My friend personally knows Santa and has him come to her house every year. It's wonderful to have more time with him then you do at the mall. They all wait for him and when he comes he reads them a book and they all get their turn talking to him then he has a little something for each of them. As you can see D did really well with him.
A and B had their lists to show him and C had a picture for him.
Merry Christmas!!
Just as we do every year, we headed to Panaca for Thanksgiving. Most of big B's family goes and it is great to see everyone and for the kids to play with so many cousins. One of our biggest family traditions is to go and find our Christmas tree in the wild and cut it down ourselves. Big B did this all growing up but for a city girl like me I love it and can't leave Panaca without doing it. (Big B could live without because it is a lot of work getting it all the way back home.)
Here is the man hard at work. Thanks to aunt K for helping us decide on which tree.
We spent a few days in Cedar and the kids favorite great aunt got them presents, C got tools. So naturally he had to help daddy with the hard work.
A tried soccer again this year and really enjoyed it. She learned a lot about the game of soccer instead of just chasing the ball.
She even played goalie.
Her coaches were amazing. One of them coaches for the local high school and the other was B's coach last year and he and his wife make sure the season is full of fun. It was a great season! 
This was B's second soccer season and he improved SO much!
Here he is in action.
This is at the last game after he got his trophy. I'm so proud of how hard he tried this year and how much he improved.
We've started the real baby food. She couldn't get enough of it but only the first night then she decided she rather not have the peas.
YUM!
This was Halloween night. Both of my brothers came over to partake of the nights wonderful festivities. We love when we have cousins to hang with!! We live in a great area to go trick-o-treating because the houses are so close together you can get a lot of candy in a short amount of time.
This was the night before at the trunk-o-treat for church. D was a pumpkin, C a cowboy with his lasso and stick horse, B was a shadow ninja/vampire, and A was a dancer because I spent too much money a that dance outfit for her to only wear it to one dance recital. (The other kid on the picture is our good friend who came with us.)
We've started D on rice cereal! I was going to wait a little longer but she is always eyeing my food when I eat and I was hoping it might help her sleep better. (it hasn't)
Can you tell what she thought of it? She actually started to choke on it. She has it down now but I can tell she knows there is better food out there.
This picture is just because she is so dang cute and getting so big.
