It's begining to look a lot like Christmas.

Time for the Christmas Tree

So it's that time of year again. This year I stayed home with Luke & Logan and Brett took Ellie & Ian to find a Christmas tree. I packed snacks and sandwiches and of course hot chocolate. They all had fun playing in the snow. Once again Brett found a great tree, which was 18ft tall but I made him cut 2ft off the bottom. It still takes up most of the living room but we love it. Here is a few pictures of their trip.

The Messes They Make

So last night I went up stairs to feed Logan and told everyone else to get ready for bed. Of coarse Brett decides to have a styrofoam fight with the kids. It was hard to be mad because they were having so much fun, yet it was bed time and once again Brett was not getting the kids calmed down. Brett said that was the most fun he has had with the kids in a long time. I told him I hope he has as much fun cleaning it up.

Halloween Fun

Happy Halloween and oh I'm glad it's over. The kids tell me it was the best Halloween ever and I have to agree it was a pretty fun and busy month. From our block party to our ward trunk or treat, down to Brett's work and Halloween night, the kids collected a ton of candy. Thanks to Kristine for the idea of giving each of them a gallon size zip lock bag and letting them keep what ever candy they can fit in it. Which is still a lot of candy. Anyway here they are all dressed up and ready to go.

Halloween Block Party

Well we had our 1st annual Halloween block party. The kids had a blast and it was a good chance to visit with our neighbors. There was fishing for ducks, bean bag toss, cupcake decorating, caramel apples, hot chocolate and a bunch more. Some how I missed a picture of Luke. If you look real hard you can see him by the bouncer. We have done so much already and yet we still have our ward trunk or treat tonight and Halloween coming up Friday. I don't know if I'm going to make it. Sugar over load...

Pumpkin Patch and Pumpkin Carving

Off to the pumpkin patch to find the prefect pumpkins. I think Brett found two cute little pumpkins...

So about a week later we carved our pumpkins...
