Disneyland - November 2010

These two kids were AMAZING on our trip down to visit my family for Thanksgiving! Grampy fly up to Northern Cal and drove down south with the kids and I. The trip down was easy sicne we were able to break the drive up between the two of us.
The week was spent with family and friends. We were able to catch up with some of the kids buddies from our old street and Calvary. Kaydes was in heaven when her and her best bud Audrey reunited. It was a priceless sight as I watched them embrace for a good 5 minutes just giggling and smiling from ear to ear. I hope this is a friendship we can continue for years to come.
Thanksgiving was so enjoyable this year. Being with my parents and enjoying my mama;s cooking was so nice. We really missed Rick, as he traveled to SOuth Padre Island to get some Gaels wins, only to come home 1-1. Having said that, it was a good trip as some of their goals were accomplished but he was tired and missed his babies. Just as we missed him!
We ended our trip with a night's stay at the Grand Californian and a FULL day at Disneyland. It was the best day at Disney, not crowded at all - so much fun!
We drove home on Monday - I was solo in the drivers seat - and my kiddos couldnt have been better. They were perfect siblings. Didnt complain once and napped and enjoyed the 6 hours together. I could do that drive every weekend if I was guaranteed that behavior. We all know that wouldnt happen but they were THAT good.
Happy Holidays to all...
I hope you all had the opportunity to reflect on the many blessing in your lives. We sure did and I will carry over my greatfulness throughout the year, as I continue to be amazed at how much I have to be thankful for!




















"I'm Thankful" Feast





To kick off the week long Holiday break for Thanksgiving, Kaydens class hosted a party on the Friday prior to the week of Turkey day. A full feast was enjoyed by the class, especially the pumpkin pie with LOTs of whipped cream!
The teacher went around and had each kid say what they were thankful for and Kayde said " I am most thankful for my family". Love her! And we are so thankful for her!!


Valle Verde - 50th day of school Celebration

Kaydens Kindergarten class celebrated the 50th day of school with a 50's themed party - kids dressed int heir best poodle skirt and rolled up blue jeans with white t-shirts a slicked back hair. They boogied on down to 50's tunes, including hula hooping. And finished off the day's celebration with rootbeer floats.
I was so happy to be able to see my girls smile throughout this fun day!
