Santa made it!!!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. At our house we officially started the count down at 45 days and we made it.

Sydney and Kaden got up at 4:30 this morning well Kaden wouldn't have gotten up but we are sure his sister woke him up. So we had them go back to bed until 6:30.

Sydney and Kaden beautiful Gingerbread house.
Christmas Morning

Christmas Program

Last night was Sydney's Christmas program. She did an awesome job, and to our surprise she also had a xylophone solo in a song named CCCCCC-cold.

Seasons Greetings!!!

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

In the anticipation of Christmas we went and cut down our tree a little early. Kaden for the last two months has just been beside himself with anticipation for this time of the year, and he could not wait to cut down a tree.

Kadens four wheeler goes everywhere he does if possible.
This is the tree we cut down.

Happy Holidays!!!

Christmas Crafts

Well lately I have had a new obsession with Craft blog Surfing, there are some amazingly creative people out there. My sister Jennifer called me the other day and we sat on the phone and surfed for craft projects for about and hour and a half, it was alot of fun and now I am hooked. Here are some of the projects that I have found and made for myself. I wish I could claim the ideas for my own.

There are probably some other things that I could be doing around my house, but they might just have to wait.

Don't worry I will not be hanging it on my door until after Thanksgiving, we just wanted to see how it turned out.

Instructions:

1. Find some ornaments that you love.

2. Hot glue the tops of the ornaments on.

3. String the Ornaments on a clothers hanger wire.

4. Twist the ends of the wire together and find a piece of clother or ribbon to hang it with.

Happy Halloween

Halloween is here once again, my kids were on a super hero kick this year. We carved pumpkins, attended the school Halloween carnival and received tons of candy seekers.

Is it just me or do my kids look like deer in headlights

Halloween Preview

This week we had a primary Halloween activity, there is nothing like getting two bags full of candy and the thought that we get to do it again next week.

We played all of the classic party games they got to go fishing and play toss the ring on the witches hat, and of course we went trunk or treating.

Snow

This week we woke up to our first snow. Thankfully it was only about an inch, and I am just hoping that this is not a sign of the kind of winter we are going to have.

Sydney and Kaden were excited to try it out.
