Bridal Shower

My sister LeeAnn is getting married in January and we had a bridal shower for her while we all got together. It was fun but LeeAnn said we embarassed her too much!

Tooth Fairy?

So Cloe came in to me this morning and said, "Guess What Mom?" I said, "What?" "That Tooth Fairy Keeps Turning off our Christmas tree lights at night." "That silly Tooth Fairy." I couldn't break her the news it was just too cute, and I laughed and said, "that silly tooth fairy."

We have been busy getting ready for christmas! Doing our 25 days of christmas, christmas everyday in december. We got to go to the basin City arts center with Cloe's school and watch a christmas show, we've been making cookies, singing carols, reading the story of Jesus's Birth, watching christmas movies, making gifts, wrapping gifts, and enjoying each other. We helped decorate the gym for our ward christmas party as bethlehem and the girls dressed up like angels, Lindsay's version of abstract angels with colorful clothes and ribbons with bows for their halo's. (all the other ones were white :) One of the fifteen year olds in my Sunday School class said she looks funny with that big bow in the middle of her forehead, "I like it!" I said and I still do I think it was cute improvising costumes from our house! :)

We went galavanting the woods for our tree this year and Paige and Kota were trailing and getting stuck in and wet in the deep snow, so finallly I just said to Cloe and Dad, who had made it farther than us, cut one down honey we are going home. So this is the tree we got, It was prettier before we had to cut all the bottom branches off so that it would fit in the house.

Merry Christmas to All!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at my Dad's house there were about forty people there, Dorothy had most of her family there it was a nice day. I got to spent some nice time with my Dad, that was fun to go shopping with him too.

At Messy Me at the Rec center we got to see a real turkey for thanksgiving. Paige did not want to leave that turkey alone, the other girls found their feather and decorated their paper bag turkey's as well.

Since Brent had to work on thanksgiving and I had some thanksgiving appropriate food I made a thanksgiving dinner at home and had everyone draw a picture of what they were thankful for. It was a nice evening, the girls put on a music show for us and sang and danced and Dad gave the girls horsy rides, I love how paige is about to fall off, and there was even some football to watch. It was fun.

I made a bunch of pies for us and for the pie bake off at chruch, mine did not win a prize, I can't believe everyone was afraid of the cheesecake pumkin pie. Anyway, it was fun to do, very theraputic trying to get all the crusts to look just right I even made a couple from scratch. I also was suppossed to bring some to my dad's and forgot them in the fridge, so then they ended up at Grandma and Grandpa's for our thanksgiving with them. We met Brent to go there Friday and it was a nice trip there too we even got to see Tangled the new disney princess movie, a must see, very cute! That was our fourth thankgiving dinner this year, we also had a thanksgiving dinner at my mom's house when we went to Casper. Thanks to all for spoil us this year.

I really enjoy making pies as I said it's kind of theraputic and when my kids get a bit older I will love showing them how, but for now I let them make their own mini pies in a muffin tin with the left over pie crust, cherry pie filling, and oat and brown sugar on top, they really had fun with those and it was a nice dessert for after dinner.
