The Mother of Geese

Brad and I have been dying with the biggest secret ever! We surprised the kids with a trip with Grandma Kitty to Disneyland. They knew we were only going to go to St. George for the weekend so when we arrived at the hotel Brad let me out with a bag of personalized fleeces. I ran upstairs, put the sweaters in the tub, then waited for the kids to arrive. I gave the kids a "tour" of the hotel room, then pretend panicked when I looked into the tub. I said "There's a mouse in there!". Of course the kids screamed and freaked out with me. Abbie was brave enough to go investigate. They were all a bit confused until I showed them the shirts with the mouse on them and explained we probably needed to wear these sweaters someplace else. Someplace like DISNEYLAND! Amelia and Max screamed and were so happy and excited!

On our way to Disneyland, we headed over to Tuacaun for their living nativity. It was such a great time and such a great way to kick off the holidays.

This is what you might get

Brad's dad finally sold his property in Lakeside. It was a pretty bitter sweet move for Brad so he decided to head up to Lakeside with Amelia and Max and give him a hand with the final moving details. Meanwhile, Abbie and I had a great time just having a girls weekend.

Abbie and Amelia were dropped off at the mall to do some shopping and looking around. They had a great time and ended up at Claire's buying matching Infinity bracelets.

I'm sure RJ was thrilled to see that we have the same taste in clothes from Old Navy.

Do you know how lucky I am that Abbie enjoys football? Not only that she enjoys it but that she understands it? Totally takes the pressure off of me to have to pretend like I like it!
