Disneyland, Mikulas & Charlie Palmer's

Friday I took the day off in observance of our Czech Holiday called Mikulas, or Saint Nick's Day. Ry and I decided to go to Disneyland for the day, since we have never been during Christmas time and what a great time to go!

We rode all of the rides worth riding in both Disneyland and CA Adventure and came home exhausted! It was totally worth it though, we will definitely try to visit Disney during this time each year.

Saturday my mom prepared her famous dough for baking Saint Nick's and Devils, a tradition for little kids in Czech... if kids are good throughout the year they get a Saint, if they are bad they get a devil! Kim came over, it was so fun to have her at my mom's, we drank egg nog, chatted and each had a Saint AND a Devil!

Sunday Kim and Jon met us at Charlie Palmer's for drinks before their Christmas Party and Ry and I shopped at South Coast.. never a good ending! We had a great holiday weekend with our dear friends and are looking forward to more to come!
