Annie likes to make all of our musical decorations go at once.

There is a house near us that you tune your car radio to 88.5 and the lights "dance" to the music! Check it out - it's near Route 38 and Anderson Road

Today my Dad helped me put up my tree and some of the lights on the house. It was nice having my Dad there for the holidays. The kids loved it and so did I.

Cousin's day Colorado style-We went skeet shooting. Cole, Vaughn, Eric and Dylan have all done it on previous trip to Colorado with Uncle Scott. I had never been with on these other trips and they convinced me to try it. So now I can check "shoot a shotgun" off of my bucket list (even though it would never have been on mine)

Trading beans & growing crops. It's a card game called 'Bohnanza', but they like to play it cooperatively, instead of competitively. So, it's more like they're just playing 'Bean Farm'.

Today James and I woke up to a weird siren outside so we looked out the window and people we outside looking too. So I grabbed my robe and took James with me and saw Santa in a firetruck waving to all the kids. James ran up to him and shook his hand and then got candy canes they were handing out. Then later that day we saw Santa at the mall and took pictures this Santa took time to talk to the kids while we were picking out the pictures.

I worked overnight at Carson's for the black Friday sale, so I was wiped out tired all day today - didn't do much of anything & couldn't sleep. I had to go out to pick up our copy of the Willy Wonka DVD tonight, so I decided we'd walk, to get us all some fresh air & exercise. It was such a nice night for walking!

Thanksgiving with Grandpa! James loved watching the food bake in the oven and he loved how it smelled. My favorite was the brown sugar sweet potatoes they were sooo good. Emily also loved playing with Grandpa, she just kept piling up toys on him and usually Daddy never lets her do that so she was happy Grandpa didn't mind.

Happy Thanksgiving

Annie had so much fun playing with Madi & Natalia today. She wants me to invite them down for a sleepover sometime, but I told her that it would probably have to wait until January, after everyone's done working their seasonal jobs.

Miranda November 23, 2011

Gianni has toes/feet like me! : )

Annie rode with me to pick Allison up from the dorms, today. She's done with school until January, now!
