Christmas

We had a reaaly great Christmas this year. Breck was really into it and couldn't get the gifts unwrapped quick enough. Now McKenna was taking her on sweet time and it was driving Breck nuts that he had to help her.

He was so excited about this Mickey Mouse car race that he asked Santa for.

McKenna loved her new dolly and stroller. She pushed that stroller all around that kitchen all day. We enjoyed being with both our families over the Christmas holiday. We want to tell them thanks for all the great gifts you gave us and coming and visiting us.

Cookie Trains

My mom and I made these cookie trains for some of my neighobors for Christmas. And of course one for Breck and McKenna. They're really easy to make and I had fun making them with my mom.

Visit with Santa Claus

We took the kids to go see Santa and some reindeer at Quilted Bear last weekend. Breck went right up to him and sat on his lap. McKenna on the other hand was holding on to her daddy as tight as she could. Travis tried sitting next to him with McKenna and she started crying. I wish that we would've put her on his lap still. It would've probably made a great picture. Oh well.

But she did love seeing the reindeer. She loves animals.

Thanksgiving

I tried to get a picture of the kids together since they were dressed nice for Thanksgiving. But that was a joke. So I settled for taking seperate ones. McKenna loves her picture taken.

Breck does too, but he acts goofy when I take them. I get either a silly smile or no smile at all. We had a very nice Thanksgiving. We went to both of our family's dinners and had a good time at both. We are thankful for having such great family's.

Family Photos

We decided to get some family picutres done with Teton. Trav's dad took these above. I think they turned out good. After we got them done his dad told us that they weren't focused. We hadn't seen them yet. We decided to get them taken again before the weather got bad just in case. I think we got some great pictures from each time. Thanks Joe for taking some great pictures.

My dad took these ones and they also turned out good. Thanks Dad.

We've learned that it is hard to get a good picture of everyone. Especially when you are dealing with two active kids and a dog.

Winter or Fall?

Last week it snowed on Wednesday and the kids loved it. Travis is so happy that they like the snow, cause I'm not a big snow or cold person.

It was McKenna's first time playing in the snow and she loved it.

Of course Breck loves it, he goes out first thing in the morning to play in it.

Then on Saturday the snow was all gone and it was fall like weather. What a week winter and fall all in one week. The kids loved it.

Breck was upset that we're going to put the bags of leaves out on the road to be picked up. He wants us to save them and dump them out when he wants a leave pile. He loves the outdoors that is for sure.

Halloween!

My handsome fireman. He thought he was so cool in his costume. He had alot of fun this year. You can tell he is growing up and understanding what Halloween is all about. CANDY!

Our pretty butterfly princess. Her costume had a headband that went with it and she didn't want to wear it. The next pictures you see how she really liked her costume when we first put it on.

We are still trying to get a good picture. We didn't succeed this time.

So this is the first attempt putting on McKenna's costume. She didn't like it to much.

Here we have the finished pumpkins.

It took awhile for Breck to get into it, but he had fun after all.

As you can see in this picture McKenna wasn't really into carving pumpkins.

McKenna was so attached to these shrunken heads that we had for decorations. She treated them like her babies. She also had to drag them along when we went trick or treating in her princess outfit.
