THANKSGIVING VACATION

Thanksgiving break was a very fun couple of days! We stayed here in Cali with my family and hung out with everybody. My brother Kyle came home from BYU and it was really fun to see him again. He is looking great. On Wednesday, the day that was supposed to be rainy, turned out to be a perfect day for Disneyland! It only rained for about 10 minutes total. The longest line we had was Buzz Lightyear. Taylor had a chance to finally go on the Pirate Ship, the Columbia. It hasn't been working for a while. He was hoping to meet Captain Jack Sparrow in person in New Orleans square but didn't get the chance. Anyways, we had a good time there as usual. Thanksgiving dinner was at my family's house in Glendora. My sister Sarah and her husband Rocky drove down from Orange County to join the festivities. I attempted to make the yams and they surprisingly turned out pretty good. They tasted like candy! We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and had time to just relax and eat... Taylor thankfully slept most of the dinner. He didn't want to try any of the food though after he woke up. He preferred his grilled cheese. But he did love the pumpkin pie! I preferred the key lime pie. We took some family pictures later on in the day. We haven't had one taken of all of us in a long time. Friday the girls all went out to a movie. We saw "Australia" and we all enjoyed it. It was super long but I always look forward to Baz Luhrman's work. He always does neat stuff. It was a fun Thanksgiving break and we are looking forward to Christmas break in Boise.

Eriksen didn't try any of the Thanksgiving dinner, either! Must be a cousin's pact!! We can't wait for you to come. Maybe you can make your yams. I love anything that tastes like candy!!

Your family picture is cute. Even the dog was in there. Capt. Jack ran right past us last time we were at Disneyland. He really did a good job acting. I thought it was Johnny Depp!
