Christmas trees

Haley wanted to make gingerbread houses, but since I have neither the patience or artistic talent for that I decided to make Christmas tress out of sugar cones.  All of the kids enjoyed it, though I'm convinced more of the candy ended up in Isaac's mouth then on his Christmas tree.

Christmas Lights at the Riverwoods

We took the kids to Riverwoods so they could see Santa.  We walked around to see the Christmas lights and then went to Mama Chu's for dinner.  Haley and Logan thought that since we were at the Riverwoods, it only made sense to eat at Tucano's for dinner, but we explained that Tucano's was too expensive for dinner.  

 Derek asked for a toy dragon.

 Logan asked for a remote control helicopter.

 Isaac asked for a stuffed animal.

 Tyler doing his cheese face while being upset by sitting on Santa's lap.

 Haley asked for a barbie playset from Santa Claus.

 Amanda met us there and walked around with us.  There are several fire pits around where we could warm up.

 Isaac's cheeks are covered in a rash from Slap Cheek. A virus.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Mommy and Logan date

 Kevin was out of town so I took Logan to a very anticipated BYU/ Iowa St basketball game.

 This was how it looked when the game was going well.  He really wanted to see Mika dunk and he wasn't disappointed.

 The end of the game was very close and Logan wanted to leave because he can't handle a close game.  Everyone around him was standing, but he couldn't.

Unfortunately we lost a very close game.

november wrap-up

 Tyler loves chips.  They are his favorite food, unfortunately.  I bought this bag of chips so that I could try the new flavor and next thing I know he had finished the bag, crumbs and everything.

 Boys pretending to have a wonderful phone conversation.

 Logan made an AAU club basketball team.

 just too cute.

 Tyler was reading a book in my bed after his nap.

 Haley has been going to a craft and cooking club.  This is a plate of goodies.

 Haley had to do an autobiographical book report and we picked a book about Bill Peet and she had to dress up as him.  We borrowed a vest from our neighbor and at first Haley didn't want to wear it because she said it smelled like our neighbor Noah, who is a 10 year old boy.

 Nap time.

 I got to help at Isaac's kindergarten thanksgiving feast.

 Tyler enjoyed his Thanksgiving dinner.  He's licking the plate clean.

 Our snake has gotten really big.

Isaac went with Kevin and I to the BYU/Utah st basketball game at Energy Solutions Arena.
