Hey all! I'm playing catch up... again. I bet this comes as no surprise to most of you. But I digress.
So here's how our fall has continued.
Halloween:
Ian chose our family costumes this year... Super Mario World.
 |
| Ian was Mario. |
 |
| Kenya was Princess Peach and Trey was Toad (he wouldn't wear anything but the hat I made and even that was a stretch). |
 | |
| I was Luigi and Brian was Waligi. |
I didn't do very well on getting pictures this year.
Kenya's 5th Birthday:
My sweet girl is now 5 and I can't believe it. She is growing so quickly and I enjoy watching her learn and grow. Although, there are times when I think she acts just a little too much like me... stubborn and irrational. Oh well, old habits die hard. :)
 |
| It was also my sister Britt's b-day party too. |
Thanksgiving:

Other than Ian's Thanksgiving program we just prepared for the big dinners. On Thanksgiving day we went to Brian's parents for an early dinner and then Britt and I prepared part of the big dinner at our home for all of our family in town. It was busy and fun with tons of left overs.
The Friday after Thanksgiving I was able to go out with my mom-in-law and sisters-in-law. Mom treated us to a wonderful night and we were able to see the play based on the Liken films: "The First Christmas"
It was such a joy to see and I highly recommend it to everyone. :)
The Hunt:
Brian has been itching to start a tradition in our family that his family had when he was young... Christmas Tree Hunting. So he purchase a tree tag, and the Saturday after Thanksgiving we headed off to get ourselves a wonderful tree.
The excitement was buzzing until we got the kids out into the cold and snow. For some reason Trey refused to step in the snow and Kenya mostly just screamed while we pulled her through the snow. Although it was painful at first, we did have fun and did come back with a decent tree. It wasn't as full a tree as we'd hoped for, but we are pleased with it. Maybe next year we won't have so many screaming kids. :)

Well, now you're caught up and hopefully I can try and stay on top of things. :) Hope you enjoyed it.
