Fun in the Snow

With the little bit of snow we got last night the girls decided it would be fun to go play in it today. So while Ty was off at school the girls had me bundle them all up and they went in the backyard to play for all of 10 or so minutes. 

Snow...Snow...Everywhere

So this morning we woke up to a blanket of white snow. Well most kids when they see this would probably want to just go PLAY in the snow. Not my kids they would rather work and shovel the driveway and sidewalks. Where did theses kids come from. They thought it was fun though. 

Christmas Tree Decorating

One of the things I have been waiting for since we got into our house was to get a real, nice full christmas tree. Well we got one from Costco strapped it to the top of the minivan and brought it home. 

That night we got it all set up and all helped put the lights and decorations up. It makes the house smell so good.

Both of the kids wanted to put the star on the top so they each got a turn.

The finished decorated tree. So pretty.

And just because we could and had the room we set up our other smaller tree downstairs.

We love Christmas time and decorating the house and trees and I have the best helpers to do it.

Bean Museum and Bowling

While everyone was here for the Thanksgiving holiday on Friday we decided to all go have some fun. We went to the bean museum to see all the animals. The kids and adults all enjoyed that.

After the bean museum we went to Panda Express for lunch and then off to Fat Cats for some bowling fun. We couldn't keep Meg away from the bowling balls and lanes she loved it.

Happy Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving at moms house. She made some delicious food.

After dinner the kids went to the park for a little while why we cleaned up. When they got back we had dessert and some of us played games, some put together puzzles and others just hung out and enjoyed each other.

Happy Thanksgiving!
