Christmas Parade

We went to the Christmas parade.

I got all five to ride on the train.  

They got to go on the extreme jump.

They had a great time.

The parade was perfect.  Short and sweet. 

It was a cold day and raining.

Santa ended the parade in the fire truck.  The kids had a little candy and we headed home to warm up.

December is so busy and fun.  I look forward to it all and look forward to everything back to routine.  haha

Christmas lights and Birthday

Dallin had a Poetry Slam.  He had two great poems.

Aaron has been enjoying joy school still.

We went sledding.

I had Evan on my shoulder and Aaron on my hip to watch the Square light up.

It was a fun night.

Fireworks and music.

We have lots of leaves to rake.  Aaron enjoys it.

Joshua turned 12 yesterday.  We took him paintballing on Saturday.  It was good time.  I can't believe how big he is getting.

He asked for a kit kat m&m cake. We are so grateful for Joshua.  He is turning out to be an impressive young man.  

Michael painted crafts with the kids

They had a good time.

Thanksgiving Week!

We ran on the beach during sunrise each morning.  It was gorgeous!

We hung out with cousins.

We played at the beach daily.

Some mornings were a little cold

Halloween and a few visitors

We had this chicken wander into our yard.  She has not left yet.  The kids are having fun checking out what she is doing in the yard.  We are trying to get a friend who lives in the country to come grab her.

We also had a cat come visit.  Evan is so good to animals.  We found the cat's owner so she has been returned.

Aaron had Joy School on Halloween.  They wore their costumes.  They all looked so cute.

I made rice krispy pumpkins for the neighborhood Halloween party.

My neighbor decorated her house so it was haunted.

The kids had a great time with it.  I love our neighbors and neighborhood.

We all ate dinner and went trick or treating.
