The Nielsen Family

If you are around Zack for 3 minutes or more, you will know he's a HUGE Cars fan. He was so excited to see a picture of Mater! This is the only picture we have of all three kids with a character! I think this is my favorite Disneyland picture! Thanksgiving Dinner: pizza, cupcakes, and yes, a bowl full of M&M's. What can you expect when Goofy is the Chef? We ate Thanksgiving dinner (sort of) at Goofy's Kitchen. This is our whole group, except for Michael and Sarah's family. My pictures aren't in order, but this was late at night after watching fireworks. We walked out of one of the stores and found cute little Mickey standing there all by himself. All the kids were asleep, but I had to wake up Zack to see his favorite mouse. The greatest snow on earth isn't in Utah. Cadence was 16 months old when she went to Disneyland for the first time. Pluto has always been the sweetest character to her (even on the Disney Cruise) so she always gets really excited to

Micah was able to come home from Kosovo for a few days over Thanksgiving. He wanted to spend most of his time with Shalice and Bailey (of course!) but he was gracious enough to have dinner with all the Nielsen's one night. It was fun to see him, and my kids are some of his biggest fans! He will be home for good in April, and we're so excited! I thought this picture was cute. John spent the whole night trying to figure out what the little kids were saying. Can't you see the effort on his face? My kids at a restaurant usually goes something like this. Lynda brought a cake with a tank on the top. Micah was nice enough to give it to Zack! Such a cute family! Micah's adoring neices and nephews. He's buff. Zack is not light. Aww! This is Carlie meeting her uncle for the first time.
