Gingerbread Village!


We made a Gingerbread village tonight. It has trees, animals and gingerbread houses (of course). The only concern the girls had was that the elves (who leave special gifts in the advent calendar) would eat the candy! The elves at one tiny piece of candy and I'm going to wait and see if they notice.

Christmas Card Creations




Kelsey and Kaitlyn are both getting into coloring lately. It's nice to see them concentrating on their work.

Christmas Tree!

Here's our tall tree before we put the ornaments on it! Slightly swaying into the window but perfect as I see it! I'm not even going to try to adjust this tree!


Nate has a love/hate relationship with the shop vac. He loves to hate it.


The reindeer kind of tried to attack Kaitlyn! It literally stuck its entire upper body out of the fence to get to her! She's such an animal lover! I didn't get a picture because I was scared Kaitlyn was going to be picked up!
Looking sly.



We got off of the horse carriage and found our tree within 20 steps! We were at the tree farm for exactly 37 minutes!

Happy Birthday to Ryan!







They all look like they're really into the game but this was actually during the t-shirt give-away! They loved the dancers, cheeleaders, and give-aways!



Happy Thanksgiving!

We all enjoyed a visit from Aunt Michelle and Uncle Marco.
Here's Kaitlyn teaching Pappy how to navigate the iPad.

Kelsey sang her Turkey song for everyone while pounding on her oatmeal canister drum from school!


Kelsey and Kaitlyn posed (sort of) in their pilgrim costumes. Kelsey brought her's home from Kindergarten and then we made one to match for Kaitlyn.




Marshmallow - Fudge stripe - Pilgrim Hats


Kaitlyn's shirt says 'This girl loves chocolate" She does!

We made Pilgrim hat desserts for Thanksgiving. Kelsey and Kaitlyn enjoyed dipping the marshmallows into the chocolate!


Happy Birthday to Paige!

Kelsey was getting really serious about this motorcycle game. She's getting a purple motorcycle when she's old enough....yikes. Kaitlyn had no idea what she was doing - she's practically sitting on the screen. She let me move her around.

Kelsey and Kaitlyn had a great time wishing their friend Paige a happy 5th birthday!
