Disneyland, again

We went to Disneyland for the day with my sister Karen and Ralph's brother Kent and his family. As always, it was the happiest place on earth. It was the first day it was decorated for Christmas.

It was a bit bright once the morning fog burned off.

Amber's favorite is the Merry Go Round.

After 11 hours in the park, "I'm so tired, but I'm still having fun!"

My girls didn't quite know what to do with sand at the park. Amber asked if she could take her shoes off, ready for a no answer, and was surprised when I said yes. All of the parks in Utah have bark.

Hannah wouldn't take her shoes off, but she did finally remember how to walk on sand.

My favorite cousin, Kendra.

November, Here and Gone

November started with a trip to This is the Place monument with our friends and their three little Bears. (That's their last name.)

And this is why we only buy washable markers. She even drew in her hair!

First Snow. Ready to play.

She finally caught the bug. She usually cried when I tried to dress her up.

Amber was so happy to have a dress up buddy, finally.

And then she tried Cinderella...

She stuck with Snow White. It's a little shorter so she didn't trip over it. She's pretty smart.
