let me tell you, having friends that work for disney is freakin awesome. i got to go to the holiday party on tuesday night, which just means they shut the park down for employees and their friends and family, which ultimately means NO LINES!

it was fuh-reezing, and i did not dress even remotely appropriate for the weather, but it really doesn’t matter when you’re walking around enjoying the lights (and the churros).

luckily for me, since it was so cold, nobody wanted to go on any “real” rides, so we just did all storybook rides, which are the only ones i’ll go on other than dumbo.

i was terrified the first time i did the haunted mansion a couple years ago though. i was not prepared at all for the claustrophobic room sinking and pitch black-ness. now at least i know what to expect.

small world it seriously breathtaking. walking up to it with all the lights is pure disney magic.

i went a little photo crazy on the ride. i love the littel gus gus next to cinderella!

i also had a little too much fun with the bokeh features in big lens, but night like this were made for fuzzy heart lights, no?

i made the mistake of picking this guy up. well no, not mistake. but once i picked him up i couldn’t put him down. he came home with me.

i mean, COME ON. is there anything better than the happiest place on earth at christmastime?

an evening with friends playing IRL words with friends! i lost big time. 

newly trimmed bangs. 

downtown for the craft fair meant fabric and trim shopping also. 

walking back from the farmers market, i fell in love with this building. 

this is about as festive as i generally get, but this year i’m kind of craving a real tree. instead, i’ll probably end up crafting some little ornaments for this guy.
