Christmas at our house...

Finally got all of our decorations up...
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I love Christmas!!

It makes my house feel so warm and cosy.

Come on over and check it out...

Ella's first tree...

This year Ella decided to help me decorate the tree. It was so much fun spending time together and getting her input on the tree decorations. She has strong opinions about how things should be. I love the outfit she chose for this day. What a character!

Hot Tub fun...

Thought we'd take a little night time swim...

and do the Macarena...
and a little YMCA...

Cub Scout Fun...

We had our pack meeting tonight. The kids were so silly. Here is their turkey...

What not to wear...

Starring....

The Cricket!!

Lazy day...

Thought we'd have a lazy day around the house...

We started with a dip in the hot tub... Followed by some homemade hamburger helper and potato pancakes...

Of course Ella thought she should dress up for the occasion.

The Revolutionary war was staged in my living room...

And a good day was had by all...

Happy Halloween!!

We had a great time trick or treating with our friend this year.

My Cricket was the beautiful bride!
She loves her friend...

and was not afraid of the spider at all.

OK...it wasn't that scary.

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Pumpkin making...

We finally got around to making our pumpkins...Ella went with the traditional smiley pumpkin.

Shawn named his pumpkin "Mike" and then wanted only that carved into it. Weird kid.

And Austin and Daddy collaborated on this one....I think it was modeled after Dad actually. Love the ears!!

While sitting at my computer....

I heard a noise and when I looked up...this guy was at my door. He was so funny.

Happy Squirrel Day!!

Grandma comes for a visit...

I love this picture. There's so much love!!
