This week, the girls had their parent-teacher conferences, with a half-day Thursday and a day off on Friday for the conferences. Thus, Thursday was the absolute perfect day to go to Disneyland!
Several of our school friends agreed, and we met up with Trent and Sophia (and Jen and Sue) for part of the day.
Violet's top thing she wanted to do was run around in the Redwood Creek area, which is where we played with our friends.
We also rode the bumper cars in A Bug's Land...
...posed in front of the giant baubles in Bug's Land...
...and decorated Christmas cookies.
Cora generously took hers home to share with Dad, who had to work.
My No. 1 goal was to ride the revamped Tower of Terror ride, now turned into Guardians of the Galaxy. Though the ride has just a 40-inch height requirement, and therefore can't be that scary, Violet was very nervous.
We convinced her to put on a happy face, though. The ride features lots of straight drops and quick rises.
In the end, Violet (and Cora and I) loved it! She asked to go again, but we had used up our Fast Passes and I didn't want to wait in a long line for a second turn.
The Christmas decorations were up - isn't Cars Land awesome? The girls pointed out the adorable snowflakes made from giant wrenches.
We then met up with our friends again, and Grandma and Grandpa, who came late after Grandma got off work. We drew a cartoon character together in the Animation Academy, and then California Adventure shut and we headed over to Disneyland.
We got Fast Passes for Thunder Mountain, and then went on Jungle Cruise and into the Tiki Room.
After the rides, we posed in front of the beautiful decorated castle.
It was nice spending time with Grandma and Grandpa, too. Thanks, as always, for the girls' annual passes!
