DLand for FHE

We decided to go to disneyland for FHE and the last time we would be able to see the Christmas decorations this year. It really is one of my favorite times to be at Disneyland, everything is so festive. Toddler i and I were waiting for Bryan and the older boys to get off of Pirates- he needed his diaper changed and I forgot to replace the diapers in my purse, so we had to go to the baby center on Main Street or we would have joined them. So to entertain him, I took some photos, this one is my favorite.

comforting

They were both pretty sad about something. I think I took toddler down from the table for the hundredth time that morning and Lil A wanted to play video games but I honeslty cannot remember even though it just happened a little while ago. But I thought they were sweet to comfort each other.

We went to Disneyland (I know surprise, surprise) with Bryan's parents with all the Christmas decorations. Not surprisingly, this was one of the only photos I took. Between wrestling toddler i and taking potty stops, the camera didn't get out of my purse much. And it was pretty cold that night, so I wanted to keep my hands gloved as much as possible.

candy

After one of our many trips out of the car, toddler i decided to climb into the back where the big boys seat, spotted some candy and helped himself. Luckily I had the camera close by.

Lil A goes to speech twice a week, he LOVES it. He gets to do some sort of art project and this one is one of my favorites.

waiting at school

We wait at school for a long time at pick-up. Sometimes the time flies and other times it seems to drag. This day it seemed to drag, toddler i had a double ear infection and was cranky. Licorice helps everyone to not be cranky, right?

*again, sorry about the photo

baby M

While almost everyone was here for Thanksgiving, my boys loved to be around their baby cousin. As her parents were loading up the car, my two older boys got to hold her and even got her to fall asleep. I still think they should have taken our advice and stayed, next time they will listen.
*Sorry I am too lazy to flip the photos and upload them again.

Bowling

After Big A's class feast, we hopped in the car and headed to my parents' to meet up with everyone. Bowling was planned and we all had a great time. Even Sweet E waiting for her ball had a great time. I am hoping that we get to go bowling around Christmas too.

Class Thanksgiving Feast

I was lucky enough to be able to help and observe Big A's class feast the day before Thanksgiving. Ann was great and watch the younger boys at my parents' house and Jill and my mom took them after Disneyland the day before, so I had a really easy morning with ONE child.

They had made their costumes earlier and got to pick if they wanted to be an Indian or a pilgrim for the feast. They sang some cute songs. During the feast, I loved hearing the conversations going on. My 5yo tried to carry on a conversation like we do at home but when that didn't work, he resorted to jokes- Kindergarten jokes. Pretty entertaining.

Thanks again to my great sisters and mom for watching the other 2 so I could be there.

Disneyland with Ann and Fam

My sister Ann and her family was coming for the week of Thanksgiving and her baby was turning 3 on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, so it was the perfect time to go Disneyland. My mom and Jill took my 2 younger boys while I took Big A to school, went to a doctor appointment, picked Big A up from school, picked Bryan up from work and met them there. It was great, a little crowded but still fun. Thanks for going Ann and Fam, we should do it again, soon.

disney with my relatives

My uncle, aunt and their kids came from Utah and spent a few days at Disneyland, we were able to meet up with them on one of the nights. It is so fun to go with people who haven't been in a while. My little cousin was so excited the whole time, it was great. And my cousin who just got home from his mission was there too, that was a bonus. I can't wait until they come back.

Disneyland - Friday

Two Fridays before Thanksgiving Bryan came home from work and wanted to do something fun. The boys wanted to play Mario Cart or Mario Party. Bryan and I decided that we would get dinner on our way to Disneyland and not tell the boys we were going to Disneyland. They guessed that we were going to my parents' house and CostCo. They were so excited when we got there. We had a great time, we don't go very often with just our little family.
