Holidays!!!

Well the holiday's have been very fun so far. Halloween was exhausting, because it was on Sunday I felt like I had to do extra things for the kids to make sure they didn't miss going trick or treating.
Kate was a beautiful ballerina,


Conner was "Luke Skywalker Jedi with a green lightsaber",


Sariah was a butterfly,


and Kyle was a pumpkin.


Even though I was tired the kids had so much fun, thank goodness.



Thanksgiving was a blast. I now see why it is Bryan's favorite holiday. This year was a small Thanksgiving my oldest sister with her two girls, my parents and younger sister and our family. My parents t.v. broke the day before Thanksgiving which was even nicer so we didn't have to yell over it. The food was wonderful and we had leftover for 2 days straight. We were able to skype my family back in Utah so I even got to see them. I think they liked seeing Kyle the best.
Then on Monday was Bryan's birthday which he was able to get off so that was a added bonus. He likes his birthdays simple, go out with me and then some cake and ice cream at night. I had so much fun with him, it was nice.
I know am getting into the Christmas spirit. I put the tree up right after Thanksgiving but it just didn't feel like Christmas in our house until I put all the other decorations up. I just finish today and now I feel warm and peaceful and ready for Christmas. I've had the shopping done for awhile now I just need to wrap them. I can't wait to make more goodies and start giving some to our neighbors. This is the first year that I actually have neighbors I say hi to when I see them. I pray that everyone has a fun and relaxing Christmas and hold your loved ones near.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy New Year!!!
