Trimming the tree

Holiday spirit is in full swing in our house. I love decorating for the holidays and it is fun as the boys get older to see them pitch in and enjoy decking the halls (well maybe the walls) of our house!






Dallin and myself taking a break from decorating the tree



Dallin loves decorating the tree and even did the one in his room all by himself!



Even Ryan was getting into the spirit - he was taking the pictures but everyone needs their picture taken right?



Who can forget Carson? After 4 broken glass balls (he thought it was fascinating to watch them dissolve into a million shards on the ground) we were able to show him that the ornaments are much nicer on the tree. He still loves to walk up to the shiney glass balls and I can just see the look in his eye, but he hasn't thrown any more - yet!

Happy Thanksgiving

Dallin's kindergarten class's Thanksgiving Play. Dallin was a minister!

Happy Turkey day to ya'll!!! I have so much to be grateful for! My family - who loves me unconditionally, my friends, our health, our home, etc..... Truly we have so much and I thank Heavenly Father every day!!!

Well - enjoy your day everyone!

Halloween Fun

We love to dress up for Halloween! This year we decided a Star Wars theme was perfect. I never watched one star wars movie (that I can remember) before I got married. I have to admit they are pretty good! Dallin absolutely loves them, much to Ryan's delight.

Ryan is a jedi, Dallin is a padwan learner (a jedi in training), Carson is the cutest Yoda you will ever see, and I am Princess Leia!

Yoda

Cute Jedi!

Aren't they cute?

May the force be with you!

Carson trick-or-treating

So very cute!

Pumpkin Carving

We had fun carving our pumkins after our FHE lesson on Monday night. We invited our new friends, Molly and Paul Bates, over and we all had a blast!



Mine ended up being the phantom



Ryan is the master at pumpkin carving and he did the mummy, free hand.



Dallin enjoyed scooping out the pumpkin guts! With the help of his dad he made the alien.



Carson had fun drawing on his pumpkin.



Molly and Paul Bates creating fun pumpkins!



The results!!! The Mummy, by Ryan. The Phantom, by Megan. The Alien, by Dallin and Daddy. The Happy Face, by Molly. The Mickey Mouse ears and hands, by Paul.
