Let it snow!

Being a warm-weather lover from california, I usually cringe at snow past Christmas. I'm a fan of winter sports and Bryan is a big time skiier so I should rejoice at snow storms throughtout the winter; but instead I crave the sun. However, snow before Christmas is a different story. I love everything that adds to the Christmas spirit: Christmas music, Christmas books, Christmas decorations, hot chocolate by the fire, everyone's desire to serve and help those around them (I am so touched by the many things are neighbors and friends are doing this year), and especially the opportunity to celebrate the birth of our savior. Needless to say, when I looked out the window today, I was excited to see snow.

The Happiest Place on Earth

Yup we went where every little kid dreams of going. We saw all the pretty princesses, ate churros, and got "it's a small world" stuck in our head for a week straight. Despite the lack of a traditional turkey feast, Disneyland was the perfect thanksgiving vacation.




Kylie loves Bryan. She would not let him out of her sight last week. My family was joking that she has a new father.




i love my family:)








It was so fun to have a little break from school and hang with the fam. For our thanksgiving meal we went to a restaurant in disneyland and ate crepes with turkey and stuffing in them, served with vegies and cranberry sauce. It was different but delicious. We had such a fun week. It was depressing driving back from LA realizing we had to come back to school and reality.
