Thanksgiving get-together

This year was another get together at my parent's house!

And as always, a super delicious meal!

Milo is super excited!!

Especially because he's graduated from the high chair!

He's a big boy now.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Auntie here!

Thank you Auntie Erika for driving me around and picking Luka up from school!

I've been dealing with some eye issues lately and driving is currently a no-go!

And all this sunshine we're getting isn't helping either.

And these are photos taken by Auntie.

Luka gave a thumbs up and Milo "tried" to make a thumbs up ^_^

sister date!

It was an impromptu sister date last weekend!

Erika had tickets to a baseball game so I tagged along--got some beer and food!

O, I forgot to mention it was all about Pearl Jam.

Erika, the biggest PJ fan I know, had special tickets to get a PJ shirt and they even had PJ beer cups you can buy.

We kinda sorta made it on the evening news that night...

This filter is ♥♥♥

It's so ridiculous and photoshopped and un-human like features but it's so fun!

My freckles and bags under my eyes are gone!

DISNEYLAND Trip!! ♥♥♥

I wish I took more videos of our trip but I wanted to enjoy the 'moment'.

I managed to get a few clips so here's a video I put together.

♥♥

In all, this was a great trip!

Everything went smooth--the kids had a blast--I had a blast--We went on so many rides.

I can't wait to go back again with Milo next time!

I decided to book a Disney trip for us about 2 months ago.

We booked a 4 day trip to California and it was awesome♥

I was especially nervous about the flight.

Kai hadn't flown since he was an infant...and this was Luka's first time.

I wondered if they would be scared and cry....but no! They were so excited and the take off and landing was like a fun ride to them! Phew.

We were greeted at our hotel by Disney characters!  

Including my favorite Stitch.

The Hotel view was amazing!

We had the full view of California Adventure Park.

We even caught a night show one of the nights.

Early morning Cars Land.

This was Kai's favorite and probably mine too.

The Cars ride was very popular..we managed to get on it early in the morning without waiting too long. It's not a roller coaster ride but definitely a fast ride.

I watched the video I took and couldn't help but notice the Kai's facial reaction.

Clench!

A little terrified I suppose?

This was so great!

We were in Cars Land just as they started to light up the signs, just like the movie!

It was amazing♥

We met Cruz Ramirez!

She's a new character from the Cars 3 movie.

She even talked back!

Disneyland♥

I visited Tokyo Disneyland many many times, so I always get thrown off by the size of the castle.

Anaheim has Aurora's castle which is much smaller.

Tokyo has Cinderella's castle.  (As does Disney World)

Train ride in Fantasy Land.

Toon town!

While Kai, Daddy and Auntie went on a roller coaster ride, Luka and I ventured around Toon Town.

We visited Goofy's house..then Minnie and then Mickey's.

Also, all  days were 80+ degrees. 

We were in a heatwave.  

Kai really loved this one--Autopia.

He took the wheel and was loving it!

These are fun!

Splash Mountain photo with Erika.

You can buy these photos for a whopping $40 but instead, most people will take a photo with their smartphone.  Hence, the quality of the pictures.

Cars ride!

In the front row, Me-Kai-Auntie Erika.

O! And in case you were wondering what James looks like on a Splash Mountain ride, well you're in luck!  Here's a super rare photo of James, having a blast!

Doesn't he look so happy??

^_^

All in all, the kids were well behaved the entire trip!

Kai fell asleep on the bus back to the airport.

Keeping them busy and entertained!

The last stretch!

10pm--waiting for our shuttle back to the parking garage.

What a trip!
