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.
