Disneyland!

The Petersen side of our family went on a way fun trip to Disneyland for Thanksgiving. It ended up being 24 people total! It was crazy fun! We had these great hotel rooms that were suites with kitchens in them and we shared with the cousins. The kids all loved to run crazy all over the elevators and all the rooms (it totally drove poor Grandpa crazy, he was being the responsible adult and didn't want the kids to get taken). My favorite memory was seeing the cousins all playing together, and you could just feel how much they missed each other and how much love they have for each other. To me that was better than any ride or treat Disneyland could offer. We had matching t-shirts made for us to wear there and it was fun to see all the white shirts, people must have thought we didn't know what birth control was or something with all these kids! At Disneyland Emma and Taylor ran opposite directions the entire time so we were always having to chase after them. Chase was a real trooper and really loved the Pirates of the Caribbean ride the best. Chad was right at home and took the liberty of escorting the teenagers to all the fun rides. Emma would get scared at the beginning of rides and then after it was over she would beg to go again! Taylor really liked the merry-go-round and the mickey mouse shaped suckers. Grandpa Pete was so sweet to Demi and let her hang on him all night the last day we were there, she loved it! Taylor was Grandma's shadow there and followed her everywhere, although she really liked her uncle Tagg and keeps asking where he is. We had such a fun time seeing everyone together- it just wasn't long enough and it never really is!
