Thanksgiving Weekend Highlights

A cranky Evy for our car drive down to So Cal there and back was definitely worth suffering through. The days spent in Yorba Linda and at the beach were beautifully warm and full of love and laughter. Oh, how I miss the warmth today.

Highlights of our trip include:

*a walk in the lakebed
*me pushing Eric into the pool (61 degree surface temp) and then Abby and Will jumping in
*our little family hanging out in the spa and Eric, me, Abby, and Will daring each other to jump into the pool one night
*Val's wonderful food
*playing games with Lynn
*Abby & Will playing games with their "boats" they made from plant leaves
*tide pools and beach with everyone
*getting a hug from Celia
*Bri's face when she saw Horace, my horse puppet, sticking out my window as we carpooled to In 'n Out
*house hunting with Ananda and Matt
*learning more about Steve-O's Alaskan adventures
*finishing the 5K run better than I thought I would
*having my children entertained by their awesome aunts and uncles
*watching Evy and Celia dance to the gummy bear song
