Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Our Thanksgiving this year was a little out of the ordinary this year, but very nice. Me (Becky) and the girls went to my parents house in Orlando the week before Thanksgiving and we flew home on Thanksgiving (yes, Brian had to stay behind, poor thing, but my parents promised him we'd be back for Thanksgiving). So, we were getting back in the afternoon, and I knew it would be at least 4:00 before we got home, so obviously I wasn't going to be cooking a turkey dinner that day. I thought we could just go out to eat that evening and then I would cook a nice turkey dinner that weekend sometime.
Well, Thanksgiving morning I woke up feeling like crap. I knew I was coming down with a real doozy of a cold. The trip home went fine, but by the time we were driving home, the idea of going out to dinner sounded absolutely dreadful. I was thinking maybe we could just go get a frozen pizza or something. Well, to my wonder and surprise, when we got home, I found a turkey cooking in the oven, and all the fixin's, including homemade rolls, already made and ready to be cooked. And who was the wonderful little elf who arranged all this? My very own Brian of course! Isn't he a sly dog? Well, it was just what the doctor ordered. The smell of yummy food cooking in my kitchen lifted me out of my sick gloominess, and we ended up having a great dinner, just the 4 of us. It was GREAT!
So, I thought I should put up a few pics from our trip to Florida. The weather wasn't super warm, just in the 60's during the day most of the time (which resulted in a "winter warning"), so there were no beach trips, but we still had a great time, especially going to the Magic Kingdom. It'll probably take a couple of postings to get all the pictures up that I want. So here goes:
The girls in my parent's backyard in the wagon.
Makayla with a lime we picked off my parent's lime tree behind her. They're about the size of oranges!
All of these pictures were taken at Downtown Disney. Downtown Disney isn't a park so you don't pay to get in, but it's on Disney property. It's basically a really large outdoor shopping area, with ginormous toy stores with play areas you could get lost in for days, a couple of rides and lots of fun things to see. At night you can even take a boat across the lake to Pleasure Island, which is tons of fun, too. It's a really fun place to hang out and let the kids play and do your Disney shopping without paying to go to a park.
