Thanksgiving Break

Cameron had 2 (I think I can say) unsuccessful hunts during Thanksgiving break. Devri was out of school the whole week so after staying home a few days we decided on Thanksgiving to head over to meet my parents in CA. They were over there for Keaton's tennis tournament and visiting Kelsi. We made it over to Disneyland to see it decorated for Christmas and do the Christmasy things.

And of course our first visit to Santa- which was fun to start of the Christmas season.

and Mrs. Claus too

My kids really wanted to color at Disneyland over in Reindeer roundup- they asked to do this! We color lots at home- I have no idea why it is more fun at Disneyland!

For the debut of Princess and the Frog- they had a little parade on the showboat. It was really cute!! The songs in that movie are so catchy.

Feeding the ducks and locking down our seats for the parade.

We went to the movies one night- the Fantastic Mr. Fox! It was so horrible and not really for my little ones- Devri still seemed to be laughing but Danika had no interest and it was weird to me too!

But arcades are alwasy fun at the theaters.

We went to Sea World the day after Thanksgiving- it was more crowded than I have ever seen! Not the best day to go- plus a little cold that day. Kelsi and her boyfriend Cody joined us too. Keaton and my dad were still back at the tournament.

Touching the stingray

A little too bright for my kiddos- haha!

Thanksgiving morning before I headed to California and Cameron headed out for his elk hunt. Cameron and I took the kids to an early movie- we went and saw Astroboy.

Daxton had his preschool Thanksgiving feast and he loved! this cute hat he got to wear.

So since Cam was gone and Dev out of school- we hit the Wildlife Zoo one day then the Phoenix Zoo the other day.

I love how concerned Danika looks here.

My kids loved that they could milk the cow over at the petting zoo.

Aunt Melissa joined us at the Phoenix Zoo

It was the cute primary program at our ward the week before Thanksgiving. So since Cam was gone on his deer hunt- we had extra time at home- so I decided to try Danika's hair in curlers for the first time (I think?) it turned out very cute!
