Fall was beautiful in Idaho and we had lots of fun activities. Halloween is always fun. Chloe had a great party at school. She dressed up like Elsa. Hannah was a nerd and Hayden was a werewolf. Kinley was a fairy princess. We didn't even get a picture - that's how lame we are sometimes.
Carving pumpkins at Grandpa and Grandpa Thornton's is always a fun thing to do. They watch the pumpkins grow all summer in their garden and are so excited when they finally get to choose their own and carve it. We were so happy to have Nick's cute family there with us.
We made a trip to Utah and visited with Granny Great. We did a lot of shopping, of course visited Smith and Edwards, and went to Scheel's. Hayden conquered his fear of heights and went on the ferris wheel. He held on to Hannah pretty tight. We were so glad that Aunt Kristie was able to babysit the younger two (they had a fabulous time) while we took the older two to the Motab Christmas concernt with the Muppets. It was a fabulous production and fun to be out with just the two of them.
We have tried to have dates with each child. This is when I took Hayden to Orange Leaf and we also played lazer tag. We also went to a movie one time and Hannah and I went shopping.
This is when Hannah got her ears pierced for the second time. However they are no longer pierced. She also got contacts so she could do gymnastics and basketball easier. She loves her new look. She is having a great time playing volleyball and basketball.
Chloe goes to Ms. Joy's preschool twice a week, has a playgroup with neighbors once a week and also got to participate in Bonneville's preschool with their child development class. She loved it! It was fun to go with Krew and Kendyl and she loved having her Grandma and Dad check in on her. The high school students did a great job putting it together.
We were able to host my entire family for Thanksgiving dinner this year. It was a major production to put it on but really enjoyable when the day finally came. It was great to visit with everyone. We moved our couch downstairs to fit everyone. The great thing about that was we liked it so much downstairs it stayed and we bought a new one for upstairs. We did lots o fun activities but the favorite was ice skating. Chloe loved her skooter she got to hold. It made it really easy for her.
Especially when someone pushed her!
We ended the week with my birthday. Happy 38th! It was nice to go out with the Becks, Sargents and Christians.
Then the countdown for Christmas began. The loved Fred coming back out, decorating and doing acts of service in our preparation for the big event.
