We have had a fun month. There has been a lot going on. Between holiday work parties, ward party, a few birthday parties, and lots of school activities and parties we have been busy. A few things that we did do this month were making gingerbread houses with some friends, going to the movies, seeing lots of Christmas lights and just enjoying family time. I love this time of year.
This year for Thanksgiving we headed to Disneyland. We had so much fun. The weather was perfect. The kids had so much fun. Definitely one of our favorite places to go.
I think I have gotten carried away with ruffles. I do love them though. The ruffle tree skirt sure did take a lot of time and I won't be making another one anytime soon.
We were in a store last night doing some shopping and Ellie found this little trunk with a peace sign on it. She called it her treasure box. She wanted it really badly. I told her no and to put it back. She didn't want to put it back so I told her she could ask santa for it for Christmas. So she decided she needed to put it in a special spot so santa could find it. She rearranged the display and put her treasure box in just the right spot so santa could find it. It was so cute watching her do this.
A picture of Lucy for the fun of it.
Ellie thought it was cold while walking the kids to school. It really wasn't that cold. Don't you love the flip flops, skirt, short sleeves and then a puffy vest?
Abby is the best helper with Lucy. Before church last week Lucy was crying so Abby picked her up and Lucy went right to sleep.
Braden had a fun Fall party in his class last week. Ellie, Lucy and I went and joined in the fun.
Lucy with her grumpy face.
Last night we loaded the kids in the car and headed to a pumpkin patch in Mesa. It was small but the kids had a good time. The weather was nice and it was nice to get out of the house. Ellie's favorite thing was riding the ponies. Don't you love Ellie's headband. She just had to wear it. Abby loved riding the horses also and Braden liked the games. It was a nice evening.
Abby and Ellie are such good helpers. They take turns holding Lucy so I can get a few things done. Love the help!!!!
