Thanksgiving!

I think going to Disneyland when we did was perfect- it may need to be a new tradition. We were able to go do Disneyland, but get back in plenty of time for Thanksgiving. We made our jell-o, pies (4 this year- chocolate, cherry. lemon meringue- Camille's favorite, and pumpkin- Ben's favorite), and rolls. Of course, we watched the Macy's Parade and looked for the Great American Marching Band! Audra saw her friend Jackson on TV, so that was fun!

We went to Mac and Ann's for a wonderful dinner and time with family. It was a great day! Audra didn't get to stay for the weekend as she had to head back to Utah for the football game on Saturday, but it was wonderful to have her home while we had her.

Disneyland Day 3

 

We rode Monster's Inc for what is likely the last time as they are tearing it down in January. We are hearing rumors, however, that construction may be delayed, so maybe we will get to ride it again after all

Camille, Audra, and I closed out the park. It was just so hard to say good-bye to Disneyland! We finished with the train, hoping to see some really cool park lights. We were a little disappointed as we only saw the lights in Toon Town, but it was still fun.

Audra really wanted to ride Dumbo!

Disneyland Day 2

It was very crowded, but I can modify Lightning Lanes like a boss so we never waited in line for more than 15 minutes and we did everything we wanted at least once, and the headliners that we love twice or even three times. I even rode IncrediCoaster for the first time! Ben says I'm better than a plaid

Plus. the food, the characters, the ambiance...we haven't been during holiday season since 2017, so this was a real treat for us- especially since we all got to be together!

Claire and I teamed up and won rope drop while the rest of the family were slow behind us and met us at the main gate. We were the first on Space Mountain for the day! So cool! (one girl RAN ahead of us, but we don't count that because she totally cheated)
