All time favorites

Today I took the kids to Fotofly for yearly pictures. I have to say it was one of the best experiences I have had getting their pictures. The gal was GREAT, she made sure there was no glare with Anthony's glasses and got both kids to look at the camera. I have added a few of my favorite from the 46 I got without overloading to many on the post.

ENJOY!

Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving I am of course Thankful for these two.

But I am also thankful for a job I love, a job that allows me to buy the things I need to live, and allows me to travel a lot.
This year for Thanksgiving we went and spent some time with Shane's dad and his brother and sister. Jackson love his little cousin Jazzlyn.

What a doll!

awww.

Not sure Brittnay was so amused with these two.

Boys will be Boys!

After a stop at Shane's mom's family we had dinner at our house.

Jackson loves olives!

Thankfully my dad was at our house preparing dinner, so we could visit with Shane's family.

Neither one of my kids are great eaters. Anthony's dinner was stuffing and mashed potatoes. And Jackson had olives, roll, and marshmallows.

Best part of the meal is my yummy pie!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.

Have I mentioned...

How much Antony loves Star Wars. I had to publish a single post for the Star Wars activities while we were at Disneyland.

The only good thing about the rain was, instead of the Jedi training academy show the kids got to meet the characters.
First the Jedi's.
Than Darth Maul.

And finally Darth Vader and the stormtroopers.

Of course we went on the ride!

Did I mention Antony went on it 11 times in 4 days!

It was new this year. And a lot of fun. Antony was even the Rebel spy twice!

Up next was the Jedi training academy.

Luckily Anthony was picked the first time we went.

The kids practiced their moves.

Darth Vader and Darth Maul showed up tried talking the kids into joining the dark side.

They all got a chance to fight either Darth Maul or Darth Vader.

At the end they all become Jedi's.

Here is the video of Anthony fighting Darth Maul.

Disneyland

We were lucky enough to get to take the kids to Disneyland this year.

Grabbing some breakfast before our early morning flight.

Waiting so patiently for the plane.
I chose to go in October for a couple of reasons. 1. The fun decorations they would have up for Halloween. 2. Not as many crowds. 3. Great weather.
Reason one did not disappoint. However reason three, did not work in my benefit the entire time.

Day one it rained and rained. However we spent $30 on ponchos and made the best of it.

We of course met Mickey and Friends.

It was fun to see some of the characters in their costumes.

Above are a few of the random characters we found through out the parks.

We spent one morning doing the Mickey's toontown morning madness. That was fun.

The kids enjoyed Toontown. Everything was their size.

Jackson loved watching the playhouse Disney show.

We made a stop at the Lego store. Anthony was in Heaven!

That Darth Vader was there 4 years ago when we took Anthony.

And of course you can't go to Disneyland without riding some rides. Some favorites included Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Star Tours, Teacups, and Splash mountain. Least favorites included The haunted mansion and Tower of Terror.

I am so thankful for the opportunity that I get to take my kids on vacation and have them experience so much.
