Brenna's Christmas program!

Brenna had her kindergarden program at school yesterday. She was so cute up there singing all of the songs and doing the actions. She is getting so big and doing well in school. It is so much fun at this age, they love school so much.

Our Tree!

Christmas tree!

We have our tree up, but we had to put it on a table chest thing so Brig would not get to it. I finally wrapped some presents yesterday so the tree doesn't look so naked at the bottom. I love Christmas and how the kids get so excited about everything. We are going out this Mon to have everyone get a present for the name they picked, that should be interesting. I think I am almost done with presents thank goodness it always seems to take forever.

Brig has a ton of hair!

Weekend Review!

Well we had an eventfull Thanksgiving. My brother and his family came from Phx for the weekend and Nathan's sister and her family came also. The kids always love playing with their cousins, and were outside most of the weekend which was good because they can be quite loud. We went to Nathan's dads on Wed to celebrate a nephews b-day and then thursday I went and helped my mom cook and get everything ready for dinner. Nathan was at his dad's most of that day until it was about time to eat. Everything was yummy and my pies turned out great. I am officialy ready for Christmas, went shopping Friday morning, not early though and got most of the shopping done. That is always a relief once that is finished, I feel like I can enjoy everything else. We usually decorate on Nathan's mom's b-day as a rememberance of her, she loved Christmas so much but we will have to wait because he has ym's that night. The kids are excited for Christmas although I told them if they don't clean there room I am going to talk to Santa about no gifts, hopefully that will get them to clean there room. We finally got a new camera, I was having withdrawls, we had been without one too long. Until next time!

Thankful!

I love this time of year and getting together for Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of the year. I love being in the kitchen helping my mom try to get everything ready on time while the food is still hot. I love lounging around and just visiting with family. I also love pies, I usually try to make a couple different kinds so we have a variety. I love eating leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner, it is such a comfort thing. I love watching my kids run around with their cousins without a care in the world. I love that I can decorate for Christmas a couple days later. I am so thankful for my family, friends and all those that have had a impact on my life. I think of many of you often that I don't get to see but always remember the friendships we share. I am thankful I can be with my family forever.

Halloween 2008

We went to our church's trunk or treat. We hit every car and I think the kids have enough candy to last the next year. Earlier in the day I went and helped at Brenna's class for their Halloween party. It was nice to go and help out, I made frosting to decorate cookies and pumpkin chocolate chip bread for Emma's class. I am done baking until Thanksgiving. All in all it was a good day, it seems so hectic but before you know if your done.
