Disneyland!

I was lucky enough to go to Disneyland (again) to visit some of the friends I made during the Disney College Program last year. It was SO much fun. It rained the entire time I was there, so unfortunately I couldn't see the parade or fireworks. Luckily I got to see a whole bunch of my friends Ali and Soheil and that totally made up for it.

The night I flew in, some of my friends threw a Christmas hotel party. It was so great to see so many of my old coworkers in one place! The next day I spent most of the day in Disneyland and I had tons of fun. Single Rider lines are my favorite. Oh, I got to meet Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. They were very nice. I visited my friend Soheil at work and then when he was finished he came over to my hotel to hang out. We went to Target and bought a buncha junk food, then went back to my hotel and watched Zenon! We were like a couple of teenage girls. It was so great. Does anyone remember this song? It's probably one of my favorites.

Then on Sunday, I met up with Ali and Soheil for breakfast, and Ali's work shift was canceled so we got to play in the park ALL DAY. It was super fun! Then we had dinner at the Blue Bayou, watched World of Color, and then we had a slumber party! (Zenon:Z3 was on... TERRIBLE movie. It wasn't nearly as entertaining as Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century)

Unfortunately, Ali had work early, but Soheil and I hung out for a little bit and then he drove me to the airport. It was a pretty eventful trip, especially considering it was only a few days long.

Here are some pretty pictures:

Mickey and Walt looking out toward Main Street. Can't blame 'em, it's awful pretty.

Me and Minnie! I didn't even have to wait in line to see her.

For your viewing pleasure:

Now do you understand why the Christmas Fantasy Parade is one of my favorite things on EARTH?! Eh, didn't think so. I'll just love it enough for the both of us.

Thanksgiving (Part 2)

So I guess since it's Christmas Eve, it's about time to write about Thanksgiving. So the day after I drove home (I got to go home on Monday night, which was SO nice!), there was a gigantic blizzard. Everyone in Salt Lake downplayed it a lot (because honestly, there wasn't much of a tangible blizzard) but in the Logan area I guess it was awful, so I'm really glad I missed it.

So I got to be home for a few days before partaking of the divinity that is my mother's Thanksgiving dinner. I was so excited for the food and the lovely company that I never took pictures of the finished product... But here's a picture of the best mashed potatoes EVER (mid-production):
It was really fun having some of the Mumford and Healy clans over to join in the festivities. Dinner was fantastic and it was fun to hang out after. The next day, we all went to see "Tangled." It was hilarious though, because they started showing the wrong movie. We were all sitting there, the theater full of CHILDREN, and they started showing previews for creepy, violent, R-rated movies like "True Grit" and "The Black Swan." Then "Love and Other Drugs" started playing. It took everyone a minute to figure out what was going on, then all the parents started covering their children's eyes and I'm pretty sure at some point I yelled, "Shield your children!" Someone went out and told them the wrong reel was playing and they turned on the right movie. It was pretty hilarious.

Then over the weekend we got to go to the Utah v. BYU football game! It was so much fun. It was bloody cold, but we had a great time... Especially since we won :)

Here we are all decked out in our U stuff.

The final score

Welp, that pretty much sums up Thanksgiving! I'd say it was a success.
