Santa Claus is coming to town...

As many of you might know, the London Bridge is located here in Havasu. There is a small (and very humble) little English Village underneath the bridge. Well, every year the village decorates for Christmas and they have a lighting ceremony on the friday after Thanksgiving. We try to go every year. This year the weather was really nice and warm and the kids all went up and talked to Santa. Chase wasn't sure he was going to but at the last minute he decided he didn't want to miss out on the whole Santa thing. Lane was very adamant about wanting a batman cave. Cade and Tally kept changing their minds. They got their candy canes and photos and off we went. Now, we just have to wait a few more days before Santa comes down our chimney! Merry Christmas.

Thanksgiving!

Its about time that I posted Thanksgiving stuff before Christmas comes! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. My two brothers, sister and two nieces that all live in CA came for the weekend. This is the first holiday where my parents lived here as well. It was nice to share the houses and it worked out very well. On Thanksgiving we went to our traditional park/football game in the morning. Then, we had appetizers and everyone but me went on the annual Thanksgiving Day Hike. They went to the Bill Williams River which is just south of here and flows into Lake Havasu. Despite the fact that the kids made "sand angels" (we're a little hard up for snow around here) and came back way less than clean, they had a great time and I was able to get dinner all ready and the table set, etc. Considering the state of our country and world, it was nice to spend a day being grateful for all the blessings our family has enjoyed this year. Another great day spent with the family.
