Thanksgiving Break

Jeffrey the Indian (Alexis was a Pilgrim. She put the pill in Pilgrim and didn't let me photograph her in costume)

It's been a long while, and in all honesty, I haven't had much time. I'll talk about our time in HB for Thanksgiving.

We were able to go down on Tuesday and prepare for Kristina's 24th Birthday. The plan was to head to Disneyland and have a good time. Bear, Kris, Jeff, and I went early so we could have breakfast at the park.

We amazingly got there about 8:30AM and we had a good time. My mom and dad met us later. Aaron and Lexi had to join us later as Miss Lexi had her 15 month appointment... boy 15 months, where does the time go?

We really enjoyed Disneyland. It had been a long time that we had been able to go.

We all enjoyed Small World, the tram, and perhaps that was it. Jeffrey expanded his horizons and went on Haunted Mansion Holiday (Nightmare Before Christmas)

and went on Star Tours. He wasn't too fond of HM, Oogie Boogie scared him. But loved Star Tours, which I'm really happy about. Aaron and I are Star Wars geeks so perhaps we'll have a new fan. Lexi was very content to hang out in her stroller and eat. She loved the tortilla factory and came out double fisting a flour tortilla... perhaps she is a Mexican ; ) After we went to Cortina's, a little Italian food joint, and we had a great lunch. After, Aaron and the kids left, and the rest of us went back. We had a good time walking around, and only rode a few rides.

On Thursday we took the kids to visit my Grandma & Grandpa Ponce. We took them flowers. And although I know that they don't understand that they once existed, it's important to me that they know about them. I'm sure that my grandparents would love them...

Thanksgiving dinner came and went. Nothing too exciting. All of us getting together to eat... could be just a normal Sunday ; ) The only difference is that we played Partini. Now if you've never played Partini, and you're in a committed relationship... this is not the game for you! Almost all of us that played we either married, or engaged, and that was tested. Couples were aruing, etc. It was hilarious to watch, I know, but I still say that Aaron cannot do math.

Friday was all about the park... and leftovers. We took the kids to the park to run around with Nick, Avery, Michael, and Elena. We had a lot of fun, probably just as much as the kids. Aaron and I shared our almost divorce stories with Michael and Elena.

Friday night we went to Bella Terra. I remember that they did a tree lighting and snow at night. I thought a handful of people would go. I must have been crazy. It was packed. But it was a lot of fun. The kids had fun singing and seeing Santa.

We left on Saturday morning, and I was kinda sad to go. We seem to have so much fun when we're down there. I often wonder what it'd be like if we lived down there. Maybe I will one day know...
