Winter Wonderland

We set up the Christmas tree.  The kids had a ton of fun.

 The kids love that our new tree can either have white lights or color lights.

 Kathleen was so excited about Christmas that she cleaned and vacuumed her WITHOUT being asked.

 Is it referring to Ryan or to Santa?  Who knows?

 Pictures for our stocking holders:

 Our Christmas lights:

 Then we were surprised with snow!  The kids have been playing in it all week.

Brandon and I went on a date to Wahooz.  He sure is cute. 

 Visiting Santa at the mall:

Happy Thanksgiving

Ryan took a day off of work before Thanksgiving, so we went down to visit the village.  The water fountain show is super fun.

 Then the kids went ice skating.

 Brandon helped Ryan cook the turkey.  They are such cute boys.

 A family turkey bowl:

 We found a leaf in ice that the kids thought was super cool.

 The kids loved seeing the statue Grandpa told them stories about.

 I told the boys to get ready for bed.  They came down looking like this:

 I took my cub scouts on a tour of the local fire station:

 I am not sure why this picture is here.  I guess this is a random one of Ryan and me with our world series shirts on:

 Brandon has been learning about planets at school, and loving every minute of it.

 Kathleen works in the kitchen at school. She is so cute:

 I have been playing volleyball with the most fun group of girls:

 Ryan and I accidentally matched for church one day:

 Brandon sang a solo in his school concert and was soooo cute (see previous post):

 Our friend Stacy had a birthday on 11-12-13:

 We had tithing settlement after church, so we had to eat lunch in our church clothes.  The kids looked so cute all dressed up with aprons on.

 Ryan and I finally got our sweatshirts we ordered.  LOVE THEM!!!

 Brandon has been playing basketball.  He sure is cute.
