Goodbye to ThanksGiving 2007...

Annie & I, & our last four wheel ride together for the season. Tear! he he

Meeting Preston's dad's fiance, Julie's family, The Fousts! They are all so nice! (ps, this pic is kinda a disaster, Preston closing his eyes, and I actually have something in my teeth. geez ugh!)

The beauty before the feast.

This year Thanksgiving seemed to go by in such a flash! I can't believe it came and went just like that. What I am even more perplexed about is that christmas is in 26 days!!! Just the thought is stressful. It kinda hits you just like the bitter cold air in the morning! Well, I guess here goes!

Just so you know... and I am sure you all have heard... but I can barely wait any longer for.....

I was just searching my kitchen for a late night snack and thought about how great it will be when the day will come that I can go get some ice cream and it is low fat! Honestly could there be a more perfect treat! And if it is anything like its competitor Pinkberry I am going to love it! As I stated previously in the blog it is sooo great! And dreams do come true, not just in Disney Land either! Love it!

Thanks Red Mango!

November

It's a "WiCKED Mouse Tour" !!

Call me spontaneous? At the last minute I finally decided to go on a girls trip to LA. My sister and aunt and her two girls had planned a girls trip to California. I had really wanted to go but didn't think there was any way possible. It was really last minute. With some help from my amazing husband we were able to make some quick arrangements for me to go. It wasn't just me though, my mom decided to go also, and couldn't without bringing my little brother. So much for a girls trip! No, really he was a welcome addition. It was kinda hectic the day we traveled since there were three different flights scheduled and three different airlines but at around 11:00 friday night, we finally made it to the big city of LA.

Our First Stop.....
the amazing...
This is us inside the shop, (they don't allow pics inside)
mmmmmnnn it is soooo goooood! I had a Pinkberry craving the whole trip! Sariah you can still thank me any time! : )
These were fun little guys who hung out with us at Pinkberry

Next stop...

and even more amazing...
Pantages Theater presents....
I know, I wasn't supposed to take pictures inside but I had to sneak one...
Cousin Kyra immediately got lost in the book... not really, just a cute pic!
Me and my cute mom who I sat next to. And of course we both left the theater in tears!
The cousin crew at Cheesecake Factory after the play
It really was so good! Definately in my top 3! I wanted to see it again the minute I left the theater. But of course I couldn't leave without buying the soundtrack! The rest of the night our whole crew drove around (getting lost in LA), but having fun rockin out to Wicked! I think we all agree my little brother Bud had the best vocals of the bunch! :)



Last but not least...

a 2-day Park hopper at
Disneyland!
Since it was Halloween time they had the cutest Halloween stuff everywhere


Even Minnie Mouse was in her Halloween costume as a Minnie Witch. (don't know the people in the pic, the line was soo long to get a pic with Minnie so I just got this one)

In Californa Adventure they had a Candy Corn field with candy corn everywhere. It was really cute. This was the largest (fake) candy corn. The slug from bugs life would pop out of it and it was really cute.

The crew in the New Orleans District. We went to the Blue Bayou for dinner which was really good. (The patio is inside the Pirates of the Carribean ride)

This is by far the funnest ride ever!! Can you tell from our faces? It is the California Adventure Tower of Terror. We went on it at least 4 times. This is a pic of the pic they take. The funniest part was my poor mom and aunt (not pictured)who we tricked into going on it. They had no clue what was going to happen, and needless to say they only went on it once.

The lights at night were really pretty.
The firework show is sooo amazing. It is narrated by Julie Andrews who is my favorite. It really is "enchanting" as my mom would say. It makes me excited to bring my kids here one day. (not without Sariah of course!) Dreams really do come true!
It was such a fun and memorable trip! Thanks you guys!

And yes...
