November

November brought some fun and some bittersweet experiences.
Kayla had her literature parade at school where she dressed up as Anne of Green Gables and paraded with her class.
I had date night with each of my boys.
My friend, Jackie and I took a girls' trip to San Diego which was much needed and wonderful.
Thanksgiving was spent at my house with Chris, Kelsey, Nana and Papa.
We also took a trip to Colorado to visit my Grandpa Simon for what would be the last time. :(
But the kids did enjoy their time with him and they really enjoyed time with friends and cousins in Colorado Springs.

October: Halloween

Halloween 2010 brought us a beautiful peacock and a dapper Indiana Jones.
We trick-or-treated with our neighbors and the Sotaks.
Tim and I attended a fun party with some friends. We dressed as Dexter and Rita from the show, "Dexter".

October: Disneyland and Hollywood

October was a fabulous month to visit Disneyland as the decorations were phenomenal and the evil characters were out and about!
What a blast!
Also, I have a slight addiction to theme park churros. :)
It was so fun to hang out in Hollywood for the day. The kids got to experience the walk of fame, famous theaters and the wax museum.

Catching up

October, November, December and January marked, quite possibly, the busiest months ever in the Dean household.
In October we:
took a trip to CA where we visited Universal Studios, Disneyland and Hollywood. Little did we know at that time, Miss Kayla would be back in Hollywood within weeks.
My favorite day of the trip was the day we planned on going to the beach.
However, it rained and rained so we ended up buying Mexican food and tons of candy and staying in our hotel room all day. We rented movies, ate, relaxed and did a lot of laughing as a family.
The rest of our trip wasn't too shabby either!
Here are pictures from Universal Studios:
