Meeting the Gustavsons

Our trip down south included Addison meeting Uncle Bob, Aunt Barbara, Cousin Danny & Christina and Uncle Bob's Mom... she loved all the attention.

and Ethan had a wonderful time eating spaghetti!

Warner Brothers Studio Tour

One of the highlights from our quick trip down south...

Private Tour of Warner Brothers Studio by Ron's Cousin Brad - sound stages, museums (the entire 2nd story devoted to Harry Potter films), costume warehouse, outdoor filming locations - all within the 110 acre Warner Brothers Lot.

This is a set... not a real street, not real stores, not real trash cans, not real street lights, etc...

Just a small, small portion of the Costume Warehouse

Start of the Day... beautiful weather & happy kids

Thanks Cousin Brad!!!

Disneyland

Here is Ethan with Mickey Mouse. We are taking a break now and are back at the hotel room. I have been trying to get Ethan to take a nap but in protest he stripped down naked and started yelling. I guess it wasn't the best idea to take a 5 year old away from Disneyland and try to force him to take a nap.

Addie's Dessert

After Addison had her pears for dinner last night, Grandpa decided it was time for her to try a little whip cream for dessert. She wasn't quite sure what to make of it at first but she soon decided it was yummmmmy!!!

Thoughts about Family... by Ethan

My favorite thing about the holidays is being together with my family. This is a photo that was taken of everyone at Thanksgiving. I went through the photo with Ethan and asked him to tell me what he thinks of when he hears each family member's name... no editing!!!

Uncle Cory - I want to ride bikes with him
Auntie Katie - plays with legos with me
Uncle Zach - he wrestles with me
Auntie Erin - she told me to go to the snow with her
Auntie Devyn - she gives me kisses
Uncle Jason - he rode my roller skates with me
Rich - ryann plays with me
Auntie Brittani - I like her house
Cara - she is a baby like Addie
Ryann - I like to play with Ryann a lot
Grandma - she loves to give me kisses and play with me and gives me toys
Grandpa - go hiking with me
Ashley Mom - she loves me
Daddy - he works a lot with me
Addison - I play with her and laugh with her

You can tell Ethan loves his family too... more to come from hubby's side of the family soon!!! I just need to find a photo of everyone.
