Merry Birthday?!


For our Christmas present, my parents sent all their kids and themselves on a cruise to Ensenada, Mexico. We left on a Wednesday and got home on a Monday afternoon. The ship didn't leave port until Friday, so we decided that we should probably go to Disneyland on Thursday, you know since we were in the area. Nick and I got spoiled and my parents actually bought our hopper tickets for our respective birthdays.

At the Fiesta...

Nick and I absolutely loved Disneyland and California Adventure. The best part was of course being able to lead everyone into California Adventure and being able to ride the Tower of Terror before anyone else that day. We both hadn't been there in a long time so it was so amazing to get to go and be a kid again. The cruise was also a lot of fun as well as Mexico. In Mexico we got a chance to tour Ensenada and attend a fiesta complete with a pinata. I got a fake tattoo and learned a new county line dance on the boat and Nick got a chance to hang with the boys for awhile. Best part of the cruise of course was the food though. Who can hate on 24 hour soft serve? Oh, and also the actually food too. It was such a great vacation and we were so glad that we could spend it with my crazy family.

Halloween!

We had a pretty low key Halloween this year. I had a busy day at work with our annual Fall Festival and a bizillion little kids running around like princesses or superhero, but it was a lot of fun. My favorite costumes were Chicken little and Nemo complete with one regular size fin and one lucky one. Nick and I went over to my parent's house to see the kids all dressed up before they went trick or treating and to make halloween pumpkin pizzas. It's a silly tradition but I still love those pizzas even if they only taste alright. I hope everyone had a good Halloween as well!
