Katie Bungee Jumping

So we borrowed my cousins Jason's house for Sarah's birthday party last week, and let's just say, it's 1 part house, 3 parts amusement park. It was a blast, anyway, here is a video of Katie bungee jumping in the living room. :)

This was our second year participating in this 5K and it was a blast! Everyone wears Santa suits and we try to win the world record for the most Santas. It was a lot of fun to do this with Mom and Dad Foote and Kimmy (we missed everyone else who couldn't come). This is definitely a fun tradition I think we will keep doing.

Sarah was super excited to see Santa at the library until we set her on his lap then this happened. haha. It's classic. Don't worry she was happy as soon as she got a candy cane afterwards. No permanent damage done.

Upside down on the Y

This was Danny's idea that I talked about in the last post: at the top of the Y you have to lie upside down on it. It was scarier to do than it looks and all the blood rushes to your head and you feel pressure like you are going to fall. Anyway, Danny didn't have very much support. I was supposed to be holding his feet to make sure he didn't fall and die--I'm afraid I barely held onto his toes. Good thing he is fearless....right? heehee

Hike the Y and Thanksgiving

This year we got to celebrate a Foote/Kelly family Thanksgiving in Provo,UT. It was lots of fun and it was so good to see everyone. We squeezed in some dodgeball, temple sealings, Foote Christmas gift exchange, and even hit some black Friday sales while we were there. Even though it was a Foote Thanksgiving year we got a double bonus because we also got to stay at the Gunnells (my sister Mary and her fun family) house and go to the BYU vs. Utah football game with them too. It was a blast. Thanks guys! Tyler and I hiked the Y for the first time ever this trip with them and it feels good to say that I've done it. I can't believe I went to the Y all those years and never did it. I kind of regretted not doing it and so I feel good to have it checked off my list now. Yay. even laid upside down at the top of the Y (Danny's idea) and didn't die. I can say that I have lived now. And am officially a true blue cougar (now I just need to ride the Cougar because apparently that is another cliche BYU student thing that I missed out on) ;)

Sarah Loves Carousel Rides

The Carousels were actually one of the Sarah's favorite rides at Disneyland. She wanted to ride them over and over and over again. She also liked Dumbo, Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, and SMALL WORLD (it was decked out for Christmas already). And she loved seeing the characters.

Okay--this was really awesome. I've never had this happen to me before at Disneyland (California Adventure), but we toured the Boudin factory and tortilla factory as we traditionally do because they give you a free small sample of the goodness. Anyway, we did the tour at Boudins and got a small sample in the beginning and then at the end this nice lady came up and gave us a FREE Mickey Mouse Sourdough bread in a bag!!! It made me feel HAPPY! I don't know if they were just doing this because they had extras or what, but let me tell ya I think it was awesome and they helped make Disneyland live up to it's "happiest place on earth" slogan for me.

We went to Disneyland in late November. It was so much fun!!! Sarah really loved seeing all of the characters and she was so excited to be there. Seeing her excitement really made the trip magical for us. It was fabulous. It was fun to have Grams and Grampy there with us for a day too. We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel so Sarah could still easily get a nap in during the day--I highly recommend it.
