MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stradling Thanksgiving Visit!

Ward Thanksgiving Visit!

We had loads of fun visiting with family for Thanksgiving. Aubrey came with baby Kyle about 2 weeks early and we had a blast! Shawn, Ryan and Briana got here later and it was so much fun. Dinner was awesome, pictures were horrible. All in all, it was a fabulous holiday!

Our little water lover!

Here is Ariana doing one of her favorite things. Singing and playing the piano with Papa!

Ariana and her daddy before church.

This is Ariana before she went to church. It has been so hard to get pics of her lately because she never wants to look! These turned out pretty cute though.

Our Christmas party was a blast. The kids got to see santa, and Ariana was THRILLED! She has been freaking out because she learned about the naughty list while watching Dora, and has become obsessed. It's pretty neat now that she understands what Christmas is all about, and she likes to tell everyone the Christmas story. Connor on the other hand wanted nothing to do with santa, he just looked down at his hands the whole time. He didn't smile, but it's better than last year when we could not even get him to sit there. He cried histerically when we attempted to set him down. Now he knows who santa is and he likes him as long as he keeps his distance!

We did another craft fair at the end of the street this weekend, and it was a total waste of time for me as far as money goes, but I had fun making all my stuff! (And quite a bit of stress too:) Here are some of the things I made.

I agreed to make a corsage set for my sis in law Kara, and here is the finished product. I have no idea why it is upside down, it would not work the other way. Lindy helped me with the corsage. Thanks Lindy!

Our Halloween!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cousin Brant looking so cute in camo!


This is the only picture I have of these 2 together!


Our little turtle man!

The kids had a ball trick or treating!

This was definately the kids favorite part of the night!

Could picking candy out of a huge bowl get any better?

Lovin it!!!!

Going fishing!

This was actually before all the crazy stuff started. It was not even dark yet and Ariana was exhausted. We had just left Bashas and she took a five minute power nap. That was all she needed for a night full of fun!

Ariana got to decorate a cake at Bashas and she loved it! I gave her a piece the next day with just orange frosting and she said "Mom, I need to have green and yellow frosting on my piece!"
