Guga's Last Day

It's always sad to see Guga leave, but before she did we thought she  needed just a little more Disney. We headed to downtown Disney to enjoy the nice weather and Guga while we had her.
Stopping for a quick picture with The Big Cheese
Lucy loves Donald and can say "Don Duck" as clear as a bell.
Ice skating with Anna and Elsa

We ended our visit with a cho-cho train ride. we live you Guga; come back again real soon.

Meanwhile, back at the Wigwam...

And our black Friday tradition continues, with a family costumes night. This years theme was Cowboys and Indians. Yeehaw, I  have thee coolest family ever. Ever since I as a kid I remember laughing and being silly with them. There is nothing better than time spent with family. Especially when it contains 100 feet of frilly crinoline, a bear skin hat, a tomahawk, and more boots, giant belt buckles, and mustaches than you could ever dream of lassoing up!
The family that has theme nights together...
Lucy was one of the first to come downstairs in her outfit. She was a super cute sheriff. 
Cousins, wanted for general acts of orneriness. 
Linny's face is priceless 
The Indians in our hunting party
Lauren must really love Doug
And then this happened. Vera in her suede cowgirl suit, thank you Aunt Heidi, and Guga in her 1970s square dancing outfit. There are no words, but I hope Vera looks back at this picture one day and smile.  
The new Apple Dumpling Gang
Hootin' and Hollerin'
"I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy".
Perfection
Well, they're all in the frame. Jackson's face is classic
Stealing a kiss from one of my favorite cowgirls
This about sums us up
Guga and her cowfolk
No big deal, just an Indian princess walking with a cowgirl 
Holy crinoline 
My favorite warrior...
Until he scalped Lucy.
Who wouldn't want to serve our group, amiright?
The newlyweds.
Yeeeeehaaaaw!


She stole Matthew's hat and then ate her macncheese with her boots on
Love it!
Linny gave me an Eskimo kiss
Yip yip, and a tomahawk chop
Larry won the award for most realistic dipiction of a cowboy. He even shaved his beard, and as you can tell his pardner in crime loved it!
I had a rootin' tootin' good time!

Black Friday Adventures

Black Friday lead to more family shenanigans. We loaded up the cars and headed to Disney to check out the hotel Christmas decorations, giant gingerbread house, and the tram/monorail.
