Thanksgiving in California

Our Thanksgiving break was so much fun! Anytime we can get away as a family, out of “life as we know it” and into a daily circumstance that doesn’t truly exists for any family with a sick child is so gratifying for all of us. Driving wasn't all that easy on Trey's back as I had predicted but adjustments were made for the ride home which made for a much, much better experience. Universal Studios was such a blast! The big guys went on all the rides with daddy while mommy took Trey to get his face painted and to play games…his pirate face turned out awesome and he even won a prize playing games...happy, happy was this little boy! The Disney Studio’s did it up in Grande style! The boys had the best time swinging and jumping around, learning to draw from an actual Disney animator, as well as seeing the sneak preview of Disney’s, The Princess and the Frog but the best time’s for Trey were the ones with “the man” himself, Mickey Mouse and to our surprise, meeting and talking to not once but three times (my baby has a crush) princess Cinderella. How do you put a price tag on that? Here are the boys in the middle of our drive home - working to pay for their vacation Thank you John, Joyce, Cathy and Bryan for offering to celebrate Thanksgiving with us on Sunday. The food was terrific, the family time was just what we needed, and if only our Cardinal Birdies would have won, the day would have been that much more perfect, ha-ha. We were able to take advantage of the Disney offer and still provide a traditional Thanksgiving for the boys...for that we are thankful!
