Thanksgiving...it happened.

I know it is December but we have been busy around these parts! Here are a few pictures from the Thanksgiving break we had. Did I mention I got a new camera? Merry Christmas to me! Thanks to my awesome husband. :)

 Brady's sister and her family came down for Thanksgiving dinner. It was fun to have them! My kids have been talking about them since. They had a great time! Although Carter doesn't look like he is enjoying himself. Lets just say I had just gotten my camera and they were having way too many pictures taken of them! Sorry for the lack of Thanksgiving photos, I was cooking and didn't get a chance to pick up the camera. Darn it! Oh well. Our "feast" was amazing. Thanks for coming guys!

Ah, cousins. Love it.

Ella was quite happy to have her hat back that has been missing since summer! Although her cousin was trying to convince her it didn't fit her anymore and she would take care of it in her dress up. :)

A random day on her way to preschool that week. She is growing up fast this girl!

And next we will move on to Christmas. It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Pinkalicious

About a month ago, a friend and I decided to take our girls to Pinkalicious the Musical! It was a surprise for them, and what a surprise it was! It was really cute. Ella had never been to a real theatre before apparently. After it started she turned to me and whispered, "Mom, are those real people up there?" It was pretty cute. We had a fun girls night out!

Ready for her surprise! One and only time she will be allowed to wear Pink  and more pink. :)

We are here!

Jenny and Mia.

Ella and Mia.

Getting her autograph!

Eating their pinkalicious cupcakes. And no, they didn't turn pink the next morning. They were pretty bummed about that!

I love these kids.

My good friend was kind enough to take these cute pictures of my kids during the summer. I just never got around to posting them. So here they are! Aren't they cute? I think so!

Planking and More.

Little picnic at the park.

Like his massive mark on his head. This was a month ago and it's still there.

My cute girl.

What a ham she is. :)

Playing in the much too cold water with Mia.

My little ballerina. :)

Planking. :)

 My kids have no clue what planking is. They just wanted me to take pictures of them doing this. :)

More planking.

VOTE ED BACA!

My Grandpa is running for city council in St. George tomorrow. If you live in the area, come out and show him your support. VOTE ED BACA! This was Ella's favorite thing to say all summer long. :)

Halloween Overload

Here we are ready to go to the pumpkin patch. We went back to Roloff Farms this year and lets just say we did not have quite as good of an experience as we had last year. We didn't get a private VIP tour (dang it!) and the kids were CRANKY! They wouldn't let me get pictures of them. The result...no pictures of this event really. Oh well. 

Ella, Mia and Carter ready to go find a pumpkin!

Meet Jeremy Roloff-Farms (Ella named him). Brady caught him in their field and yes, we kept him. :)

Here they are, fighting over who will sit on the pumpkin.

Later in the week, we carved them!

Carter was WAY into it.

Ella gutted hers for the first time. She mostly used a spoon though. Too messy!

Our finished products. Can you tell which Ella did? :)

Naturally, anything with a candle requires a "Happy to you" song and blowing out of said candle.

Then we made some Halloween cookies!

This is before Brady's work Halloween party. Lets just say I didn't  get any normal pictures of them this year. 

Then after his party, we went for the trunk or treat. Here's Ella with some friends going around "alone". :)

How did this get down here. Here are out finished cookies that were supposed to be on top. 

Real Halloween. Here we go to trick or treat in the FREEZING cold!

She would only agree to wear a blanket in between houses for warmth. She didn't want to cover her costume. :)

Ladybug Girl and my little monster!

Aren't these awesome?! Someone had these in their front yard. Loved them. 

Isn't he a cute little monster?

Last door!

And finally, checking out the loot.

We had an exhausting, fun Halloween as most of you did. On to November!
