For this trip we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge. It was fairly close to the Magic Kingdom park so we would take boat rides.
This is one of my favorite all time pictures. I still have it framed to this day.
My favorite meal thusfar has got to definitely be Cinderella's Castle.
We had lunch on our visit. It was ahhhhmazeballs! I may have boys, but Drew was too young to notice we were surrounded by all Princesses. Right before you eat you can meet Cinderella. The boys get a sword as a little gift...
Magic Kingdom of course was my favorite park. So much to do there, however, to my surprise there is only Cinderella's Castle and Crystal Palace as sit down restaurants to eat at. Crystal Palace was, has, and will always be my least favorite place to eat. Yuck.
Some of our favorite memories from Hollywood Studios were AEROSMITH. The most awesome roller coaster EVER. The hubs and I rode many times...
(Don't we look soo young??)
Another favorite has to be Toy Story Mania. Longest wait I have ever waited. 2 hours to ride this thing. But totally worth it...
We also met Winnie the Pooh and Friends at Crystal Palace. (The restaurant I do not recommend.)
But we got some cute pictures! :)
Always on the last day at Disney we eat breakfast at O'Hana resturant. Again, ahhhmazing food!!

Thanksgiving with the family went great! We played our usual card games of 31. For money. Or coins in my case (inside joke) and had a blast.
I always enjoy spending time with my family. I feel like that is what the Holidays are about.
Being with Family!

Later that afternoon Drew had a Thanksgiving Play.
He did great. I could hear him singing very loudly!
He was Corn in the play. Each time the readers said "corn" his line was to pop up and jump and down and say "Pop! Pop! Pop!" It was too cute.
After their play each classroom sang a color song...
Drew for some reason stood to his side to sing the WHOLE TIME!
No idea why?!?!
What a handsome little corn...
We did not do much at all Thanksgiving Day.
We all slept in. We had dino nuggets and french fries for lunch. Yes, dino nuggets. Ha.
We did not have to be anywhere until 5 and I was not about to cook a big ol' Thanksgiving feast for just the four of us.
Guess what Drew knows how to do now?!
TIE HIS SHOES!!
He has been doing it for a couple of weeks now.
I totally think teaching how to tie shoes is much harder to teach than potty training.
So glad that is over!
Here he is showing Jingles (Elf on the Shelf) that he can tie his shoes...
I set the self timer on my camera and tried to get a couple family pictures.
Somehow I sat the camera to take 10 pictures at a time for self timer and the boys thought it was HILARIOUS!
(PS--Dylan refuses to take off his hat. Ever. He wears a hat every single day including family picture time.)

We headed out later that night to Justin's parents house where we also celebrated Pawee's birthday.
Justin's family also has a little tradition to let the grandkids decorate their tree Thanksgiving night.
My boys had a great time doing so.
Our Thanksgiving was very calm and relaxing.
I DID go Black Friday Shopping. This was my 4th year going. I love it.
I am not the type that is going to fight for an item by any means, but it is just fun to get with your girlfriends and stay up all night to shop. Especially when you are getting such great deals.
There are quite some characters out though, that's for sure.
If someone wanted to fight me for an item, I would just let them have it. I would rather pay the extra money.
Some of the housewives and I shopped from 8pm to 3am. It was a lot of fun, but I was exhausted!
Justin and the boys let me sleep in until 12:30!!
Now, I should be getting my house ready for Thanksgiving with my family that I am hosting tomorrow. I am so nervous about cooking this turkey. I had no idea that I even needed to thaw out the thing until the other day. Ha. I cook a lot and love to cook, but this is nerve racking.
After all, it is the most important part of the Thanksgiving Meal!
AHHHH!!!
Wish me luck!!!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving as well!!

If you know my father at all then you know that he is hunt-a-holic. All my life that is all he has done...HUNT!
I even went with him a few times when I was little, have a scar under my eye to prove it.
The time I remember very well is the time when I was all bundled up in a one piece camo suit.
I kept telling my Dad I had to pee. He would not let me go. He said the deer would smell it and not come around.
I think I was like in 2nd Grade. I could not hold it in any longer, so I peed myself. Ha. Yep. Totally did. Needless to say, we did not hunt that day.
My Dad has been asking for me to let Drew go stay at his cabin and hunt with him.
(My Dad and another friend of his have a cabin and lots of acres of land they call "Monkey Island" in Harrisburg.)
He takes my nephew Chandler all the time. BUT, me?! I just was not ready yet. I mean, we all remember I was a basket case just sending him to Kindergarten.
Finally...I decided to say YES! And on the 1st day of shotgun season at that. Sounds a little contradicting, huh?!
Drew was so excited to go! He became a little iffy about it that morning saying he was scared, but then changed his mood quickly.
Are these two boys not the cutest little deer hunters you have ever seen?!?!
This is my Dad. He does not smile for pictures. Clearly. He was so happy to take the boys. He was lucky enough to be blessed with three girly girls, so he is sucking up the boy hobbies with the grandkids.
He is about to shoot his first gun...
I think we may have found what Santa will be bringing him for Christmas...a BB gun!
I had a mini-photo shoot with him. Like seriously, I have a problem. I can't just get one. I have to get many.
Love his cute little face...
There he goes...they are packed and ready to get some deer!!
Did I mention that Dylan BALLED his eyes out because he wanted to go hunting SOOO bad,
but I know him very well, there is no way he would have sat there for hours quietly.
He kept saying on the way out to my Dad's: "I wanna shoot some deers!"
So Grandpa Bruce let him shoot some deers!! (fake ones that is)
Not long into the hunting, like maybe an hour in, I received this picture from my Dad...
YAY!!
THEY GOT THEIR FIRST DEER!!!
SUCCESSFUL FIRST DEER HUNTING TRIP!!!
You see that deer right there too?!? As I was trying to get pictures of Drew, I kept thinking and asked:
"How do you know it is dead?! What if it comes back to life?"
Right after I said that, my nephew, Chandler, picked up the deer's antlers which raised the body of the deer and I seriously thought it was coming back to life. I screamed bloody murder, grabbed Drew, and started running. Poor Chandler, he had no idea what the heck I was screaming for. And more importantly, poor Drew. He started crying thinking the deer had come back to life. My gosh. Scariest thing ever. But now, funniest thing ever.
Drew is definitely ready to go back hunting! Looks like him and Grandpa Bruce are going to have some good times bonding.
Let's just hope he does not pee his pants like his Mommy did. ;)

Drew
Dylan
Family
Real Housewives of Williamson County
Soccer
"Please stamp me lightly, I'm a Soccer Mom."
After we left P3, we headed out to Don Taco. I laughed so hard I couldn't talk.
Aren't those always the best times?!
Saturday we headed to Sikeston, Missouri for a Soccer Tournament for Drew.
I became THAT Mom that was on the sidelines not sitting in my seat, yelling at Drew, jumping up and down when they were about to score, running up the sidelines.
I, yes ME, Brista, can NOT wait for next Soccer season. I love watching Soccer. It's so intense and so fun!
I also can NOT wait for Dylan to be release fully from the Orthopedist.
We had his 6 week follow up appointment yesterday and while he has clinically healed, his x-rays show it is not completely healed. It is healing correctly just not 100% yet.
He does not have to wear his sling or brace anymore. PTL.
(Even though we skipped a few days. Shhh..)
He still has to take precautions because he is at a high risk for re-fracturing the clavicle.
So Dr said no wrestling...(how did he know?), amongst other crazy activities.
We got back 5 days before Christmas for another x-ray and hopefully be released!
