The day before Thanksgiving, 4 of us 7 kids and our families went to Disneyland. It surprisingly went well. Everyone got along.
E., Jacob and Buzz

All the kids at Disneyland except 2
Thanksgiving morning we had a family handball tournament. CA style.
After Thanksgiving dinner we had a talent show. My bro-in-law and niece sang and signed Josh Groban's: You raise me up
Jacobsen family talent was a human pyramid
Grandpa played the bones and the harmonica: I am a child of God, while all everyone else sang along. Amazing. I had no idea he could play.

I think this is everyone we had for Thanksgiving except 2. Grandpa who is taking the pic (don't worry he was in many other pics) and a neighbor guy who just didn't want his photo taken. (Maybe he's a vampire)
My grandparents and all their great grandchildren
My BFF Mimi come over to visit the whole fam and brought treats for all the kids.
Our rejected Christmas photos
Kennas birthday party. She had a cupcake themed party. We had tacos for dinner, then decorated our bakers hat and then decorated cupcakes.
Kenna throwing bean bags into a cupcake pan.
Kenna decorating her cupcake. I think she eventually used all the nerds on this one cupcake.
I made fancy cupcake wrappers and little cupcake pops. Those are the little cupcakes in the background.
And one big cupcake with 2 candles to blow out!!
She was so excited about every gift she opened.
Jacob just got back from his first snowboard trip of the season. He and his dad have season passes so I may not see much of them this winter.
