Feasting and Swimming.

For Thanksgiving we drove the LONG trek down to California :). It was my grandma McRae's 80th birhtday and a great time for a reunion. Almost all the cousins were there and best of all, it was 80 degrees with a heated pool. My grandma just moved into a dream house and our ENTIRE family stayed at all the old house. A small family reunion inside a big one. I love these people.



At the old house there was just a tiny old TV with a VHS player, so at night we actually had to talk to each other (or watch home movies). Here is Jakey telling us mission stories.


Here is the last house we lived in in CA, where most of my memories are. Kenton was born while we lived here, so that's why the giant is in front.


Black Friday shopping at the Palm Desert mall. Annie HATED Santa Clause. I've tried several times since to show her happy pictures. Nope, still hates him.


The early birds in the family. Annie doing what she does best.


My grandma plays piano beautifully. Annie does not.




Annie's first haircut. One random morning we chopped off Annie's mullet (thanks Kiera). Much better. Her first haircut, tear. And yes, I am one of those moms who saved all of her hair in a bag.




Thanksgiving evening as we were all way too full and lounging around, Scott told me Annie had a surprise for me. I went in the kitchen and she was holding a Minnie Mouse pillow. Scott surprised me and took me to Disneyland!!! My whole family went.... but I'm bored so next post.
