Thanksgiving Week

So for Thanksgiving week we stayed around here and had our own family time.  The first couple of days we braved the crowds at Disneyland. 
A couple stopped and gave us these two Mickey & Goofey stuffed animals because they said they didn't have room in their suitcases to take them back on the plane. My kids were thrilled! Thank you to whomever you were, you made my kids day!



The kids in line for California Scream'n....it's their favorite ride at the park.  It has a good balance of easy, but thrill.

This is us on the huge Mickey Ferris Wheel at California Adventure.  The older I am getting the more afraid of heights I am becoming.....so I was super nervous in this picture (notice the cell phone grip...ready to call 911 at any minute)! Look at Kamryn's face. She was so scared she had the shivers and she kept saying "I can't stop wiggling". It didn't help that Travis would over exaggerate his every move making the cage move more! Needless to say I got a bit snappy up there. Not planning on riding it again any time soon!


Bug's Life Movie
Since we had no visitors ths year and no family around our friends the Ewell's invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner....it was soooooo yum!

This is not everyone....just a random picture of those anxious to eat pie!  Thank you Ewells for thinking of and taking care of our family.

Bonus Room Makeover

Before....

We finally did our bonus room!  We love the big over-sized sectional. The picture doesn't do it justice, but it's huge.  All 7 of us can sprawl out and not even touch each other, which cuts down on sibling conflict.....looking forward to some peaceful family movie nights together!
After...
