4 wheeler

we bought a little 4 wheeler. We apparently "need" this for the land. Oh well, it's fun!

Snow, snow, snow, SNOW

Saturday we had a little snow storm, we ended up with about 5 inches. The kids LOVED the snow and did not want to go in to get their snow pants on.



Front door.

Nile walking in the snow. Notice our snow flakes on the window. Can you tell which ones Nile made.

Our skinny tree looks so small in this house. Maybe next year it can go downstairs and I can get a BIG one!

Some of the upstairs decorations, there are just as many or more downstairs..... I have a lot of Christmas decorations, but I love it!

The methodist church hosted Santa Clause on Saturday. Nile told him he wanted Iron Hide (a transformer for those of you who may not know)

It started snowing when we were there and Emmy watched it for a long time.

Isn't she adorable. Her outfit, however, was rather upsetting. Even though I washed it according the instructions, it shrunk! She can still wear it, but the sleaves are a lot shorter :-(

That night we went to Nile's teachers house for an open house and tree lighting. It is a big tree!

Christmas Card

I had kind of decided I wasn't going to send out Christmas Cards this year, but here I am taking pics of the kids trying to get a good one to mkae a Christmas card.

First hawkeye game!

Brent took Nile to his first Hawkeye game Saturday. Nile said it was "so fun!" The hightlight of his day was getting held by Herky!

Bumblebee and a little fairy/ballerina

Since our neighborhood is filled with, well I'll just say it old people, there were only 3 houses to stop by and since they only get literally one or two kids that stop by, the game REALLY good treats and entire bags of candy

After stopping in our neighborhood we went to our friends house in town and walked around with them. Tessa and Emmy kind of matched. Sadie was in the front of the stroller and was a cute little lady bug. I was not on my game with the picture taking I was preoccupied with the massive number of kids running around and the fact that my camera cap fell off and I couldn't find it anywhere :-(

Carving pumpkins

Sunday we carved pumpkins at our friends house. Jayci was the pumkin top cutter.

It may look like all the kids were very involved, but after I took these pics they all went to play on the play set and the adults were left to clean out the pumpkins and carve them. Oh well :-)

I took several of these and Nile closed his eyes in all of them!
I never got a picture of our pumpkin at night... oh well it wasnt that great ;-)

4th Birthday Party!

We had Nile's 4th Birthday party today! Transformer Theme all the way! So happy our families were able to come, hopefully we will be able to do more things together now that we live closer to home!

Even Chloe had to join in the party fun
