Thanksgiving in Newport!!

Thanksgiving has come and gone way to fast! Hard to believe we are already headed into December. Nikki and I spent thanks giving with her family and a bunch of family friends. Nikki and I headed down to newport on Wed.and after we set up camp we drove over and spent the day at Disneyland! You can Barely tell in the pic but it was shoulder to shoulder people as far as you could see. The shortest line of the day was about 75 minutes. Although right before we left we got on the Jungle Cruise in about 5 minutes. But best of all we got to see Disneyland all decorated in Christmas lights! The Next Morning we woke up to a Beautiful Blue Sky and Sunshine! and WIND! Very cold and very windy but a fun Thanksgiving.

My Nephew Hayden and I found a Jelly Fish swimming about 4 feet off of shore. But as we learned from Finding Nemo we just bounced on the top of it and it couldn't sting us! Just kidding!



On Friday, Rather than facing the crowds in the Store looking for those Black Friday deals the whole group went bowling! Alot of fun playing with about 20+ people.


Here is Nikki Gettting Ready to Bowl!

On Friday Night nikki and I were invited about a few people on the group. The resturant was called 3Thirty3 and was very Good! But Very Expensive. Lucky for us we were the guest and the DD's so we didn't have to pay.

This pic is just of the younger group that went.
Of coarse, being within walking distance of Balboa Island we had to stop and pick up some frozen Bananas. So our tradition is to walk around the island as we eat them. For those of you who don't know about these! They are awesome! If you ever get a chance you need to get them!







This Has to be my favorite picture of the whole trip. I am totally in love with my new niece Brooklynn, and from this picture you can see that she loves my too!



This was Taken on the day we left. The whole family dressed in Vikings Clothes. And we headed out!



It was a very fun trip! Thank you Mike and Sherrie for letting us come with you. We look forward to next year celebrating with the Peterson family! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We love you guys!

Pumpkin Fun... Disney Style!!

Hey all! It has been a bit since we last posted. Well the main reason is that we haven't been up to much. As most of you know our lives right now are work and school. But once in a while we find a fun thing to do with each other and today we picked carving pumpkins. So we went and picked up two pumpkins that we thought were just right. We spent about two seconds trying to figure out what we were going to carve. Nikki said she wanted to do a Minnie Mouse so i thought it was only right to do Mickey Mouse to match. So we Printed out the thing telling us how to do it and we followed it the best we could. I must say they didn't turn out to bad!
Here is a picture of them with the lights on. Here is a picture of them with them with the lights off!
We had alot of fun and found out that we actually have a little artist inside of both of us!
