Emily's 3rd Birthday

Emily had a fun birthday. She wanted a pink elephant cake. We played with balloons and opened presents.

Rylie's Winter Program

Rylie's preschool class had a winter program on Dec. 14th and party. Josh went with me to watch it. Rylie did very well. After they went back to their class for food.

Ward Christmas Party

The kids were excited to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Emily was a little hesitant, but she did it without crying. We had a good time. They had the kids make crafts after they saw Santa, then we had dinner. Short and sweet, a perfect ward activity.

First snow storm of the season

On November 19th, the kids had to go out and enjoy the first snow of the season. Joshua:

The loot

Lots of candy!!!! The kids wanted me to take them around this year instead of Darren. I usually stay home and answer the door. We only went up one street and down the other side. Emily ran and fell down twice. That was enough for me. They got a lot of candy for the amount of houses we went to.

Carving Pumpkins

This is a fun and messy tradition. I had purchased, last year, some Mr. Potato Head kits which was really fun for Rylie and Emily. I just had to drill where they wanted them and They put them in. No messy gutting for the girls which was great!

Ward Halloween Party

We had a great time at the Ward Halloween Party. We had a family dance, food, and trunk or treat. Emily thought it was too hot to wear the hat of this tiger costume.
Rylie enjoying the food.

Joshua only ate this one cake ball on a stick and had an allergic reaction. He did not enjoy the rest of the night until it was time for the trunk or treat.

Alison had a good time hanging out with her best friend, Maggie.

As soon as we got there Jacob disappeared. We are glad he had fun with his friends.
