"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."
-Gordon B. Hinckley

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a fun Thanksgiving, full of family & good food! The day before Thanksgiving we went to Disneyland for breakfast. We got there and they checked us in, took our photo and then we walked into the biggest all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet ever! They had an omelet station, french toast, pancakes, Mickey waffles and so much more! Also, there were about 10+ characters dressed up for Christmas and would come over to your table and do funny little things and take photos with you! For anyone who has not done this yet, you won't be sorry!

After breakfast we went on some rides & rode the horse drawn trolly. The photo of us on C.A Screamin---I am trying to take a photo of us on the ride......ya......it came out about as well as you're thinking it would!

That night we also went to the Orange Traffic circle for dinner with the fam. It was all decorated for Christmas and you feel like you have taken a hugh step back in time. It is so charming! We ate at Watson's Drug store---if you ever go, you can't miss this place and there malts!
On Thanksgiving morning we got up nice and early to be at the park at 7:30am, for Turkey Bowl. It was a nice cold rainy morning, but the guys didn't mind---they played for almost 2 hours! Good thing we still had an umbrella in the car for me and my camera! The 2nd photo in below is Brody getting a touch down!! Whoo Hoo!!
After the game we came home to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade while getting ready to head over and help out with the big feast!
After a yummy feast and some foot ball, we all headed to the LA Auto Show! It is always so much fun to see all the new cars, and all the concept's and to just sit in and explore so many different cars! We love it!

Friday morning we got up at like 5:30am to brave South Coast Plaza and do some 'Black Friday' shopping with my Mom and Sister. We had so much fun being a part of all the madness, and finding some good deals!
On Saturday, Brody and I got some hot chocolate and went to Fashion Island to look at the Christmas tree before we meet up with the family to pick out a Christmas tree. We had some fun picking it out, and then decorating it tonight before Lauren goes back to school!
Hope everyone had a fun and safe Thanksgiving!!
