Christmas Festivities 2011

Looking at the lights before heading over to the sing-a-long that we go to every year with my family.

Decorating cookies for Santa.

We did sponge curlers, can you tell? :)

Hooray for the toilet paper ball at Mann's on Christmas Eve! I was trying to take a picture of the action, but you really have to be there in the circle to feel the excitement.

Christmas morning! So much fun this year, Santa was very good to us. The kids all said this was the best Christmas ever! I don't know how we can top that next year.

Atticus turns Seven

Atticus got a bunch of BeyBlade stuff for his birthday.

One nice thing about winter is cuddly movie watching!

Halloween 2011

We had a lot of fun this Halloween. We may have waited too long to get our pumpkins from this patch in Hooper because the only ones left were a little green. The actual Halloween night was pretty crazy because Jon had to go out of town for work that morning. I sure missed his help wrangling the sugar crazed kids. But we did go trick or treating around our neighborhood.

Atticus, Scarlett, Veronica, Crystal

Jon made this awesome mummy costume for a party our neighbors were throwing.

I revived my old Indian costume with a few alterations.

Where to start?

So where do you start when you haven't blogged in months? I think that prevents me from doing any posts because I don't know how to catch up. But I am going with the better late than never theory at this point. So life is getting crazy with three kids. I thought they kept me busy when they were babies up all night. With Atticus in first grade and Scarlett doing reading lessons getting ready for kindergarten I sit down at night with Jon and all I can think is "so...that was a whole day WOW that went by fast! So anyway...onto some photos.
