Oh boy did we have fun in Minnesota at Thanksgiving!!

Now that Christmas is next week, I thought I'd post about Thanksgiving.
We went to Minnesota and...well...we got there...eventually! But once our plane took off, 23 hours late, we had a BLAST!
Emma and Ethan were rip roarin' to go celebrate!
I didn't get many pictures with cousins but I did get some of my kids the day we went to the Mall of America with my mother-in-law. It was super fun!
We just had to go to the LEGO store!
Emma loved the LEGO friends girl and dog all made of LEGOs!
I thought this was cool!
And the dragon peeping out from around the corner...awesome!
Then we hit Nickelodeon Universe!
Ethan helped Emma drive the kiddy bumper cars.
 Mike and I went on this awesome ride. Sponge Bob is NOT awesome and not allowed in my house, but the ride was fun!
Straight yup, straight down, upside down, curly q's all over the place. It was fun, I wanted to go again, but my old body couldn't take it. I was still nauseous 9 hours later and sleep was the only thing that got rid of it!
I would go on the ride again...next time!
Ethan's favorite ride from last year was Swiper's Sweeper so we had to go there.
Mike helped Emma drive and she loved it!
 Ethan on his FAVORITE ride!
 My E's on blue's Skidoo. Very similar to the Dumbo ride at Disneyland.
 Jackson had a good time, not riding rides, but walking around with Grandma, she even got him to sleep which is hard to do when he's not in a bed.
After all the fun LEGOing and Nickelodeon Universeing, we went to the Nestle Toll House shop...my choice. We ate cooking and since we only had a few minutes until Santa returned from his break, we hung out eating our cookies and being the first ones in line to see Santa.
Jackson loved his cookie!!
Ethan asked for the Death Star ($400) LEGO set
Emma asked for a big, pink doll house ($reasonably priced)
Jackson yelled (priceless)
The best thing I saw while waiting in line to see Santa...a sign that read "When you stop believing in Santa, you get underwear!" If you see a sign like this, know where to get one, let me know. I may just have to make one, but I need one cause we believe in Santa around here!

Aww, that makes me so nostalgic for Minnesota! I had heard that camp snoopy wasn't there anymore, but didn't know it was Nickelodeon now. My kids would love the rugrats ride! I am glad you guys made it and had fun. I love all of the pictures - they are way too cute to not post!
