We went to a horse rescue today where the kids are going to start caring for and riding rescued horses and give them companionship during their road to rehabilitation. They wash and brush them and then saddle up and ride.

January tradition
Every year in January we visit a local park and pick a few bags of oranges. It is so much fun!

Disneyland!
Our family vacation this week was a theme park adventure. We are, of course, exhausted from our trip, though we were treated to seeing a couple different sets of friends at the park. One would think we would have time to enjoy the OC culture outside the park, but all we seem to be able to do is get there and back and fall asleep. The RV has served us well; I feel spoiled to get to make a sandwich in the parking lot! Today is our last day at Disney and tomorrow will be Knotts Berry Farm. Alex has the rides all figured out, and Isla got to go on Space Mountain after we put gloves in her shoes to give her that last inch! I will be sad when school starts Monday.

What a lucky week!
Our ever talented children have impressed their mother this week. Kelsey and Kaiden BOTH won the excellence award for their reflections entries and are moving on to state level. Kesley for her painting and Kaiden for his musical composition.
Want more? Kelsey designed a bookmark for her school library contest and won that! More? She was chosen to be drum major in the Christmas Parade and will be leading the middle school school band! That 7th grade kid won out 8th graders on all three winnings this week. Way to go, Kelsey!
What talented children we have!
Their mother is busy at work preparing for company this week. We have a bunch of people we love coming to celebrate the holiday with us and I'm very excited! Yams and fudge made, cinnamon rolls made and ready to bake, rolls made into brown and serve and frozen. I'm so domestic this week! What could make things even better? Nothing but the stores choosing to start the black Friday sales today. That will make for a fabulous Saturday afternoon!
