Gilroy Gardens Holiday

Wow.....thats what comes to mind when i think about this past weekends trip to Gilroy Gardens. It was truly magical! Every inch of the park was covered in lights, holidays music played though out the whole park and despite the cold.....we all had a amazing time!

The boys were awoken from a nap (hence the fuzzy hair) and strapped in for a ride!

The entrance to the park.....note the fake snow and festive walkway!

Holding hands, waiting for their first ride!

 

The fish were a favorite!

 I loved that most of the rides were geared towards toddlers so they could ride safely without mom!

 

Next stop....dining hall. It was beautiful and the food was really good. fresh carved turkey, apple crisp and a beverage station!

 

See!

 

Dinner and a show....Charlie Brown and the gang came out to dance and sing while we enjoyed our food! I thought that was really awesome!

JoJo....not so much!

 

Whats a Holiday Festival without Santa?

I love this lil man!

Christmas Fun!!

Ok its not pretty but he had the time of his life! $4 at Trader Joes!

                                  Our annual trek through candy Cane lane.....never fails to delight!

 

This kid is going to be a great lil chef!

 

Pancake Crazy

Some of you know what a crazy picky eater JoJo is. One thing he never refuses is pancakes, french toast and waffles.....and chocolate of course!
Anyhow this morning per his usual request I made pancakes and was wondering of fun ways to make pancakes aside from the silver dollar and mickey mouse variety.
Voila, I found this......

This mom poured pancake mix in a empty and washed ketchup bottle. How cool is that?

I bet you can guess I'll be saving my next condiment container! 

Its also a great way to help teach your kid his name. The possibilities are endless. 

Now lets see how long before my husband tries to draw a hot rod with flames!

MMMMmmmm

Sometimes being a sneaky brat who solicits her Christmas present early bites me in the butt, LOL! J.R. got me a new Iphone for Christmas (already been in my possession for a week) and I love it dearly....wouldnt trade it for the world.....no really he actually demands that I put it down and pay attention to him, LOL!
However one of my dear customers just gave me a sample of Lady Million perfume by Pacco Rabanne and it made my heart soar, LOL! Ok that was cheesy but I thought I'd share it with you ladies because it is my new favorite! i wonder how many times i can go ask for samples at Macy's?
Well at least I know what to ask for my birthday!
GO SMELL IT!
