Doggie flannel shorts for Sophia – a practice pair to check for the correct size. The pj bottoms and robe will be Sophia’s Christmas gift, both are flannel. And a white satin bowtie, a request from Avery to wear to the school Christmas program.

Coffee with a friend
Sue Schooley, a fellow LCI, and I caught up over coffee today. And I was able to give her a mini-quilt I made for her using t-shirts she had collected from the annual bike festival that she organizes every year for the city of Roseville. She hung it in her office and sent me a picture.
Babysitting SAC
SAC = Sophia, Avery, and Carson. It was Thais’ company’s Christmas party. Carson tried to sit in the doll stroller, unsuccessfully.
Until Big Sister came to help him.
Carson’s very patient older brother.
RLEHS Sunday Social
The annual Christmas potluck.
Fund-raising raffle prizes.
A group from Calvary Lutheran Church lead us in singing carols.
And there was a 3-way tie for the Cranberry Throwdown.

Disneyland
Today was much more crowded.
First ride – the Haunted House – where we got stuck twice and listened to ongoing repeats of the script.
Afternoon parade.
The little elf was so cute and frequently chewed on the rope in front of her while the princess in the blue dress pirouetted.
California Adventure
We got in one hour early because we stayed at a Disney hotel, so by 8:20, we’d ridden the Cars ride TWICE!
The crowds would arrive later.
Street entertainers.
The Luigi ride – little cars doing a dance routine to a fun song. Hilarious smile-maker!
Air filter swag and crescent wrench stars.
Sully!
Tower of Terror – another great ride!
On the way back to the hotel that evening, our last stop was at one of my favorites: the Legos store!
Adventure with Adrienne
Ade and I flew to Orange County on Tuesday and took the Disney shuttle to Paradise Pier Hotel.
We checked out Downtown Disney in the late afternoon:
Entertainers in lobby of the Grand Californian:
Behind them a 7’x12′ Gingerbread House with 25 hidden Mickeys:
Happy Birthday Lisa
At the end of service:
Then Amara came down the aisle:
Just what Lisa needed to be mobile!
Night after Thanksgiving
Who came over for drinks and snacks on Friday night?
Yes, Dave was there. And Phyl, Carol, and Jerry.
How we took the picture (LOL):
Happy Thanksgiving
The star:
Cousins and friends in motion:
Meanwhile, Justin was in Ventura at a race:
