Disneyland

We went to Disneyland in November. The weather was really nice and it was a lot of fun. Jackson was at such a fun age for it. He was tall enough to ride most of the rides and he was great to walk and stay up late. Link had a harder time he didn't get enough sleep and got kind of wired tired and crazy. Poor Harrison had a fever for the second and third day that we were there. We never found out why he had a fever because he had no other symptoms but the poor baby was miserable. I felt so bad for him. We flew there with my sister on a pretty late flight. I was so worried my boys would be horrible on the plane but they were actually really good. Even Harrison was really good on the flight.

The first 2 days were there were really nice and not that crowded. The 3 day was pretty busy and the 4th day was just a nightmare we couldn't even walk there were so many people so we finally just left in the afternoon because the wait on the rides was 3+ hours. It was really fun to see Disneyland all decorated for Christmas. Jackson's favorite ride was Indiana Jones, Link liked the Maderhorn, and Harrison loved Pooh. Harrison got to meet Pooh twice and he absolutely loved it. He gave Pooh big hugs and smiled so cute for all the pictures. It was a really fun trip.

Link hated splash mountain.

Holidays 2017

The holidays were so fun this year. We had Thanksgiving with Jordan's family this year. Jordan's mom had really fun games planned for the kids. They dressed up like pilgrims and turkeys and we had a giant nerf gun war. My kids had so much fun with their cousins.

The day after Thanksgiving Spanish Fork has their light parade. We went with Jordan's family this year. Link was kind of horrible but Jackson and Harrison were really cute and had a lot of fun.

The boys got really excited about putting the tree up and decorating it.

We went to the festival of lights 3 times this year and the kids loved it. Bubba got so excited he loved it so much this year he kept yelling "Wow! Lights!" He got so excited every time we went.

We went to temple square with my family at the beginning of December. We went on a Saturday night that was really warm so it was completely insane. It was so busy we could hardly walk. We tried to eat at City Creek but it was so packed it wasn't even worth it so we ended up just leaving. The lights were pretty but I don't think my kids had very much fun. I only took one picture that's how awesome it was.

We went to Salam Pond to see the trees on the pond. It was really pretty Harrison loved it.

Ward party. Link was an angel and Jacks was a wise man.

Link had the cutest little Christmas program at his school. They sang cute songs and had their own little parts. He had his part memorized and he did an amazing job. He knew all the songs and was just so cute singing them.

The boys are randomly into dapping. I think they picked it up from one of their older cousins but they do it all the time.

We went to Jordan's parent's house for Christmas Eve like every year. We had dinner played some fun games and all got new PJ's, and the kids did a present exchange. I was a horrible mother and didn't take a single picture! So I feel kind of bad about that. The boys had a lot of fun. When we got home Jordan and I got everything ready for Christmas. The kids got a double shot for Christmas so Jordan and I spent 2 hours putting it up so it would be ready when the kids woke up. Their reaction seeing it set up already was really cute they got really excited.

They woke up pretty early and we opened presents then just hung out at home for a while before going to my parent's house. Bubba did not sleep at all on Christmas Eve and refused to take a nap on Christmas day until we were almost to my parent's house so he had kind of a rough couple of days. He was kind of ornery for the holidays it just messed with his sleep schedule so much.
