Duck Hunting
So, we were driving home from San Jose on New Year's Eve (it's about a 5 hour car trip) and I kept wondering why I was seeing all of these cars from Oregon.... A lot of the cars where all decked out in green and gold with a big "O" on them.... Then it dawned on me! It was Duck hunting season! Did they win?

Winter Time in LA
We had a bit of snow hit the mountains in the area. Nothing on the ground, but they wanted to have a little for decoration at work. They brought in blocks of ice (made in a freezer) and a chipper and ground up the ice to make fake snow for the front of our building. This was to celebrate the airing of Prep and Landing on ABC television. It made for a very festive decoration. You can see it along the edges of the walls.
Close up of the front lobby area. The snow was already melting but it had little bits that remained for a couple of days.
That night was the employee holiday party at Disneyland. They close the park around 6PM then open it to employees only till midnight. Shannon picked me up from work and we drove down to Anaheim. Temps were in the 40's so we dressed the kids up in their snow clothes.
As the evening progressed and it got colder, we went to the Disneyland hat shop and got hats for everyone.
Lines at the holiday party are short so the kids got to ride Dumbo and other rides multiple times.
We got a motel for the night so we could spend a second day at Disneyland. We encouraged the kids to jump on the beds. I mean,. what else are hotels for??
Next day at Disneyland we had lunch at Cafe Orleans to celebrate Shannon's Birthday.
Crawling through the caves at Pirate Island. They are not really made for grownups.
They added a Princess and The Frog show at Disneyland. It's a fun show that uses music from the recently released film.
