Thanksgiving Weekend

Wow, it has been a crazy and fun filled weekend...and I have LOTS of pictures! Chad came down for Thanksgiving and we had so much fun with the girls and my family. We had Thanksgiving at my parents and missed Byron, Hayley, Kyle, Pam, Logan and Emily. But it was nice to have Kim's parents there and the dinner was fabulous!



Chad and I took the girls to Disneyland the day after Thanksgiving-crazy I know. It was SO crowded! We would had died if it wasn't for a Disney employee that took us under her wing. She overheard us debating on whether to take the girls on Snow White or not, and she said, "That ride is too scary, let's go on Alice and Wonderland." So she walked us right up to the front of the line! Then she took us on the Storyboat ride and the Casey Jr train. She then gave us preferred seating passes for perfect seat to watch the parade and two more passes to walk to the front of the line on any rides we wanted! I don't know how we got so lucky, but she saved us at least 4 hours of waiting in line! It was a wonderful day and the girls loved it!







Then on Saturday Chad went golfing with the guys of the family (we missed you Byron!) and had some quality "Guy time"

Katelyn wanted to go golfing so bad, so I took her miniature golfing instead


I have so many blessings in my life and things to be grateful for. It's amazing that once you start listing things you are grateful for, the list just continues to grow! My top blessings on my list are:
The gospel, my Heavenly Father who knows me personally, a second chance at love (with someone who is everything I ever wanted), two beautiful girls, and an amazing family! It's so true that after any size rainstorm, there is always a rainbow!

It sounds like you guys had a fun weekend. Chad looks like he is fitting right in with the family. We also spent Thanksgiving in Cali but we were up north where it was much colder!

I'm so jealous of your Disneyland story. We go so many times and stuff like that never happens. Looks like a fun thanksgiving.
