Little Christmas Trees

The kids are getting excited for Christmas already and were begging me to get their Christmas tree's out and decorate them. So I got them out and let them have fun decorating them! They did a great job and always look forward to decorating them each year. The lights we had were burnt out, so we will have to get another strand of those tomorow. But here are some pictures of our finished trees!

Give Thanks!

We have been talking about what we are thankful for at home with the boys. Mitchell says he's thankul for trains and for Connor and mom and dad. Connor says he's thankful for trains as well. I hope next year they are thankful for more important things other than toys :) We are thankful for our healthy boys that we get to watch grow every day and for all the blessings that our Lord has blessed us with. But most of all we are thankful for Christ who died on the cross for our sins so that we may live in eternity witth Him! We are thankful that Jesus is with us every day guiding us in all our ways untill we get to that great day of being with Him in Glory! Oh how GREAT that will be! I pray that we may live our lives in thankfulness to Him for all of the things that He has done for us! Our family hopes that you have a blessed Thanks-giving with your family!

Awana's

This year we decided to bring our boys to Awana's at a local church in town. I thought it was good to have our children learn more about God in a fun way. My sister brings her son to Awana's at her church and spoke highly of it. So we go to Awana's every Wednesday night. I am a teacher in the Cubbie's room and Mitchell goes to Sparks. A few weeks ago Connor got to take Cubbie Bear home for the week and bring snacks with us to Awana's the next week! Connor was so excited to have him home and brought him everywhere with us during that week. Here's a picture of Connor and Cubbie bear!

Truck Paper

Last Sunday night, we stopped at the gas station so the boys could all get a truck paper. Then the boys all sat down at the table to look at the papers. It was moments like this that I wish I had a little girl to play with :)

Trick or Treating

Last week Thursday we went to Nana and Papa Olson's house for a halloween party! We dressed up in our costumes and looked for treats in the basement! On Saturday night we went Trick or Treating at the hospital with our Aunt Angie who came along! We were glad she did! The kids had a great time showing off their costumes.
