Merry Christmas!

On Santa's lap!

At the ward Christmas party the other night...the kids were able to sit on Santa's lap! Maycee...still this year...does not want anything to do with that scary man. Maybe next year she will be brave enough to at least stand by him :)!

O...Christmas Tree...

A couple weeks ago...we went to cut down our Christmas tree. We packed stuff for a weanie roast ...and headed to the mountains! I was a lot of fun...eventhough...it was absolutely FREEZING outside. Maycee just wanted to stay in the pickup the whole time...which I didn't blame her. She also wasn't feeling very well at that time.

I just have to say...I have the best hubby in the WORLD! The tree that I chose was down a steep hill...across a creek...and up another steep hill...and... he climbed, cut, and drug that tree all the way back to the pickup! What a good man ! :)

Alyssa's school Christmas program!

Alyssa did such a great job singing at her program last week! It was so fun to see her...and all of her 1st grade friends perform!

GREAT JOB ALYSSA!!

The first *SNOW*

The kids had a blast sleddin' in the first snow storm this year! Although there wasn't enough snow to completely cover the grass....their sleds still flew down the hill. Maycee was having fun sledding with big sis...and also sliding on her butt . Sadly, the snow didn't last very long...and it has been raining like crazy here. If only it would get cold enough to turn it into *SnoW*!

so {sweet}!

I love these pics! Maycee absolutely LoVeS her big sister! It is so fun to see how close these two have gotten. Usually...if she is in trouble from Kreal or I...she will go right to big sister because she knows that she will hold her. And Alyssa doesn't mind...she loves being a little momma. :)

Our Craft booth @ Octoberfaire

Here are a few pics of mine and my good friend Tara's booth at Octoberfaire. It was such a blast. It is so much fun to be able to see all of our hard work put together. We had to put tarps all around except for one side...because of the freezing wind and rain. So... the weather wasn't on our side...but we had a blast anyway!

Fall 2009

Here are some FuN fall pics of the kids. They had a blast playin' in the leaves and being my little models. :) Landon and Alyssa raked up a huge pile themselves...and jumped and played in it. I love this time of year...and the harvest that comes along with it! Our garden did really well...especially our carrots. Lets just say...our closet is stocked :) And... our huge craving this fall was... Pumpkin Cookies! We made them just about every weekend! YUM!!! I think my kids are finally sick of them :) {till next year :)} !
