Our family tradition of
going to California for Thanksgiving lives on! We took another road
trip to California and spent Thanksgiving with Maria's extended family
(aunts, uncles and cousins). It's fun seeing everyone again.
Then, we decided to take the kids + Grammy to
Disneyland on Black Friday. It was crowded! If we do that again
we'll go the day BEFORE Thanksgiving. In any case, the kids (Jared
especially) enjoyed Mickey's place. And Disneyland was all decorated
for Christmas so it felt very festive! |
