Thanksgiving

Guess what we were Thankful for :)

Oh Christmas Tree!

We have a tradition of setting up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. This year, we broke that tradition and went out and bought a tree about a week BEFORE Thanksgiving. We just couldn't wait! Another tradition we have is new ornaments for the kids that has something to do with the kids that year. Landon got a Santa ornament because this year, he knows exactly what is going on with Christmas and Santa and memorized and sings "Santa Claus is Coming To Town." Carter got a penguin because for some reason, he is obsessed with the penguins from the movie Madagascar.

24

I turned 24 years old on November 6th and was completely spoiled by my boys! Chris let me pick out my birthday present -a plum colored purse and a mustard colored wallet. Then he brought me home a cake from Harmon's for breakfast. That same day, Landon helped Pa-pa make a crazy cake with purple and pink colors in the middle. Landon was so proud of the cake! We just had to get a picture together. He was so cute this year...since he had no idea that I went out and picked out my birthday present, he thought that I didn't get a gift from him. As I was opening up a gift from my mom, he came up to me, had a pouty lip and said "Mom, I'm sorry I couldn't get you a pink DS." I about died! How cute is that? He thinks that everything that is pink is something I will want. Anyway, can you believe I'm 24 already? I feel like I am getting so old!

Halloween-ie

I am a bit over due with posting but better late than never! We look forward to Halloween every year but unfortunately, I got sick with the flu a few days before. The day before Halloween, I felt good enough to attend my parents "Truck Or Treat" at their church parking lot. It's the same concept of going door to door trick or treating but there, we went car to car. Afterwards, there were hot dogs and hot chocolate, and a costume and pumpkin contest. My parents decorated were retired tourists. It was pretty funny. It was a good way to spend Halloween Eve :)

On Halloween, the flu finally caught up with Chris so he was not able to take the kids trick or treating. It was raining pretty hard so I took Landon with a huge beach umbrella and Carter stayed inside with Uncle Travis. Landon went trick or treating for about 15 minutes because it was just too cold and he didn't like that. That was okay with me-better luck next year! At least we got to see our cute kids in their cute costumes. Incase you didn't notice, Landon was a knight and Carter was a "dragon." It was actually a dinosaur costume but close enough :)

Pumpkin Carving!

This year, each of the great grandkids got a special home grown pumpkin from their Pa Pa Red Truck. Landon and Carter went and picked up the pumpkins (out of the snow!) and then later that night, Grandma Wagner had a pumpkin carving party. Landon, Carter, and Evie got to decorate their pumpkins with cute little faces. Chris was sick with the flu so I observed and made sure the donuts and apple cider tasted okay ;) Landon slept through the party but woke up just in time to see the pumpkins all done. Of course he got a goody bag from Grandma too!
