totally surprised!
He told me a couple days before that he was taking me on a trip and to pack a bikini and a coat??? "WOW," I said, " I am scared" - first, I don't have a bikini - never did - NEVER WILL - and a coat? So I packed sort of "fancy" - or at least I took something other than my "uniform" (PJ's and a paint shirt.)
I thought we would go to New York, North Carolina ? I don't know EAST somewhere and then he handed me my ticket to Disneyland and I about died -
(I know - others would think this was some kind of practical JOKE but...I LOVE DISNEYLAND) so this was truly a gift for me!! We had the best time and if you haven't stayed at the GRAND CALIFORNIAN - do it!
It is a treat and they are running a special right now on room rates.
If you like Disneyland you have GOT to see it decorated for CHRISTMAS!!
We went on the Haunted Mansion ride 3 times - it is so great and totally different than the rest of the year with Jack and the Nightmare Before Christmas Decorations and it's a Small World is also magical at Christmas!
So...I have to say walking down Main Street with the song Chestnuts Roasting... filling the air I truly thought I had gone to "the most happiest place on earth" (to quoting a little guy telling his friend that on the Indiana Jones ride)

There were beds of poinsettia's planted of every color - i loved seeing them in the ground and not in a pot at my house dropping leaves!!

And of course Santa and his reindeer's were there - I actually think Santa has his second home in Disneyland - I am going to be looking for clues next time I go....

In Disney's California Adventure - there is a new ride and it is awesome - it is sort of like Buzz Lightyear (for those who know Disneyland) - It is an arcade game and I killed "Goofy" (aka Jeff) - though he may have been letting me win? I will have to see next time we go - ha-ha

AND - this brings me to the biggest problem - I am having the hardest time getting gourds painted - soooo come early - if you want any because my stock is a little lean this year. However, I have sooo many fantastic vendors you won't even miss the plethora of gourds -

I did get a couple more Turkey's done - let me know if you would like one - and stay tuned for give aways at the show - spread the word!!!
