Christmas program/ Santa

Aden's Christmas program at Little School was

great! The 4 year old class sang "Rockin around the

Christmas Tree" and "Holly Jolly Christmas".

The boys with Santa after the program.

Aden tells Santa what he wants him to bring...

Austin's still not sure about this whole thing!

Pip is back....

Pip is back!!! This is our second year to

use "Elf on a Shelf". We named our elf Pip.

He is sent by Santa to keep watch on boys and

girls until Christmas. Our elf comes on December 1

and will go back to the North Pole on Christmas Eve.

Pip flies back to the North Pole every night to report

to Santa Claus. So every morning he's in a new spot for the

boys to find him! So much fun, for all of us!!

Here is Pip the first morning he came

to our house this year. Austin actually found him on

the light fixture above the stairs!

The boys are so excited about finding Pip!

They just cannot figure out how he got in to our

house and why they can't touch him!!

We are Thankful....

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!

We were able to celebrate with both sides of our family!
We are so thankful for all of our many, many blessings!

Our family....

My sweet boys....

their trophy!

So proud of his trophy....

Go Predators!!!

We were excited to go to our 1st hockey game of the

season! It was Austin's 1st hockey game and he LOVED it!

The Preds won in a double overtime shoot-out!

We made it through the entire game...it was GREAT!!!

The boys getting ready for the game!

Enjoying the game with my sweet boys!

Again, popcorn was a favorite part!

Halloween Night...

Mommy and Daddy with our two little indians...

The boys with some of our neighbors...

I loved watching them trick-or-treat together!

Aden was so sweet to help Austin, although he

picked it up very quickly! Aden would ring the

door bell and Austin would knock!!

Carving Pumpkins and Baking Cupcakes

I love this picture of Aden taking care of Austin, &

pushing his sleeves up before they start carving!

Tools in hand and ready to carve!!!

"Now what is it we're getting out of here?!"

"Yuck! This is what we're getting out Austin,
now stand back and watch!!!"

"Where can I help??!!"

Sweet Daddy helping the boys carve their pumpkin!!

The carved pumpkin...didn't they do a GREAT job?!

Aden helping mommy bake Halloween cupcakes.

Aden loves to help in the kitchen, whether it be cooking or cleaning up!

Aden's decorated cupcakes....YUMMY!!!

Two Little Indian Boys...

Daddy getting the boys all painted up...

Hold very still.....

All dressed up and ready to go!

Aren't these the cutest little indians you've ever seen?

Big boy indian...

Austin's new word..."MINE"!!

Dollywood...

Dollywood was GREAT! We had SO much fun!

It was all of the kids first trip to an amusement park,

and they all had a blast!! They were all such troopers

all day long! I have to say, I think the adults had

just as much fun as the kiddos!

Our family at Dollywood...
Mommies and the "big boys" having some fun!

Aden and Elan were cracking us up with their maps
of the park! We knew just where to go with these two
giving directions! Ha!


Aden and Emery LOVING the playground!

Can you believe these 2 are big enough to ride all by themselves??!!

I think they would have ridden for days! :)

My favorite picture....everybody looking and smiling! :)

The guys on the pulley ride!

Dark picture, but I had to post this one! I still

cannot believe that April go me on this old wooden

roller coaster! I hate roller coasters and I hate heights!

What was I thinking???

I was really glad that I did it once it was over and what

better person to ride with than one of your best buddies!!

We had another wonderful time Jay and April! We are so

blessed by your friendship and look forward to next year!
