Getting Ready For Christmas

Well we are so excited for Christmas. This year Grandma and Grandpa Airplane gave us a new advent calender I love it so much. The kids had so much fun putting all the candy in the socks. We are going to use our other advent calender to. We are going to have one in the morning and one at night.  

Our Christmas tree is half decorated I ran out of white tool. So I need to get more and finish it. I talked Kit into letting me get a new tree this year it is 9' I love it we needed it with our new vaulted ceiling in our family room. I love it every time I walk in. And it is pre lit so I don't have to put any lights on it. It was so nice.  

We were so grateful for the Missionaries who came over and helped us on thanksgiving to put up all our Christmas stuff and Shake the Pecan trees. We had such a good time with them. We are so excited for Christmas and the kids are trying to be extra good.

Turkey Trap

 Well the kids set a good Turkey Trap this year for Thanksgiving.

 They decided that the turkey would love some popcorn. So we put down some popcorn for the bate.

They got up at 430 in the morning because they saw feathers all over. I never knew that kids could get this excited on thanksgiving. It was like Christmas.

Well needless to say the turkey got away and left the kids some Reese's cups and some turkey and Pilgrim rubber duckies. Mabe we can catch him next year. Good thing grandma Mattie cooked one for us this year.

Carsens Program

 Today was Carsen's Thanksgiving performance. He did such a good job. He sangsongs and did the First Thanksgiving play. We are so proud of him.

The boys did so good and loved waching all the kids sing songs, and clap when they were done. Good Job Carsen! We love you!

Sometimes you just need to take a picture.

 We were decorating Mikyns turkey for school. We needed to use lots of different things and be creative. Well I got out all the craft stuff. When I looked down to get a glue stick this is what the twins were doing! I was wondering why they were so good. So needless to say one of those things you just take a big deep breath and then a picture.

It took forever to get it up and the twins still have glitter in there hair today! Funny boys!

Fall Leavs

 The Kids had so much fun playing in the leaves. They kept raking them up in a pile and jumping in them. Kennedy came over to play with them to. All the kids love playing with her.

 Everyone would count "one, two, three..." and throw them in the air. Even the twins.

I think they all loved it but Burgen wouldn't leave the pile for anything. A few more days and we will be picking up the pecans for Thanksgiving and then Christmas...

RACOON

Ever sence we had the racoon in yard the other year we have had a thing for them. My mom got the boys these shirts for the boys. And we had to get a picture of them with there dad.

this is all the kids before school in the morning. Everyone is up and going but me and dad. We still need more sleep but that will never happen again.

The Kids Before the Primary Program.

The kids were so excited to be in the primary program.

 So we put them in all of their Christmas clothes.

The kids did so good in the program. I was so proud of them. And the twins sat there very good for daddy to? What I was expecting to be a very stressful day the kids were so good. And it was a lot easier on me. I love you kids.

 We had so much fun we had over 150 balloons and the twins would run threw them and fall over. They had so much fun. This is Rowen doing a balloon angel.

 They got so many fun toys if feels like Christmas. And they felt like it.

 We sang happy birthday one at a time. Burgen waited and then blew out the candle.  

 Rowen blew it out as soon as it was lit I had to light it 3 times.

 They loved the cake and the sucker eyes. We are so excited to have them in our family.

I don't know what I would do without them. It seems like yesterday that we found out we were having twins. I love you boys Happy Birthday.

Father Son Date!!!

Carsen was so excited to go on a date with his dad. He got up at 6am and woke Kit up and told him to bet dressed. He didn't want to be late. Well he got up a bit later and they went out to breakfast with Grandpa for "eggs and grits"

 They got to the play after that and saw The Gingerbread Man.

Carsen had so much fun with his dad they were buddy's the rest of the day. I have never heard him talk like that ever. It was non stop. What a fun day I am so glad they were able to have that time together.

Happy Halloween

 Carsen had a Halloween party at school. He got lots of fun things from his class.

 That night the kids with Trick or Treating up and down our ould stree. Kit said the twin's walked the whole way. I stayed home and passed out candy.

When they got home we had hot chocolate and pumpkin donuts form Krispy Kream. They are so good, there isn't anything like them. Happy Halloween.

Halloween Party At Church

The kids have been waiting for this Halloween Party for a long time. The primary was in charge of it so I was just glad it was over. It ended being so good and there was such a good turn out. That is what we were trying to focus on getting as many there as we could.

 We had homemade corn dogs and chips for dinner. They were so good.

 There were so many fun games for the kids to play.

 This is the after math. The kids got so many good treats and toys.

Man we had such a good time and now time for Halloween.
