Thanksgiving & Legoland!

What a great Thanksgiving week we've had! Hard to believe it's over already. We did a lot of relaxing over the past week, and it was so nice. The girls got to sleep in (well, Paige did...Reese is always up early) and hang out in pajamas a lot :) We visited with lots of family on Wednesday and Thursday and ate a ton of delicious food. I got to see my sister, whom I hardly ever see! And she only lives in Lake Alfred...geez.

Saturday was the most fun...Marshall and I took Reese to Legoland for her belated birthday gift. We originally wanted to try Disney, but then we realized Legoland was opening in mid-October. Yesterday was so perfect...the weather was awesome! She had a fantastic time. I was worried about how she would handle having to wait in lines, but she did a GREAT job! She rode the carousel twice and two other rides. One was a train with two-seater carts that went around in a circle really fast...kind of like the Himalayas from the fairs from back in the day. She also rode this helicopter-type ride where you pedal your feet and your chopper rises higher and higher while going in a circle. She squealed and laughed...she only got upset when the rides came to an end. She didn't want to get off of them. She walked the entire park and checked out a lot of the Lego-built structures. It is really a cool place...even if you aren't really interested in Legos.

They also have the Cypress Gardens part still open...it's still as pretty as ever. And the gazebo is still there! The lovely place where Marshall and I got married almost 12 years ago. Oh, the memories.... :)

The best part was that we were able to get in for free! Thanks to my awesome friend Jennifer, we only had to pay for parking. She has a friend who works there, and employees have a special pass that gets in so many people for free. She hooked us up! Thank you, Jennifer!!

Onto the plethora of pictures...there are a ton today!

Legoland fun! Although Reese's face doesn't look ecstatic in most of these pictures, she really did have a great time. She was more interested in moving than stopping for a posed photo. So don't let her serious look fool you :)

Whew! That's a lot of picture taking. That's it for now...see you next Sunday!
