I love this picture of Owen with Santa.  

I think he was too scared to cry.

 I had to sit with Santa to even get Rylie to just stand by him.

These pictures were taken at our ward Christmas party.

I LOVE our ward.

To start of the holiday season we took the kids out of school and went to the church museum downtown.  We went before the Christmas break so we wouldn't have to worry about crowds.  It worked....we were the ONLY people there.  The second floor is dedicated to children and it is AMAZING.  My kids had so much fun!  

After a couple of hours we had lunch and then went to the Visitor's Center across the street and explored all three floors.  It was such a great day.

Rylie's favorite part was "going to space."  :)

 I caught Liv trying the read the Book of Mormon in French!

THANKFUL

I love the month of November.

I love the fall weather.

I strangely love raking leaves.

I love my birthday.  :)

I love making soup for dinner.

She was so excited and asked me to take some pictures.

Happy Halloween 2011!

The girls all dressed up for a cute neighborhood party.

Halloween night!  {Liv was a little sad.}
I spiked Owen's hair and popped the collar on his denim jacket.....stud.
That counts as a costume, right?
