Every other year for Thanksgiving my parents bless us and my sisters with a trip to Disneyland. Thank you so much mom and dad! This year was our year. We had such a wonderful time. This was the first time I have had a baby instead of being pregnant! A baby at Disneyland was easier than a toddler.
On Wednesday we spent the evening at Downtown Disney. They have a store called Ride Makerz where kids can put together their own car, kinda like Build a Bear. The boys each built a car and then we went to Build a Bear and Ryleigh built a bear. We also went to dinner at ESPN Zone where they have the best dessert of any other restuarant.
Thursday we were at Disneyland from the time they opened until after fireworks and snow. We got to go on all the rides, meet Santa, meet Princesses, and Connor was a participant in the Jedi Training Academy. It was an awesome day!
Friday, Bethany and Hannah actually woke up at Midnight for the Walmart Black Friday sale. Then we did a little more shopping after breakfast. After lunch we ended our stay at Disney by going to see Tangled! What a great movie!
Saturday, Dad, Mom, and Bethany drove with us to Phoenix Friday night and on Saturday morning we all took Grandma Louise, Aunt Kay, and cousins Brent and Bryce out for lunch to celebrate Grandma Louise's 21st birthday! It was wonderful to see everybody. Then we went to my cousins Audrey and Bob's house to celebrate Bob's 80th birthday.
Sunday- We crashed! It had been such a full weekend we were exhausted. But it was well worth it. So much fun!

Yay! Jackson is taking a much needed nap! He was such a trooper. He had a wonderful time!

Jackson didn't really like Santa.

Reaghan's first time meeting Santa

All the kids with Santa! Connor was not happy about this!

Connor at the Jedi Training Academy. He was able to battle Darth Maul!





The girls and Jack with Princess Tiana!

Ryleigh with Belle

Reaghan with Ariel, She was so sweet. She had a wonderful conversation with Ryleigh.

As you can see, Ryleigh really liked Ariel.


Grandma Judy took Ryleigh to have her face painted. It was really special.

Ryleigh, Bethany, Hannah, Jackson, Rachel and Reaghan on the carousel.

I got to take Jackson and Ryleigh on Dumbo. Usually my mom get the honor of the Dumbo ride but this time she was with the rest of the group on Space Mountain. It was exciting to take Jackson for the first time!

The boys got to make their own lightsabers! Of coarse they needed to have a battle.


Cade and Connor enjoying cookies before the parade.

We had perfect seats for the parade. Reaghan is hiding inside my jacket sound asleep!

Doesn't the Castle look magical?

When Bethany, Connor, Colby, Dad, Chris and I went on the Matterhorn Cade and Ryleigh fell asleep on a bench. Grandma Judy turned around and they were out!

Ryleigh is asleep in Reaghan's carseat in the stroller.

Cade is such a wonderful big brother. He and Ryleigh are really close.

Reaghan was so happy to be in a warm motel room.

Happy Birthday Grandma Louise!

I don't know how we survive these jam packed trips!
Hopefully you remember me, but I used to live with the Blevins and was in youth group with the Greenwall kids, Kim and Chris were in my wedding!
