Disneyland: Thornock Style!!! January 2009

For Grandpa Sugar's 65th birthday, we took a fun trip over to Disneyland and Cali Adventure in January. Of their 8 kids, 5 of the kids with their families were able to come along with 2 of our really great family friends. There were well over 40 people in our group. Here are just some of the bunches of pictures that we took. It was a party from minute one and we had such a fantastic time!!! Can't wait until the next trip.

I caught this sweet moment on film. Lauryn is reading a story to Brynlyn as they snuggle underneath this warm blanket. Brynlyn looks like she is in hog heaven! I love this moment.

A big girl party

Lauryn on the train

The girls had a bunch of friends come over and play this evening. We ate pizza, played like crazy, took rides on the train, roasted marshmallows and made smores in the fire pit outside, and played some more. They all had a great time and it was fun to have all of these fun girls over. We're grateful for them for the fun friends they are to our girls.

Ashlyn's impromptu party

So Ashlyn had an impromptu party today. A bunch of her friends decided to come over after school today and we had a ball with them. They are all such neat and energetic girls and we're so happy they're such great influences for good for Ashlyn. She adores them all and they are always welcome at our house!
