Dave's Bday and a Future Trip

Turkey Day this year was not only a day of giving thanks and eating yummy food.....it also was Dave's 36Th Birthday! We were with Dave's family this year and had a nice relaxing day. Marilyn always decorates the table so nicely and had the house smelling delicious. We had a wonderful meal and took time as a family to remember what we were most grateful for.

The kids helped bring in Dave's present...he was so puzzled when he saw this big thing. I love it when I confuse him and make him curious!! He has got to be one of the most impatient human beings and he can make it hard sometimes to surprise. But this year I kept my mouth shut...told the kids nothing and left him wondering. It was so great!!

This was the best....he opened the package and literally couldn't believe it. He is about to say "shut up" in case you were wondering:) He has been wanting a guitar for years and has wanted to learn how to play for a long time. So I finally found one and he was so shocked. He looks pretty good holding that thing don't ya think??

Ty is at the stage where he is taking retarded pictures and hates to take them period. I'm lucky I got this one.

Soooooooooo we are finally doing it!! We had some friends of ours call us up a few weeks ago and somehow got us to commit to DISNEYLAND!!!! We have some other friends of ours that have been trying to get us to go with them on a Disney Cruise/Disneyworld for a couple years now and we just haven't been able to swing it. But driving 6 hours to the happiest place on earth and a huge price difference....we can swing this. The kids have never been and it's been 8 years since Dave and I have gone. We are over the moon excited and just can't wait to experience this with the kids. We are going the weekend before Christmas. I honestly still can't believe it! We made a countdown chart with the kids to help us along until we get there. We are grateful for all the things we had to celebrate in November and look forward to all the excitement in December!!!
