What a weekend!

We have had a wonderful weekend with my sister in town. We painted holiday cookies with family friends, ate wonderful food, open presents, shopped, played dirty Santa, sang a few songs, ate some more, shopped some more and now I am sad they are back in Auburn. We had so much fun. I will post pictures later my camera is not working. It says change the batteries and I have and it still says change the batteries. Maybe Santa will bring me a new one.
Sister, we loved you all being hear! Thanks for all the fun things! Beth Anne told Aunt K she was sad ya'll had to leave. Last night she wanted to know when Sadie could spent the night again. Did I mention my niece that is 2 1/2 spent the night with us. We had so much fun. She got so excited that she squealed and walk on her tip toes then would fall down. E-mail me some pictures when you have time. Love you!

Catching up!

Beth Annes thanksgiving feast was a lot of fun! Aren't they the cutest little Indians?

Thanksgiving was a little different this year but we had a great day! We normally go to my sisters house in Auburn but this year it was my in-laws turn. We had a wonderful day! We have so much to be thankful for...

My Little Indian!

It was John Marks first program at school today. Little Indians dressed up everywhere. They were precious!

I had the pleasure of doing the table decoration. It was so much fun!

The Fair

We had a great time at the fair with our cousin... We saw a dog show, a sea lion show, road rides and ATE. Our dinner was corn-dogs, roasted corn on the cob with hot butter dripping off of it and elephant ears!!!

Happy Fall!

I am loving fall break! It is so nice not having to get children up and out the door while still trying to dress yourself and putting make-up on in the car. At our house we aren't doing much of getting dressed this week. As long as we get a bath who cares what you have on. We have made pumpkin bread and even carved a pumpkin. I know it is going to be trash in a day or two but it is great entertaining and my kids love it. I love the pumpkin prayer it a lot of fun to carve! Hope you enjoy!

"Pumpkin Prayer"
{cut off top of pumpkin} Lord, open my mind so I can learn new things about you.
{remove innards} Remove the things in my life that don’t please you. Forgive the wrong things I do and help me to forgive others.
{cut open eyes} Open my eyes to see the beauty you’ve made in the world around me.
{cut out nose} I’m sorry for the times I’ve turned my nose at the good food you provide.
{cut out mouth} Let everything I say please You.
{light the candle} Lord, help me show your light to others through the things I do. Amen
