November

 

I tried to take a kid picture right before church but realized I didn't like that their clothes didn't coordinate.  I meant to retake them but never got around to it so instead I just turned the picture to black and white and called it a day!

I forgot to take a picture of Eden on her first day of nursery...but actually she didn't go her first day because she had a runny nose.  This was about two weeks later!

Cutest 18 month old this year!

Cool baby!

Borrowing Eden's sunglasses!

Thanksgiving pies!

I also made chocolate, peanut butter pie, and mini pecan pies.

The kids had fun making these turkeys

We finally made this Harry Potter golden snitch puzzle.

Oh Blakely, how I love all your funny faces!

Blakely made this marshmallow snowman for a class assignment.

California Adventure again

 We didn't do a whole lot on our last day.  The main reason we went was to try and get another shot at getting tickets for Rise of the Resistance.  Unfortunately it didn't happen and we were pretty bummed out.  This day was "rainbow" day.  Eden had a rainbow dress so I decided to assign each person a color in the rainbow.

We went on the huge Ferris wheel

I don't remember seeing a screen with pictures so I didn't take a picture when I went on with the kids.

KK really had her heart set on riding this ride so we couldn't leave without her riding it.  I think some of the kids wanted to ride Guardians of the galaxy again so we split up.  Luckily Dyer didn't want to go with them and was stuck with me because once we got to Luigi's I realized that Eden was too short to ride (plus she fell asleep).  Technically Dyer probably shouldn't have watched Eden (not old enough) but I figured as long as she was sleeping it should be fine.  Plus Dyer had someone's phone watch so he could just call me if he needed anything.  Once we got outside the building I could see them so I don't think it was that big of a deal.

Disneyland again

Star Wars/princess dress day!

I took the two youngest to fantasy land while Nathan took the older kids to Star Wars/splash mountain.

We met back up and went to Toon Town

KK was super excited to get a picture with Minnie Mouse!

Eventually the boys went to their light saber experience so I took the girls to the carrousel (KK wanted to do it all morning but it was shut down for most of the morning). 

 

We went back to the apartment for a while to rest but we had to go back for the girls droid experience.  We got a late start and ended up jogging most of the way to the security tent.  From there Nathan, Dyer and the girls jogged the rest of the way.  They probably ended up jogging a 5k by the time they got there!  They made it there with about 2 minutes to spare!  

I bought some huge glow stick light sabers at Walmart before we left (3 total-one in each color) so the little girls would feel like they got something too!  I actually went back the next day to get more and they were already sold out!!!

Blakely ended up making a R2D2 type of droid and Blair made a BB8 type.
