Thanksgiving weekend, and The Bakersfield Christmas parade

For Thanksgiving this year I decided to throw out the whole traditional turkey and stuffing... and we went to DISNEYLAND instead... we had gotten our free tickets from volunteering.... It was so much fun... we went with Kam's sisters and cousins and 2 other families from our ward here in Bakersfield.... the day was perfect and it wasn't too busy... the one complaint I have is that it was freezing at night so we couldn't hold on til midnight... even the kids were ready to leave by 9:30... we had corn dogs for thanksgiving dinner... and they were yummy.... I didn't get any pics of the older kids because they went off by themselves.... we just had Josiah for the day... but we had a lot of fun taking him on the little kiddy rides.. and and going into toon town... his favorite part would have to be the parade.. he was in such aww to see all his fav. movie characters in real life... there is a pic down below where he is on his daddy's shoulders... that was pretty much his expression through the whole parade...

on friday Josiah had tickets to the yo gabba gabba concert, that my mom had gotten him for his birthday... Tyler my 17 year old wanted to take him... so he, josiah and I drove up to L.a while the rest did some black friday shopping.... I dropped Ty and Josiah off... and I went to the L.A. temple to see the new visitors center.. It was amazing ... to go on my own and just walk through... it was so neat inside and out... I love it!!

on Saturday morning we went to take the kids to the cemetery to see Kam's grandma, grandpa, and cousin.. the kids were a big help in cleaning the headstones.... it was a nice moment with the kids. we then went to visit with my dad, Carmen, grandma, aunt and cousin... we had a big feast( which made up for the lack of on thanksgiving... it was so nice to just sit and talk and hang out.... and get full..LOL..after that we had to head home... it was a great weekend...

On Thursday this past week we had out Christmas parade here in town, and for the 2nd year in a row my daughter was in the parade with her girl scout troop... they won 2nd place again this year.... they made a train float and wore their jammies for the polor express.. it was a lot of fun for her...

P.S. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE FONT COLOR ON BLOGGER... I CANT FIND ANYMORE... IF YOU KNOW COMMENT ME HOW TOO... THANKS
